British technoist Luke Slater delivers a gung-ho mix of machine funk and techno straight from Fabric's Room 2 on the latest installment in the series. 'Fabric 32' is out in January.

Slater first became known for his work as Planetary Assault Systems on the Peacefrog imprint in the early nineties, bringing an aggressive edge and electronic swagger to the Detroit sound, but it was his longplayer 'Freek Funk' (1997) under his own name which crossed over to global dancefloors with its blend of deep acid and electronic funk. Follow-up albums 'Wireless' and 'Alright on Top' saw Slater experimenting with vocals, electro and synth-pop, and recently he's has taken control of his music by setting up his own digital and vinyl label Mote-Evolver.

On his Fabric mix, Slater was intent on capturing the vibe of the London venue so, in a first for the series, he recorded the mix in Room 2 at the club one afternoon. “This mix is a true representation of what I play there," says Slater. "I wanted to do the main part down at the club to get that vibe right from the club. It’s kind of a funky punk disco electronic mix and specifically related to Fabric. I’m excited. Fabric really is quite special, they put in a lot of effort and I have many, many emotions attached to Room 2. "

The mix contains several new cuts from Mote-Evolver, big tracks from Audion, Switch and Martin Buttrich as well as the Basic Channel classics 'Phylyps Trak II/II'.
