Plastikman: Musik Vinyl 2LP

“In celebration of its 30th anniversary, Plastikman, aka Richie Hawtin, has remastered his groundbreaking second album, Musik, from the original tapes for a new limited bio-vinyl edition. The record was first released in November 1994 through NovaMute and Plus 8, following the debut Plastikman album, Sheet One (1993). A masterclass in minimal techno, Musik quickly propelled Hawtin to new levels of success. The release followed Plastikmans first-ever live performance in a black vinyl-encased room at a semi-derelict Packard Plant in Detroit, where Hawtin was central to the burgeoning underground scene. Before the full album hit the shelves, the track ‘Plastique’ (which was later described by Q as ‘…the flipside to Hawtins early singles, all ticking percussion, feline acid tweaks, and cushioned sub-bass’) set the stage for a more dance floor-friendly album, albeit one with an unsettling and sinister side. The album defined a moment in techno that still echoes today. Now, 30 years later, the album has been remastered from the original tapes, reminding us why Plastikman is a name that still resonates and that the albums intensity on and off the dance floor has lost none of its potency in the intervening years. ” – Mute
