originally released on richie hawtins minus label a decade ago, restore stands alone as houles very first long-player and helped to establish his penchant for the quirkier side of techno and his superlative production skills. spread across three 12inches & 11 tracks it encapsulated the dark, minimal, groove-driven sound purveyed by hawtin and the rest of the minus crew, while retaining a strong sense of houles unique character and identity. now its the perfect time to breath new life into an album that has stood the test of time, still utterly infectious and absorbing - a collection of music that captures an era of stripped back, yet captivating sounds. 10 years since its release, the album is getting the remix treatment and marc has called in some of the very best in techno talent to give restore a fresh makeover.

inspired in equal measure by analog synthesizer technology and the lush swedish countryside, genome marks the first collaboration between veteran techno producers patrick siech and minilogues sebastian mullaert, with part one of the three-ep series appearing on richie hawtins minus label. recorded live to tape last spring, the four tracks that comprise genome 1 make for a transformative dancefloor experience that morphs and swoops its way through soulful, sweaty analog techno with flourishes of 303-style acid. pressing on heavyweight 180 gram vinyl.

a key member of the minus family for almost a decade, jon gaiser is to release his lead single krakdup preceding his full length release false light in november. since 2005, gaiser has been at the heart of the minimal techno movement. his hugely atmospheric eps and lps have always explored the darker, more stripped back and abstract edges of the dancefloor and have often done so in conjunction with immersive and complimentary live visuals

1st pressing of 500 copies in limited embossed sleeve & 180g vinyl. a regular in my dj sets as demos, nsound pushes us all to hear what is seemingly not there. only the brave have the confidence to create music that is so basic in its core but so deep in its intention, pushing each of us to imagine where the sound stops and the silence begins.

following his successful dj mixes ambivalent returns with more studio material on minus.

the click box sound is almost mathematical in its precision, meaning their first return to minus for a while adds up to something really quite special one again.

matador is a dublin based dj,live performer and producer who has been releasing his own twisted but organic take on techno for the last four years. late last year came the huge kingswing ep on minus and now this spooks ep sees him step-up once again for a 5 track outing which balances his usual melody with a real techno drive. the title track opens proceedings with predatory, roughshod bass tone running underneath blippy melodies, snappy house influenced percussion and a dark male vocal where kenekt is all out sci-fi weirdness.spiralling space ships, undulating basslines and plenty of well-defined percussion all add up to a snaking track that really works its way under your skin.on the flip,b1 bambam is the most heads down and streamlined techno offering of them all before klay is the ep closer which manages to bend and drip little melodic droplets down the face of slinky hi-hats and deep,rolling basslines.

joel boychuk alias hobo, einst teil des duos tractile, mit seinem ersten solo-album. -iron triangle- ist ein pures und gradliniges minimal-album, das die minus-fangemeinde begeistern wird. mit hobo praesentiert richie hawtins label minus einen neuen namen, der die philosophie des labels kongenial auf den punkt bringt. auf -iron triangle- dreht sich alles um elektronische tanzmusik, die ohne unnoetigen ballast oder zierat auskommt und keine zeit damit verschwendet, nostalgisch in die vergangenheit zu blicken. joel boychuk heißt der aus kanada stammende mann, der sich hinter hobo verbirgt. er ist kein neues mitglied der eingeschworenen familie um richie hawtin, ist er doch eine haelfte des einstigen minus-duos tractile gewesen.

joel boychuk aka hobo takes us on a tour of the iron triangle this winter, when the canadian producer releases his debut album on minus - a destination point for the techno artist whose very name embodies both the restless spirit of his productions and his journey from being one half of the former minus duo tractile, to being a recognized star performer in his own right.

minus are proud to present the newest member of the family, in the form of matador.in the past four years gavin lynchs sounds have found a home on perc trax and cocoon, plus most recently on plus 8 where richie hawtin recently introduced the young dubliner ahead of his first minus event (at berlins watergate, joining the minus team for the official fly bermuda afterparty), with his stellar remix of bryan zentzs d-clash.

fresh and delicious partyshakin stuff

arkives analog features 6 pieces of 180 gram vinyl, exclusive tracks and a limited edition poster, presented in a deluxe custom box. (12 songs).... richie hawtins triumphant return to the stage as plastikman in 2010 proved that his best-known alias is as innovative and as relevant as ever. hawtin has taken plastikmans most classic material, originally released between 1993 and 2003, and reworked it for a truly live performance accompanied by mind-bending, synchronized visuals-a sound and light show like no other, one that collapses the distance between present-day festivals and the uncompromisingly underground warehouse parties of the mid 90s. for many attendees, this is their first taste of plastikman...

killer prime time techno double header !!!

