It’s hard to believe that Plonk is almost a decade old. Famously, it featured on Marcel Dettmann’s seminal Berghain mix CD back in 2008, a selection that was instrumental in introducing the Berlin club’s sound to a global audience. And yet this release does not neatly dovetail with the soundtrack one would immediately associate with the world’s best-known techno club. Sure, it’s linear and dense, but Redshape’s sparse arrangement is informed by the spacious dub of Basic Channel / Chain Reaction rather than harder iterations of techno. That said, the percussion is relentless in an understated manner and the eerie undercurrents do call to mind the many activities carried out in the club’s nooks and crannies. More than anything though, the fact that it still sounds fresh after ten years says a lot about both Redshape and Dettmann’s creative visions.
