For nearly two decades, PLOINK has promoted techno nights around Norway, presenting local talent as well as some of the biggest acts from around the world.

We just really like techno.

Our definition of the genre is fairly wide though, constantly evolving, which we have attempted to reflect in this our first release, compiling four very different tracks by local producers from our hometown of Bergen.

Setting up a label branch has for years been a burried, old plan. To us, techno parties, no matter how unique and brilliantly planned, have such a short lifespan, and as such it feels good to finally start releasing something that can get a life of its own, perhaps grow into something entirely different.

We’ll find out where it leads us.. Meanwhile, meet the players:

Christian Tilt
Christian is one of the major forces in the Bergen underground since the 90s, djing, promoting parties and producing delicious treats.
Until now he has concentrated on his numerous legendary live sets, postponing releases.
No longer. His heavyweight LUDDRETTE marks the beginning of a vast arsenal of tracks to be spread out!

Thomas Urv
PLOINK’s founder, resident dj and co-labelbossss.
Thomas has mainly been cutting & scratching ever since he bought his decks at 14 in 1990. Still deeply dedicated to the touch of vinyl, he has finally found his way into the studio. He serves a dish of acidic techno funk, HUTIHEITEN.

Vakum
Oldschool DAT tapes are mysteriously delivered at our door by different kids. And we don’t mean kids like 16-18year olds, but actual small children. They also cary disturbing dolls.
We like the tracks though. Like this synthdriven VIEW TO A THOUSAND CROWS.
Look out for PL002NK, a three track 12” due in october, from the male or female talent that is Vakum, a solo act, band or nudist collective.

Nordenstam
One of those rare sound equipment and mastering geeks who has built and fingered strange hardware since before he could spell. He learnt how to spell at a very young age.
Nordenstam tracks have previously appeared on creamy labels such as Sextags, Vinyl on Wania, WTC as well as numerous compilations and digital releases under different aliases. ACID OVER DANMARKSPLASS pays homage to the mighty Danmarksplass and what lies within.