slamming killer tech tracks, from minimal to techhouse

excellent hypnotic spacy tech anthems

there. is. nothing. better. than. a. clear. blue. sky. after the storm. taken literally, the track listing for barems debut lp represents that fleeting moment when nature puts its house in order, when calm and clarity triumph over chaos. of course it also works perfectly as a metaphor for those fuzzy moments of self-reflection while sprawled on a hotel bed after another mind-blowing night at the controls, or while taking stock of a musical journey thats about to culminate in a debut album for the internationally renowned label that motivated you to start making music in the first place. this is the vinyl version of barems debut album, with five specially edited tracks for all vinyl-lovers

mit dem aus buenos aires stammenden produzenten und dj barem schickt sich ein weiterer act aus dem minus-stall an, den sprung in die erste liga zu schaffen. seitdem 2007 die erste ep des argentiniers auf richie hawtins label minus erschien, ist sein sound von eher strengen minimal-strukturen hin zu einem sehr organischen und perkussiven house-sound gereift, der sich des vokabulars von dub meisterhaft zu bedienen weiß. barem ist ein produzent, der sich nicht leicht in eine schublade packen lässt. in seiner jugend spielte er in diversen blues- und rock-bands seiner heimatstadt buenos aires - bis er tief in die welt der elektronischen musik eintauchte. und so taucht auf seinem ersten album >after the storm< auch mal ganz unvermutet ein 6/8-blues-takt auf.

argentinas barem issues a summer storm warning with >blue<, his first ep since 2008s >kolimar< and a preview of what is forthcoming on his debut lp for release on minus, after the storm, which follows in june. with the album running order based around the full sentence >there is nothing better than a clear blue sky after the storm<, the lead track of this new ep >blue< - appearing here as an alternate vocal version - is positioned at around the eye of the storm, conjuring images of rain-soaked, squall-battered beaches with clouds breaking just enough to reveal the daylight thats promised after the storm.

in all of his years of being a certified veteran in the world of techno - from his beginning days in napoli in the early 90s to his celebrated status around the world today - marco carola never once lost grip on his main priority: letting the music speak for itself. throughout his leagues of vital releases and endless stream of dj dates, his focus always steered clear of sensationalized press angles, or ranking up the charts he chose to instead keep his head down and his passions high. carola retains a rare sense of integrity, despite being an artist who is consistently changed the face of techno.

encapsulating carolas approach to techno in both sound and title, groove catcher is the naples producer at his best, with a rolling bassline punctuated by a percussion pattern that teases out the funk of the track in carolas trademark style: pacey and direct, but with enough bounce and fluidity to fully snare the occupants of the dancefloor within its grip and make them do its bidding. fellow album cut, the method, which appears on the vinyl format only, is similarly insistent whilst lighter in tone - if groove catcher is best employed at the peak of a club set, then the method is its daytime terrace equivalent. leading the ep will be the rework of groove catcher by martin buttrich, with the german producer lending the considerable talents that have led to releases on poker flat and cocoon recordings - as well as his recruitment behind the mixing desk for timo maas and loco dice - to a pair of remixes that transform the original into a different beast entirely. remix a mutates groove catcher into something monstrous and intimidating, bringing a different intensity to the track and injecting it with a heightened sense of danger.

repress! a special vinyl release featuring the two stand-out tracks. static level is a trip into the insanity of late night repetition. losing your mind never sounded so gratifying. much like mental illness itself. unstable witness brings the overall energy up a notch with a quirky tune utilizing fresh bass tones and an uphill key structure, raising the vibe just slightly above the darkness of the deepest underground

long awaited madga album, a great journey from minimal techno to disco and electro ...

joel boychuk, aka hobo, with a killer 12 inch, bassheavy techno monster, think flat beat (mr oizo) transformed into 2010. bang.

magda spielt bereits seit vielen jahren in der ersten liga des techno-dj-jetsets. mit she s a dancing machine hatte sie vor sechs jahren die welt mit ihrer ersten mix-cd beeindruckt, bestehend aus 72 tracks. from the fallen page ist das erste studioalbum der wahl-berlinerin. es ist eine hommage an ihre jahre in detroit. 1974 in polen geboren, zog sie als kind in die usa. in detroit startete sie 1996 ihre dj-karriere. dort traf sie auf den minus-macher richie hawtin, dem sie schließlich nach berlin folgte. mit from the fallen page ist ihr ein bilderreiches und packendes techno-album gelungen, das den hörer auf eine reise mitnimmt - vom schroffen ins anmutige, von finsteren doom-sounds bis hin zu freundlichen tagträumereien und fragiler melancholie

repress!! ambivalence is a funny thing. the simultaneous existence of two opposed and conflicting attitudes can cause much confusion and unease. fortunately, it has served to do nothing but help kevin mchugh in his quest to achieve impeccable music productions and attract a global audience eager to hear his unique take on confounding dance floor tracks

plastikman ist das alter ego von richie hawtin - ein dj und produzent, der wie kaum ein anderer auf der welt der elektronischen musik verehrt wird. sein legendäres techno-label plus 8 gründete hawtin im jahr 1990. drei jahre später erfand er sein alter ego plastikman. unter diesem namen veröffentlichte der heute in berlin lebende kanadier zwischen 1993 und 2003 sechs alben. vom rohen und hypnotischen detroit-techno ausgehend schälte sich ein ganz eigener minimalistisch-dubbiger acid-sound heraus. dieses jahr kehrt richie hawtin mit plastikman auf die bühnen zurück. kompilation ist der lange überfällige überblick über die plastikman-jahre. unter den 10 tracks sind bahnbrechende klassiker wie helikopter oder marbles.
