derek plaslaiko: exile on sesame strasse

The world knows Derek Plaslaiko primarily as a DJ (he caught the attention of Carl Craig through his late-'90s residency at legendary Detroit club Motor); but as it turns out, he's pretty handy with gear, too. On "Cat Call," insistent synthesizer squelches give way to manic bleeps and steadily developing percussion until a ghastly voice intones a dancefloor mantra. Halfway through "In The Clouds," its drum break gives way to a hazy, murky interlude, before finishing off with machine gun snares for maximum dancefloor intensity. Mastered by Neel at EnissLab. Cut at Manmade Mastering. Pressed at Quality Record Pressings.
