Broadcasting timeless, route one techno from the heart of Berlin since 1996, Cabinet Records has come to epitomise the rough underground sound of a city like few others. Now, with this excellent compilation package, Plus 8 has seen fit to set this essential contribution to electronic dance music in stone. Indeed, over the last decade the relationship between the labels has come full circle, making the release of this retrospective package all the more timely. Back in the days, the Plus 8 affiliated IntelliNET Distribution pressed and distributed the very first Cabinet releases to the world. 10 years later, Richie Hawtin’s relentless search for the perfect beat still leads him back to the rare Cabinet archive for inspiration, quality and pure expression of the form.
