Richie Hawtin DE9 is my all time favorite. I used to be super into electronic music a long time ago. Now not so much, but this one I remember still and listen to it even now from time to time.

It's minimalist techno btw

"After recording, sampling, cutting and splicing over 100 tracks down into their most basic components, I ended up with a collection of over 300 loops, ranging in length from 1 note to 4 bars. I then started to recreate and reinterpret each track, putting the pieces back together as if an audio jigsaw puzzle." With such a robust conceptual process, perhaps the most surprising aspect of Richie Hawtin's DE9 "piece" was how coherent, and moreover, musical it sounded. The resulting 31 "ID points" charted everything that was good and great in post-millennium skeletal techno, and the considerable production prowess of the man himself. DE9's molecular methodology went on to inspire countless mixes throughout the ensuing decade, but was perhaps most important for directly challenging perceptions of what it meant to be a DJ.
