Nothing Much & Something More
Minus
TECHNO
MINUS is RICHIE HAWTIN’s (aka PLASTIK MAN) label – running since 1998 and now based in Berlin. Widely regarded as a Godfather of Techno, Canadian Richie Hawtin has been a regular visitor to our shores for 15 years or more. Minus has grown into a megaphone for minimal techno and everything beyond. Post-everything electro, techno, acid and house, the sound has blended its own unique vintage by influences from contemporary art, travels, relationships and the ever-changing environment of the global party.
From its Minimalist aesthetic, increasing output and steady impact on electronic music since 1998, a blueprint has been developing at Minus. ‘Nothing Much’ (complied by Richie Hawtin and CLARK WARNER) takes a snapshot of rock solid Minus memories that are more nouveau than retro, challenging any notion that the sound has remained the same.
While not representing the complete history here on disc, the compilation addresses a deeper note with a bonus disc ‘Something More’ showcasing Berlin’s TROY PIERCE as he weaves a web of stolen moments from the catalog. Connecting the storytelling pop behind HEARTTHROB’s ‘Baby Kate’ and MATHEW JONSON’s ‘Decompression’ to the funk flex of GAISER’s ‘Egress’ or MARC HOULE’s composed anthem ‘Bay of Figs’, its time to take a bow.
