{"product_id":"musik-30th-anniversary-edition","title":"Musik (30th Anniversary Edition)","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn celebration of its 30th anniversary, \u003cstrong\u003ePlastikman\u003c\/strong\u003e, aka \u003cstrong\u003eRichie Hawtin\u003c\/strong\u003e, has remastered his groundbreaking second album, \u003cem\u003eMusik\u003c\/em\u003e, from the original tapes for a new limited bio-vinyl edition. The record was first released in November 1994 through NovaMute and Plus 8, following the debut Plastikman album, \u003cem\u003eSheet One\u003c\/em\u003e (1993).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA masterclass in minimal techno, \u003cem\u003eMusik\u003c\/em\u003e 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBefore the full album hit the shelves, the track \"\u003cem\u003ePlastique\u003c\/em\u003e\" (which was later described by Q as \"...the flipside to Hawtin’s early singles, all ticking percussion, feline acid tweaks, and cushioned sub-bass\") set the stage for a more dance floor-friendly album, albeit one with an unsettling and sinister side.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe album, described by The Guardian as “music as you've never heard it before” and by The Wire, who made it one of their Albums of the Year, as “... a masterpiece”, defined a moment in techno that still echoes today.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eNow, 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 dance floor – has lost none of its potency in the intervening years. Available on limited edition double bio-vinyl from Mute and NovaMute.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"NovaMute","offers":[{"title":"2LP - Black","offer_id":50542118863179,"sku":"2226672","price":34.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/Plastikman_Musik_30th_Anniversary_9118f299_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1728295866","url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/de\/products\/musik-30th-anniversary-edition","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
