The fourth vinyl and digital EP is from Italy based LATHE, a production alias of an already successful artist, who has been carving out a new path on labels such as Shlomi Aber's Be As One and On Edge Society. He can also be found collaborating with Alex Bau, and remixing for Vinicius Honorio's Liberta label.

Supplying the sole remix here is Portuguese titan Steve Parker whose recent releases have graced labels like Andre Kronert’s ODD/EVEN and Planet Rhythm, alongside a back catalogue that also includes Sven Väth’s Cocoon, Josh Wink’s Ovum, and Damon Wild’s Synewave previously.

"Planet Nine" is a stomping cut that focuses on a looping acid riff which surges with energy and additional tones. Hypnotic and full of suspense, it's a lesson in building a restrained atmosphere.

Steve Parker adds a jackin' funk on his superb rework. Opting for a slightly more straight forward jam, he twists up the original by expanding the acid lick and creating a wonderful spacey vibe.
