https://definitive.lnk.to/DEFCLAS032 Definitive Recordings reissues Plastikman's classic Acid House Mix of his own 'Do Da Doo' feat. Marshall Jefferson. Evergreen stars Jamie Jones and DJ Minx serve up their own new remixes. First released in 1993, and now re-recorded with new vocals by Marshall Jefferson, techno mainstay Richie Hawtin dropped this tune under his Robotman alias. It became an instant underground crossover classic and a cornerstone of the Definitive label's early catalogue, capturing Hawtin at a time of great innovation. It was also a significant factor in merging the house and techno worlds together, with the track adopted by leading DJs from both genres. Upon its initial release, the credits attributed the track to a 'Richard Michaels'. Hawtin’s father, Mick Hawtin, was also used in the campaign image across press and merchandise. Mick Hawtin worked as a robot technician in the General Motors car factory and inspired the track. Jamie Jones steps up first and is one of the most notable DJs and producers in the scene. His Hot Creations label and Paradise party are where he continues to explore the intersection of house and techno. This remix features his signature low-end bounce and futuristic tech house sound, complete with stark, laser-like synth lines and funky drum patterns. It's a warm sound designed to energise the club. Next is Motor City guardian DJ Minx, who heads up the DJ collective 'Women on Wax' and has been an ambassador for Detroit house and techno around the world since the 90s. She dropped the underground minimal hit 'A Walk in the Park' on Hawtin's Minus label in 2004 and now comes full circle with this remix. She leans into deeper, more swung drums and shows knowing restraint by building freaky vocal fragments and lush chords that keep dancers locked in the groove. Last but not least is the original Plastikman Acid House Mix, spanning nearly 12 minutes of deep, hypnotic pressure. Classic 909 drums and a signature 303 bassline intertwine throughout. The acid line changes shape and texture from smooth to more prickly, and the percussion keeps dancers locked in for what is a truly mind-melting trip. Robotman feat. Marshall Jefferson's 'Do Da Doo' comes on Definitive Recordings on 21st August 2026. www.definitiverecordings.com
