Plastikman – Krakpot
Acid techno perfection. Two fantastic tracks on a modest 12″.
System 7 – Alpha Wave (Plastikman Acid House Mix)
Masterpiece remix that was in everybodys record box. With just with a small part from the original track Hawtin transformed it to one of the finest acid excursions from the 90s.
Winx – Don’t Laugh (Richie Hawtin Remix)
Sinister idea with a sinister voice turned into an even more sinsiter remix. Only 15 minutes!
Not far from Detroit Richie grew up and became one the most important figures in the techno. He has crafted his own personal style and signature through many years of experiementing with new ideas. Also outside the traditional form. The minimal techno path has noe always led to musical flowers but he as managed to keep his outcome relevant alll the way.
Hardtrax – Cowboyphunk
The Hawtin brothers did two successful 12″s under the Hardtrax name. Lovely 909 work out,
Plastikman – Hypokondriak
If you want to add stress to a discussion or drive your non-techno friends to madness, play this. Otherwise a superb tension builder whenever you need it.
Richie Hawtin – Minus Orange
Based on a Yello sample. This was the 12″ to accompanying his impressive Decks, EFX & 909 tour. The M_nus label was new and the music went to a more DJ orientated approach from here.
F. U. S. E. – Phase 1 (Motorcity Madness)
Before Plastikman there was F.U.S.E.. A project with key partner John Acquaviva
One of his first releases. Might have felt futuristic at the time but the brilliance was just around the corner.
Jack Master – Bang The Box
A big nod to Chicago and its roots of house music.
F.U.S.E. – Train-trac
Even the simplest ideas can blossom to a cool track, or five in this case. The FUSE album is a bit softer and includes some of his finest songs.
Richie Hawtin – (R)Edit #2 (Range’d) from: DE9 | Closer To The Edit (Parts)
A continuation from Decks, EFX & 909. Sampled and looped records from a DJS perspective. The myth is real: «Taking others songs and make new ones»
