Slater is a man of many aliases, which makes keeping tabs on his musical movements quite difficult for those new to his work. In recent years, Slater has been spitting out rolling house as L.B. Dub Corp, mutilated acid as Clementine and ecstatic, ambient techno as The 7th Plain.

Undoubtedly, however, it’s the Planetary Assault Systems moniker that has earned Slater most of his accolades. The project was brought to life as far back as the early ’90s and has continued building notoriety and momentum right up to 2016’s seminal Arc Angel, which he described to Electronic Beats as a “surreal fantasy with an escapist edge.”
