This is the record, everybody‘s talking about at the moment: »PLASTIK«, made by Simon Baker from Leeds in the UK, a city where Gang Of Four, Kaiser Chiefs and Malcolm McDowell hail from. Only available as a strictly limited 500 clear vinyl copy, it now gets an official release on Playhouse. But who is this guy? Simon has been playing records for over 15 years, professionally since 2001. His passion is for the finest underground, deep electronic house and techno music, represented by the releases on his superb INFANT RECORD label, which is run in conjunction with Ralph Lawson’s 2020 VISION label and the first release on Infant debuted Simon‘s solo sound. He scored his first hit in 2004 released under his »Liptrick« alias (with Alex Grzybowski), which found its way into the bags, and compilations of Tiefschwarz, Damian Lazarus, Groove Armada and Dan Ghenacia amongst others, and was signed to 2020 Vision. But now back to the track: Starting off with a menacing full-bodied chord to announce its arrival it quickly weaves a heavily »groove quantized« hypnotic keyboard line around itself. When you talk about tracks »building«, this one has written the book! Every peak is met with a brief moment of reprise until it gives it to you again. If that wasn‘t enough, halfway through, »PLASTIK« delivers an unexpected twist to the tale with an organ break reminiscent of Jaydee‘s »Plastic Dreams« (is that the inspiration for the name?). Simply stunning! Already being played with lots of great feedback by Richie Hawtin, Ewan Pearson (»biggest tune in his box«), Sven Vaeth, Troy Pierce, Michael Mayer, Carl Craig, Ralph Lawson, Damian Lazarus, Dinky, Sebo K, John Digweed, Steve Lawler and many more, this will be one of the summer house anthems 2007! Don‘t sleep on this one! Get it now!
