In the history of techno and electronic music, some artists are just legendary and early Richie Hawtin acid house tracks from the 90s are as real as it comes - just check out his Sheet One album from 1993. With Richie Hawtin rumored to be bringing back his Plastikman alias, check out this classic performance from back in 2000.
With the recent resurgence in interest in dub techno, it seems like a fitting time to revisit the works of the godfathers of the genre. Despite legions of imitators, Basic Channel remain the undisputed masters of this subgenre, and certainly one of the most influential techno groups of all time. Nat Alexander offers up this DJ mix featuring several classic Basic Channel-affiliated tracks, including a rare collaboration with Juan Atkins as Model 500. He also throws in several tracks from newer artists that owe a clear debt to the group, such as Pole and Redshape.
