The package inaugurates with Oslo’s Prins Thomas editing Tromsø legend Mental Overdrive ‘Hellbent’ for a decadent cut featuring sinister drones and dusky atmospherics. Urhaug, also known under his house alias Tobii, demonstrates tantalising melodies and a chugging bassline in ‘7.3’ before PLOINK veteran Nordenstam takes things into a rhythmic direction in ‘Haustfargar’ using shuffling percussion, bouncy toms and spectral synths. Christian Tilt, another core PLOINK member, then drops the mesmerising ‘Ord’ boasting industrial stabs, a throbbing low-end and cosmic effects. Tying it all together, fresh Bergen talent Hutmacher concludes the release with a cacophony of grooves, samples and echoes in an arcane number named ‘Dobbelgänger’.
“We started out as a techno club concept in rock/art/student venues in April 1996 following years of promoting parties in warehouses, old factories, as well as outside in the woods, mountains and fjord-islands around Bergen,” explains Thomas Urv.
“Since then PLOINK has presented a long list of international artists to clubnights around Norway to share the stage with upcoming local talent.”
“In spring 2014 we evolved into a label and have released nine EPs to date, all with Norwegian techno producers. Our main goal, apart from having fun, is to push Norwegian techno talent abroad.”[info from po]
