Previously appearing on PLOINK with his Spellemannsprisen (Norwegian Grammy) winning ‘Twelve’ album in 2017, +plattform returns to the imprint with a magnificent new LP ‘18-192’, another dense journey through his signature brand of esoteric techno.

Stretched generously across four sides of vinyl, each track brings with it a unique identity while remaining rooted in the wider vision of the album as a whole, with masterful use of space, distinctive sound sources, and oddball sensibilities evident on all tracks. From the metallic groans of opener ‘Huck’ through to the submerged rumbling of closing track ‘ngels’, ‘18-192’ shows +plattform at his most accomplished.

Being stuck in a rut after ‘Twelve’ and being discontent with the general direction in techno, I found freedom in broadening my sound and letting time do its thing whilst continuing to look towards the future and its music. ‘18-192’ is the culmination of time, changes and travelling with my closest ones. Love and rhythm, it’s the same thing.
