To celebrate a century of releases, Plus 8 has put together an epic compilation that spans its influential 20-year history. A lot of water has passed under the bridge since Richie Hawtin and John Acquaviva founded the imprint in Windsor back in 1990 - production and performance techniques have altered dramatically, personnel and artists have come and gone, there’s even been a change of continent - but like some eternal river of sound the output has reassuringly remained the same. What better way to demonstrate this dynamic flow, than by inviting a host of today’s leading lights to reinterpret and remix classic moments from the original Plus 8 catalogue that have had a profound influence on their own music. The result reads like a who’s who of techno with Hawtin (in one form or another) being joined by Speedy J, Marcel Dettmann, Ken Ishii, Layo and Bushwacka!, Tiefschwarz, Alex Under and Mark Broom to name but a few…plus a host of existing Minus and Plus 8 artists.
