Minus

Hi, my name is Thomas. I am Richie Hawtins assistant. Besides my love for electronic music, i have another passion which i would like to share with you through my podcast - playing the piano. I hope that the pieces i chose will inspire you to find out more about each artist and to discover a whole universe of unbelievable classical and modern music. Enjoy!

Hi folks… As winter draws near and the gloomy skies approach here in Portland, I made this mix with the season in mind. From the hypnotic vibe of Prurient and Rrose, to the pounding stomp of Raiz, and the 909 driven goth-punk of Røsenkøpf, there is plenty of post Halloween darkness to go around. Fear not though, there are a few optimistic moments peaking through those clouds. Ian O'Donovan's superb remix of "Goodlife", Jon Gurd and Joel Alter bring the Detroit sound to the table to funk things up. Anyways, hope you enjoy the mix and thanks so much for listening! Tracklist: 01 Deafheaven "Please Remember" Deathwish 02 Prurient "You Show Great Spirit" Blackest Ever Black 03 G. Gigli & Obtane "Industrial Assaults (Rrose remix)" 04 Pots Of Gold "Rainbows" Minus 05 Patrick Skoog "Saturnian Acid" Third Ear 06 Raiz "Cored1" VRV 07 Samuel L Session "Air Blast" KlapKlap 08 Antonio Valente "Mandrake" Sino 09 Cabaret Voltaire "Just Fascination (Kirk rmx)" Virgin 10 Jon Gurd "Sugar Coated Beak" DETSYNC 11 Sone "Black Island (Milkplant remix)" From 0-1 12 Bryan Zentz "Empraxa" Minus 13 Gforty "Calypso Breakdown" Bulletdodge 14 PVS "Arsenal" M Rec LTD 15 Inner City "Good Life (Ian O'Donovan remix) KMS 16 Joel Alter "Sweatbox" We Are 17 Monomood "Vault (Mike Dehnert remix)" Animal 18 P.E.A.R.L.

In this podcast I share a small part of the electronic music which inspired and motivated me to become the musician I am now, and the producer I would still like to be. From 'mainstream' to 'experimental,' I hope you enjoy this mix of my personal Min and Max's.

To help kick off my debut EP with Minus I am proud to present a glimpse into my past that got me to where I am today. From early dub and reggae to Kraftwerk to Daft Punk or hidden gems from the disco era it all continues to inspire me in making my own unique sounds. It's an immense honour to put this together as this series has also helped in discovering lots of great timeless music. I hope you enjoy! -Matte Blakk

With this mix I want to express my immense gratitude to Rich, Plus8, and Minus for all the inspiration and support that has helped me to grow and learn over so many years. With love, a mix from the heart. I hope you enjoy! I recorded this mix at the Minus headquarters in Berlin. Special thanks to Chris for providing me with his great company. Rebekah.

To celebrate the release of the latest MinMax compilation this month, I have devised a mix of tunes that embody both the minimal and maximal idea with an ear towards the summer ahead. From low-fi funk, through simmering melodic house onto more freaky techno offerings these are the sounds catching my ear and defining my dj sets lately. I hope you enjoy them as much as me! Jesse.

In this podcast I featured tracks that were of influence on my sound and career. All of these tracks somehow led me to where I'm currently at as an artist. They inspired me and let me discover new sounds and genre's, allowing me to eventually move closer to Minus. I hope you will enjoy them as much as I did again when putting together this podcast!

Hello, my name is Derek. The path that led me to working for Rich stems back to the mid-nineties from simply listening and dancing to his sets. Around 1997, we became closer from when I worked at Record Time and would sell him records. In 2002, I was brought on to be his travelling technical assistant and from then I worked on other projects for him in the years that followed. In 2010, I was brought to Berlin to work compiling content for richiehawtin.com. For my Minus Connections podcast, I decided to do a one-take all vinyl mix using only records that I associate with Rich's sets over the years. Some are obvious classics, while others maybe not so much. However, ALL of these selected tracks hold a very sweet spot in my heart, and provide countless memories of Richie playing them. I hope you enjoy listening as much as I enjoyed making it. Thanks!

I started working with Richie Hawtin in 2010 when, along with Gareth Williams and Etienne Noreau-Hébert, we created software for the Plastikman Live tour and founded our software company Liine. This podcast is a musical self-portrait, the soundtrack of a path that has led me to Berlin and a life of eletronic music and technology. From growing up and raving in Trois-Rivières, to studying classical and electroacoustic music in Montreal, to moving to Berlin in 2008, here are some of the records that inspired me along the way.

This is one of my favourite sets of the year, I hope you enjoy it. Hobo. * recorded @ Magazzini Generali, Milan (12/07/2012)

My favourite music from my favourite artists in my favourite places at my favourite moments with my favourite people. This is my podcast. Enjoy! PS. Beatmatching is for pussies.

Minus is turning 15. To mark the occasion, I’ve decided to go through the entire catalog and select one track for every year, mixing all 15 in chronological order. I had a lot of fun doing this podcast, even if it was damn hard to compile the whole thing with such specifications. Hope you’ll like it and that it can be an opportunity to (re)discover some forgotten tunes. Chris.
