The Canadian artist gives us a glimpse of his new album as Plastikman, the first in 10 years, which will be digitally released on 10 June, just two days before its only performance worldwide.

"EX" is the eagerly anticipated new album from Plastikman - the project with which Richie Hawtin gained worldwide recognition in the 1990s. The album was recorded live at the Guggenheim Museum in New York and will be presented live and exclusively at Sónar by Day with the show "Objekt" on Thursday 12 June. The date at Sónar will be Plastikman's only live show in the entire year 2014.

The Plastikman show (which extends the closing time at Sónar on Thursday 12 until 11 pm) arrives in Barcelona with a special adaptation for SonarVillage, with a spectacular specially constructed LED obelisk. On the next day, Friday 13 June, Hawtin will be performing at Sónar once again - this time with one of his high-precision technological sets at SonarClub (Sónar by Night).

"EX" will be released digitally on 10 June and in physical format (vinyl, CD and a limited edition for SubPac, a new portable bass system) on 14 July, on MINUS / Mute. Mute is the label run by Daniel Miller, who will be responsiresponsible for the set that provides a prelude to Plastikman's performance at Sónar by Day on Thursday."EX" includes seven unreleased tracks: EXposed, EXtend, EXpand, EXtrude, EXplore, EXpire and EXhale.
