The label philosophy

Plastic City is a city that is not made of stone or metal, but rather is composed of the thoughts of the listener. That, at least to scientists in the year 2495 published in the " Scientist Report Network " ( as it is in English on many covers of the label since 1995 to read to date). Plastic City works by some mystical, should be timeless while remaining always in flux. It is a city ( of thoughts ), in which let the inhabitants ( Artist ) and its position be determined not static, as constantly evolving new forms and constantly changes take place.

The releases of Plastic City are divided into so-called era: " Early Days " (1993-1996), "Age Of Search and Destruction" (1996-1998), " Reconstructed " (1998-2002), " Maybe.Plastic City" (2003-2006) and currently "Imagination Of The shape" (2006 -present).
