"Born In 1990 by Richie Hawtin and John Acquaviva, PIus 8 Records continues to move forward in 'Phase II' of the label. Known for pushing electronic music forward, Plus 8 debuted artists such as Speedy J, Kenny Larkln, Daniel Bell, Ken Ishii and Plastikman. With the original catalog (Phase I) having been out of print since 1997, we are proud to announce the re-release of a select few titles, newly remastered from the original tapes along with new label designs." "Two classic techno gems are back in circulation from Rotterdam's Jochem Paap, who continues to record and push the limits today still as Speedy J. 4 mixes total. Originally released by Plus 8 in 1991."

"Richie Hawtin returns from the studio just in time to usher in the cold months with a remake of the underground techno slammer, 'Schneesturm' from Berlin's Taksi Records. 'Schneesturm' (snowstorm in English) is a stronghold of a grinding bassline, fierce pounding beats and sinister rhythms that does more than just 'visit' the dancefloor -- it invades it! A product of Richie's (now year-long) use of the Final Scratch digital-vinyl system, his DE9 remix was born from playing out the original track in his sets, layering and effecting it with his DEP (decks, efx & 909) set-up. By stretching the breakdown and adding effects, this remix is insight to now he can tease a dancefloor with certain special tracks that can extend the night into the morning."

"Releasing his first projects through Plus 8 and Probe in the early 1990s, Rotterdam's Jochem Paap has built an internationally loyal following with records under his Speedy J moniker. As his records and live sets began to grab attention in the growing techno culture circa 1990-1, Paap released 'Pullover'. The track's infectious simple melody was heard throughout the world, turning heads with its upfront tuning and raw use of just a few drum machines. It was a premonition to the rise of hardcore techno and beyond. For the first time ever, this 'original demo mix' is now being released by Plus 8, on a special edition one-sided single, from the label that delivered the original nearly a decade ago."
