Sa004 features two exceptional remixes of Lucy & Ercolinos last 12 inch on Stroboscopic Artefacts. The a-side >Gmork< is given the darkly elegant techno treatment by someone who needs no introduction: Luke Slater. On the b-side, Dadu rips into >So the nothing grows stronger< with a massive dub agenda, showcasing the meeting point between the UK dubstep scene and Berlins formidable techno output.
Techno pioneer Luke Slater (aka Planetary Assault Systems), honoured Stroboscopic Artefacts by taking sa003 on his latest tour of Asia. While still in Japan he was inspired to remould and rethink >Gmork in the studio, giving the track his twisted hallmark. He takes the original elements of >Gmork and weights them base-side-up. In his hands the track becomes more dizzying, disorientating and hypnotic than before. Luke slater injects playful flourishes in the form of odd glassy sounds and off beat insertions. For anyone who has experienced one of his berghain residency sets you will recognise the warped 9am atmosphere. Dadubs retreatment takes the original material and reconfigures it using subtractive synthesis. The analogue process assures the tracks bespoke, simmering atmosphere. Testament to the fact that the dubbing was live recorded, the structure hovers, swell and swirls around the massive weight of the baseline. It is an organically structured piece of music: a cooling, crystallising remix solution.

The word 'massive' seems appropriate. I think this is about as
much bass as anyone can handle. Great release, both tracks.

Really enjoying this promo, nice to see a label willing to take some
risks... so I can appreciate that. Both mixes are great, though I
think I will focus more on the Dadub rerub. Both will be played!
