Richie Hawtin - Plastikman - ’Sheet One’ - 30th Anniversary Edition

Plastikman - ’Sheet One’ - 30th Anniversary Edition It’s quite hard to explain or understand the implications of how much ’Sheet One’ affected my life. At that early point in my career I had already opened Plus 8 Records with John Acquaviva, released a number of my own singles like .’s ’F.U.’ & ’Substance Abuse’, both which created a significant impact on dance-floors around the world. However, Plastikman was destined to be the project that broke me out of my comfortable underground nerdy-persona and reduce my sound and aesthetics to only what mattered, acid & percussion. The sound was more hypnotic and repetitive than my Chicago & Detroit influences and the first album ’Sheet One’ also made great use of my visual and cheeky marketing ideas with its logo and acid-blotter sheet album cover. The album was mostly recorded in a 48 hour window in the basement of my parents house as I experimented with uniting the Roland TB303 and TR606 for my first time. A basic and very hands on approach, I created, played and recorded everything live in one-take and stitched the best ideas together shortly afterwards. I had stepped into the studio those days in an attempt to go deep & cerebral, mostly how my mind was resonating between those early Detroit rave weekends. I think part of the success of the album was that it perfectly and honestly, even innocently, captured the mood & Intension of a young nerdy producer who was extremely motivated and ready for the world to take notice.
