Review by Mateusz R

History EP by Platzdasch: A Deep House Time Capsule from 1999 Alright, buckle up, because we’re diving into History EP by Platzdasch—a gem of German electronic music that slipped out in 1999 and still feels like it’s whispering secrets from another dimension. Released under the Blaou label (yes, it's as cool as it sounds), this little EP is a masterclass in deep house vibes with just enough edge to make you wanna groove while pondering life’s mysteries. First off, let’s talk about “Just Do It.” No, not the Nike slogan—this track slaps way harder than motivational posters. It opens with this hypnotic bassline that feels like someone massaging your brain with velvet gloves. Then BAM! The beat drops, and suddenly you're transported to some underground Berlin club where everyone’s wearing leather jackets and sipping cheap beer but somehow looking impossibly cool. What makes “Just Do It” unforgettable? It’s got this raw energy mixed with sleek production finesse courtesy of David Martin Platzdasch, who clearly knew how to press all the right buttons (pun intended). You won’t forget this one anytime soon; trust me, it sticks to your soul like gum on a hot summer sidewalk. Then there’s “History,” which… well, lives up to its name. This tune isn’t trying too hard—it just flows effortlessly, layering moody synths over a steady kick drum heartbeat. There’s something nostalgic yet futuristic about it, like flipping through old Polaroids while dreaming of flying cars. It’s introspective without being boring, emotional without being cheesy. If deep house had an anthem for staring out rain-speckled windows at 3 AM, this would be it. Oh, and props to Mastered By Arc-En-Ciel and Jürgen Driessen for making sure everything sounds crisp as fresh linen. Also, shoutout to www.die-gestalten.de for the artwork—they nailed that minimalist aesthetic that screams “I’m mysterious but also very organized.” So here’s the thing: History EP might have come out over two decades ago, but it doesn’t feel dusty or dated. In fact, listening to it now feels kinda like finding a mixtape in your attic and realizing it’s better than most playlists you’ve streamed recently. Maybe that’s why Platzdasch decided to call it History—not because it belongs in the past, but because it reminds us good music never really gets old. Unexpected thought: If aliens ever invade Earth, I hope they land during a Platzdasch set. They’d probably boogie so hard they’d forget all about conquering humanity. Now THAT’S universal appeal.

Good ol' days, these were. Greg playing on Friendly on a Saturday night (he was playing on his own the night I recorded him playing this one), heading into town for a few drinks (Lebowskis I'd say), on to Henry's, and picking this up in the Vinyl Room a couple of weeks later. Magic. Just magic.
