The Insiders Guide to Hard Wax
“A big part of who I am and where I am is carried by Hard Wax. Beside Berghain it was my school and is still my teacher.” - Marcel Dettmann
“Hard Wax is in a way, an institution for many people - for its role of ‘style-forming’ and ‘trend-setting’.” - Milton Bradley
“Hard Wax was not only my perfect student job but an important source for quality music. I consider Torsten and Sascha to be the earliest supporters of Ancient Methods and the most enjoyable colloquists about music.” - Ancient Methods

Awesome DJ mix from Derek Plaslaiko… a sort of tribute mix to Richie Hawtin
——
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!

Aesthetic Delirium: For Slowing Down
Reading this NYT’ piece ‘The Busy Trap’ striking a nerve.
sv4:
One of the pieces that stuck with me this year was by the electronic musician Fort Romeau, about the idea of Slow Listening. It’s a love letter to vinyl, but can be read to include any form of uninterrupted listening (running, solo driving, sitting on a plane).
The Slow Web, a piece by…
living legend.
