In the ever-evolving realm of electronic music, Plasmatique emerges as a beacon of innovation and artistry. The brainchild of Slovak producer Zuzana Retkesova, Plasmatique’s latest release, “Space and Time”, is a testament to her ability to craft immersive and atmospheric soundscapes that captivate listeners worldwide.
From Engineering to Epic Soundscapes Zuzana Retkesova, known professionally as Plasmatique, has spent the last seven years working as an engineer and producer in her own music production company. Her journey into music production has been marked by a relentless pursuit of a sound that is both fascinating and exciting. Zuzana’s love for arpeggiated baselines and cinematic soundscapes defines her unique style, which unfolds slowly, leading listeners down a path filled with mystery and intensity.
Influences and Inspirations Plasmatique’s sound is heavily influenced by renowned producers such as Stephan Bodzin, ARTBAT, Adriatique, and Thomas Helmich. These influences are evident in her progressive melodic techno tracks, which have taken her to prestigious events like Archetype and contributed to releases on the legendary HARTHOUSE label. Her track “Circularity” was featured in the HARTHOUSE 2023 compilation “Dance With The Robots,” and her “Infinity” EP was released in 2024 on the same label.
“Space and Time”: A Melodic Techno Odyssey “Space and Time” is more than just a track—it’s a journey through hypnotic melodies, trance-filled pads, and a hypnotic beat that often features a vocal, a scream of elemental forces. The result is a work of contrasts, capable of serenely suspending listeners in the void with its subtle, soft, and vaporous melodies. Plasmatique’s sound drags listeners in a sweet and bubbly way, linking complex structures with Dionysian energy, allowing for an experience that is both enjoyable and profound.
Recognition and Achievements Plasmatique’s title “Obsidian” was picked by superstar DJ David Guetta and featured in his radio show and Spotify playlists. Her latest works sit at the opposite end of the commercial spectrum, offering a kind of unstable magma of pulsations and flashes, melodic lines, and diffuse textures, pursuing a serene, spiritual, almost ascetic expression.
A Nod to Thomas Helmich Thomas Helmich, a multifaceted German producer, has played a significant role in shaping Plasmatique’s sound. Known for creating unique landscapes where electronic music transforms into a purely cinematic environment, Helmich’s influence is evident in Plasmatique’s work. His particular and sincere way of fusing emotion, dance synthesis, and melody has allowed him to carve out a niche in the market, and his support has been instrumental in Plasmatique’s journey.
