It’s almost hard to believe that the original series of “Planetary Funk” 12”s by Planetary Assault Systems dates back to the early 1990s, given the continued relevance of this hard-edged suite of tracks, and their ease of integration into present-day techno sets. Characterized by their unflagging momentum and by almost militaristic deployment of techno’s atomic particles – submachine-gun handclaps, acid-soaked bass patterns, the icy chatter of ride and hi-hat cymbals – the spirit of these tracks has never really vacated the club scene. The 21st century re-activation of the Planetary Funk moniker isn’t a nostalgic look backwards so much as an expansion of its original mission.
