You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 44.199.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪Blablubbs‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 12:56, 12 May 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

'''Plus 8''' (also spelled as '''Plus8''') is a Canadian [[techno]] [[record label]], based in [[Windsor, Ontario|Windsor]], [[Ontario]].  Along with [[Underground Resistance (band)|Underground Resistance]] and [[Planet E]], Plus 8 was one of the early producers of [[Detroit Techno]]'s 'Second Wave' music at the start of the 1990s.

==History==
Plus 8 was founded in [[1990 in music|1990]] by [[disc jockey|DJs]] [[Richie Hawtin]] and [[John Acquaviva]].<ref name="LarkinDM">((cite book|title=[[Encyclopedia of Popular Music|The Virgin Encyclopedia of Dance Music]]|editor=[[Colin Larkin (writer)|Colin Larkin]]|publisher=[[Virgin Books]]|date=1998|edition=First|isbn=0-7535-0252-6|page=261))</ref> The label's name referred to the fact that on most turntables, +8% is the maximum amount by which one can increase the speed of playback.<ref name="LarkinDM"/>  Initial releases were  a series of increasingly faster [[industrial hardcore]] recordings by the pair themselves and their friends, using aliases such as '''States of Mind''' and '''Cybersonik''', along with other [[Detroit]]-based musicians such as [[Kenny Larkin]].<ref name="LarkinDM"/>

The label began to retreat from hard and fast tempo after the release of Circuit Breaker's "Overkill/Frenz-E" and Cybersonik's "Thrash" in 1992.  Hawtin and Aquaviva lost interest in the drug-fueled dynamic and rave culture that was driving hardcore techno.  In 1992, after observing a crowd in a [[Rotterdam]] club shouting an [[anti-semitic]] [[football chant]] over Plus 8's song, Cybersonik's "Thrash", Hawtin and Aquaviva decided to change musical direction by slowing down the tempo and bringing funk and soul back into their music.<ref>

Plus 8 releases include early [[12-inch single]]s from [[Speedy J]], and from Richie Hawtin's many [[pseudonym]]s including [[F.U.S.E.]] and [[Plastikman]]. By 1996 Plus 8 had also released a number of dance compilation albums.<ref name="Inc.1996">((cite journal|author=Larry LeBlanc|title=Dance Compilations Moving in Canada|journal=Billboard|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=pw0EAAAAMBAJ&pg=PA68|date=25 May 1996|publisher=Nielsen Business Media, Inc.|pages=68–|issn=0006-2510))</ref> The label was suspended in 1997, as Acquaviva concentrated on DJing and Hawtin on his new label, [[M nus]], but releases (and re-releases of early material often licensed to other labels) have appeared from time to time, notably 2000's ''Plus 8 Classics'' triple &nbsp;12-inch vinyl and CD retrospective.
