Crates is a vinyl listening party. Every Thursday at 10 p.m., we’ll unwrap new releases and experience old favorites, played loud over Berlin’s d&b PA. For those seeking beauty and camaraderie.
This week's selection is E2-E4 (1984) by German musician Manuel Göttsching. Recorded in a single take using a sequencer and later named one of the best albums of the 1980s by Pitchfork and The Guardian, it's easy to hear why this record has endured — and why it remains one of the most influential recordings in the evolution of house and techno.
