luke slater: berghain fünfzehn

Berghain Fünfzehn sees Luke Slater creating new compositions from the Ostgut Ton back catalog, chopping, looping, tweaking, and deploying sounds into a mix that is both a playful retrospective of the label and future-facing vision for mixing and dance music. Seven exclusive tracks from the Berghain Fünfzehn DJ mix will be released as a double 12". De- and reconstructing the Ostgut Ton discography, Slater's vision encompasses not only sampling but live electronics and improvisation, resulting in a broad spectrum of heady and liminal dance music: from ultra stripped-back mindfuck techno, vocals and blasts of distortion to breakbeat excursions, minimalistic acid, and rave polyrhythms. In other words: the arc of the label through Slater's singular hallucinatory prism.
