In celebration of its 30th anniversary, Plastikman, aka Richie Hawtin, has remastered his groundbreaking second album, ‘Musik’.
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 Plastikman’s 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.
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 album’s intensity - on and off the dancefloor - has lost none of its potency in the intervening years.
