The wild third mix in our Lost & Found: Plug Research DATs series is here, surfacing a wide range of obscure electronic sounds found in the Plug Research label’s storage bin. Vol. 3 widely expands the aesthetic boundaries of the series, i.e., it’s the most bananas of the bunch.
More info on the artists and stories behind these tapes to come! To finish out, we’ll share a couple other whole DATs in the same manner followed by some insight from the label’s founder Allen Avanessian.
