Review by Josh Suntharasivam

Variation and ambition are two things very much lacking throughout EX»

Techno figurehead Richie Hawtin releases his first album under his much-adored Plastikman guise since 2003. If you need a reminder, Plastikman was responsible for two of the definitive 1990s minimal techno records in the shape of 1993′s 'Sheet One' and 1994′s 'Musik', but has been on the back burner as a recording project since 2010′s 'Slinky' 12″. 'Ex' was recorded live at the Guggenheim Museum in New York last year at the invitation of of Belgian fashion designer Raf Simons. Performed around a specially constructed LED obelisk, the gig saw the M_nus boss draw from a selection of new material created for the one-off event.
