A sound sweetened by acid techno and crunched up, indiscernible samples, former Gigolo contributors Plastique De Reve moved over to Tiga's Turbo label before settling in at Kitty Yo to record their first EP. Nasty and unforgiving, the basslines alone are enough to have you reaching for the Pepcid.
plastique de reve is a swiss dj and producer who is now based in berlin. after smashing the electro scene to bits with his two releases on gigolo in 2001 and 2002, plastique went deeper underground with wicked releases on zuerichs 7b label and tigas turbo recordings in montreal, and a string of remixes and productions for different artists in switzerland, belgium, france, canada and the us. his electro-breaks, ebm and acid house roots as an early 'raver' in the 80s and 90s fuel a sound that is always fresh, eclectic and uniquely hybrid. now plastique de reve sets out to continue breaking new musical frontiers, while retaining his own distinctive 'plastic' sound. his new ep on kitty-yo features 5 very different tracks of 'multispeed varistyle', between electro-breaks and baile funk, uk bass, acid house and techno, with heavy basslines and beatbox programming, funky hooks and catchy vocal cut-ups. each track tells its own story, taking the listener on a round-the-world trip, from rio to berlin via chicago, montreal and london
