Supplying the sole remix here is Portuguese titan Steve Parker whose recent releases have graced labels like Andre Kronert’s ODD/EVEN and Planet Rhythm, alongside a back catalogue that also includes Sven Väth’s Cocoon, Josh Wink’s Ovum, and Damon Wild’s Synewave previously.
"Planet Nine" is a stomping cut that focuses on a looping acid riff which surges with energy and additional tones. Hypnotic and full of suspense, it's a lesson in building a restrained atmosphere.
Steve Parker adds a jackin' funk on his superb rework. Opting for a slightly more straight forward jam, he twists up the original by expanding the acid lick and creating a wonderful spacey vibe.
The third track "Cassini" has a bouncing acid line and punching rhythm. Keeping it raw and somewhat stripped back to the essentials, this is a DJ weapon in full force and ready for manipulation.
Closing with "Toboga" as the final track, LATHE pulls in a distinct lead sound that summons certain Detroit influences. It's hook has a deep soul and feels like an emotional layer created over an analogue backbone that is dripping in peak time flavour.
