Luke Slater’s Reassembled isn’t just a remix collection – it’s a full-scale deconstruction and rebirth of Planetary Assault Systems’ deep, hypnotic aesthetic. Slater, ever the forward-thinker, has handed the scalpel to some of the most incisive minds in techno, and the result is a release that feels both reverent and daringly new.

Len Faki takes Give It Up and drives it deep into the strobes of a sweat-soaked Berlin warehouse, first with a rolling, hypnotic urgency, and then, later in the record, with a more insistent, full-throttle hammer of a remix. Chlär’s take on Strange Attractor pulls out eerie atmospheres, building an unsettling yet danceable energy that weaves through the night like an apparition.

Oscar Mulero’s double treatment of Surface Noise is a lesson in contrast—his first remix tightens the screws on the track’s timeless futurism, sculpting it into something sleek and precise, while his second version revels in chaos, stripping things back to raw percussive power. Rene Wise, meanwhile, takes Slater’s Raid and submerges it into shadowy, off-kilter depths—less straightforward, more hallucinatory, perfect for that moment when the dancefloor stops being a collective and starts feeling like a personal journey.

Then there’s Slater himself, stepping in to close the album with a trio of his own reassembled works. Rip The Keys is the unexpected wildcard—a glossy, house-infused take that glows warmly but still hits with intent. Desert Races is built for the peak-time purists, high-speed and relentless. And Engage Now To Surface? It’s a plunge into distortion and weight, a fittingly murky, cerebral closer that lingers long after the final kick fades.

There’s something special about Reassembled—it doesn’t feel like just another remix album. These aren’t simple reworks; they’re reimaginings, designed with care and executed with precision. Every track stands on its own, yet together they form a cohesive, pulsating entity that keeps the PAS spirit alive while pushing it into new dimensions. A masterclass in techno evolution.
