Twelve by +plattform
Norwegian techno producer +plattform returns to PLOINK with his first full length album this June.
Having cemented itself as one of Norway’s leading Techno event series for over 20 years, PLOINK launched as a label in 2014 and has since hosted releases by Scandinavian talents such as Prins Thomas,
Skatebård, Christian Tilt, Kahuun, Nordenstam and Dortmund.
However, PLOINK’s 2017 is shaping up to be its most pivotal year as a label, with label boss Thomas Urv kick-starting proceedings with his ‘O Sweet Exorcism’ album before Mental Overdrive - the Godfather of
Norwegian techno – followed up with a live jam themed album titled ‘Hardware’. Alongside PLOINK, +plattform has released innovative techno on labels such as Krill Music and his own label Gråtone.
Twelve was released on three individual 12” vinyl named One, Two and Three, printed in neon green and black.
.
From start to finish ‘Twelve’ is a twisted journey through esoteric techno and exemplary of +plattform’s distinct musical aesthetic. Tracks like "Kerala", "Wrak" and "Nylon" exhibit deep atmospheres as tantalizing synths work their magic. "Brok", "Reck" and "Ombre2 are more driving by nature, featuring powerful percussion and sinister effects. Other tracks, such as "Dillan", are mesmerizing cacophonies of raw
elements combined to devastating effect, whereas "Morne" incorporates sweeping pads and syncopated drums for spellbinding results.
In 2017 +plattform won the Spellemannprisen (the Norwegian Grammy) for the album Twelve.
