Dex FX is a true classic... definitely get yourself a copy of that badboy.

Also Consumed is one of the most evil albums I've ever heard, not normally into the minimal stuff but that worked for me...

...oh, and minus orange is a personal favourite.

[theledge]

his mix cd's usually go above and beyond (conceptually) what most people put into a mix cd.

Exactly what i'd say about Closer to the Edit - even if you don't like the tracks then it's worth a listen for the quality of ideas, production, mixing...in general everything is a cut above 99% of other mix cds :)

MixMag Live! mix cd from '94 or '95.

yes and yes.

re closer, it's historically relevant to mention that he came up with the hundreds of tiny loops idea in a pre-ableton world.

sheet one. musik. consumed. artifakts. all essential and deserving of good sound systems in dark rooms.

btw, you can listen to all the plastikman stuff @ plastikman.com

DE9:Transitions is quality, although mainly for home listening purposes imo

[Trip Head]

Cheers for all the responses! Will get on with checking it all out

[BastardoElectrico]

"Oh yeah - Yello" he absolutely KILLS it :lol:

Thats his own track Minus Yellow takes the bassline and chica-chicaw bits from yello-oh yeah
and yes it is an absolute killer ;) ;) ;)

[BastardoElectrico]

In reference to mix cd's: I am surprised no one mentioned the MixMag Live! mix cd from '94 or '95. There are some **** classics on that CD and anybody into acid house should check it out. t.

probably one of the best mix albums ever imo at the time it got me into the darker side of electronic music some timeless stuff on there

Plastikman - Mix Mag Live

That was by far a cd that has been in my rotation the longest. thrown out a window, had wax spilled on it, drink coster from a shite roomie...and still bangs...by far IMHO the best one he has done.

everything in minus orange is from the original Yello track. all he did was rearrange it.

As far as i know Minus Orange samples the bassline from Nitzer Ebb while Minus Yellow is a blatant rip of Yello

[g]

nope.

[thetonewrecka]

Hey..He sampled my shirt!


and he sampled this graphic from ACME Skateboards in 1990/1991 for his "Plasticman gremlin" he's become known for!

[fac]

what a bastard. BURN HIM!!!

[SlavikSvensk]

As for albums: Sheet One is a good place to start, and work your way up. :)

still the best thing he's ever done

[Antinoise]

I love the B side of Minus Orange - Its like Hard Minimal. Simple yet intense.

[stebrown]

substance abuse is 1 hell of tune. Is it available anywhere on vinyl?

I think yellow & orange both just use parts from 'oh yeah', it's just that on yellow he used a longer bassloop from the original so it's more instantly recognisable.

I could be totally wrong though and they're both class releases so it doesn't really matter...

[Antinoise]

there is actually an interview with Hawtin on the current Native Instruments site. Not a bad read.
