Marcel Fengler - "Frantic EP"

After Fengler's contribution to Part 5 of the Berghain compilation, he returns with yet another  EP for the Berlin club's imprint Ostgut Ton. The material on the Frantic EP is a development on his previous work on the label and its fluid and funky techno is more suited to the likes of Panorama Bar than Berghain's mainroom dungeon. Preview the three track EP below:

Stream: Planetary Assault Systems (aka Luke Slater) - "The Messenger" LP

The 'Sonic Aventurer' Luke Slater returns as Planetary Assault Systems for another ground-breaking long player on Beghain's Ostgut Ton label.  Luke set the bar pretty high when he described the aim of his newest album as being "a journey of discovery, to create new sounds which are not otherwise present in club music at this time."  Red Cup will have to agree with him on that as on "The Messenger" he provides a soulful and hypnotic techno album that goes beyond the genre's typical bells and whistles.  Thanks to the man himself you can now listen to the entire album below in one continuous soundcloud stream or you can order it here:

Marcel Fengler - "Sphinx" EP

We came across the first release by Marcel Fengler on his brand new label IMF (Index Marcel Fengler) entitled "Sphinx" EP. Curiously the A-side consists of two tracks of experimental techno with potential Autechre influences. The B-side is title track "Sphinx" which is a high-resonance techno track, which would appeal to Skudge fans.  Listen to the EP below:
