Post Description

Naar ik begreep was er animo op ftd voor oude house uit de 90's. Ik draag graag mijn steentje bij d.m.v. deze spot.
Voor de liefhebbers dit keer een hele meuk +8 Records Limited. Complete 12"es en Lp/CD's Van PLUS8001 t/m PLUS8095. 
4.34GB aan mp3's netjes in mapjes op cat.nr gesorteerd. Kwaliteit van de mp3's varieert, maar alles is an sich zeer goed te 
doen en met zo'n hoeveelheid kan je nu eenmaal niet alles hebben ;)


Berichtjes zijn welkom, weet ik iig dat er waardering voor de moeite is.

Label info:

Plus 8 (also spelled as Plus8, without the space) is a Canadian techno record label, based in Windsor, Ontario and 
founded in May 1990 by DJs Richie Hawtin and John Acquaviva. Initial releases were by the pair themselves and their 
friends using aliases such as States of Mind and Cybersonik, along with other Detroit-based musicians such as 
Kenny Larkin. Plus 8 was, along with Underground Resistance and Planet E, one of the vanguards of Detroit Techno's 
'Second Wave', capitalising on the vacuum left by labels such as KMS, Metroplex and Transmat at the start of the 1990s. 

Plus 8's initial releases were a series of increasingly faster industrial hardcore recordings. The label began to retreat 
from hard and fast tempo after the release of Circuit Breaker's "Overkill/Frenz-E" and Cybersonik"s "Thrash" in 1992. 
Hawtin and Aquaviva became disenchanted with the drug fueled dynamic and rave culture that was driving hardcore techno. 
The label's total departure from hardcore came in 1992 when Hawtin and Aquaviva found themselves in a club in Rotterdam, 
Holland. The club DJ was playing one of Plus 8's records, a 150bpm version of Cybersonik's "Thrash" and the crowd began to 
chant along to the song. It soon became apparent that the chant was an anti-semitic football chant. The pair decided to 
change musical direction by slowing down the tempo and bringing funk and soul back into their music. 

Important releases include early 12 inch singles from Speedy J, and Richie Hawtin's many pseudonyms including F.U.S.E. and 
Plastikman. The label was suspended in 1997 as Acquaviva concentrated on DJing and Hawtin on his new label, M nus, but 
releases (and re-releases of early material often licensed to other labels) have appeared from time to time, notably 2000's 
Plus 8 Classics triple 12 inch vinyl and CD retrospective.
