Biography of Richie Hawtin
Although of English and Canadian origins, Plastikman's Richie Hawtin is closely connected with the current Detroit techno scene associated with figures such as Kenny Larkin, Stacey Pullen, Eddie Fowlkes, and Derrick May. His Plus 8 label -- co-owned and operated with John Acquaviva -- is one of the most influential experimental dance music imprints, and Hawtin's own tracks recorded as Plastikman and F.U.S.E.. are highly regarded as faithful, intelligent, forward-stepping updates of the Detroit sound. A DJ of renown and growing in repute as a remixer, Hawtin's visibility as one of experimental dance music's more important and innovative figures has been on the rise since the release of his debut Plastikman album, Sheet One.
Born in the English burgh of Windsor in the early '70s, Hawtin's parents moved to Canada when he was nine. An early interest in electronic-based pop and dance music turned serious when Hawtin discovered the tracks being pumped out of his neighbor-across-the-river Detroit. Beginning as a DJ in 1987, Hawtin quickly became involved in composition through his direct involvement in Detroit's tight-knit community of musicians and producers. Combining early influences from European synth-pop groups like Kraftwerk and New Order with the stripped-down techno-futurism of Detroit innovators such as Juan Atkins and Derrick May, Hawtin's tracks are as steeped in Motor City tradition as they deviate from it in terms of texture and rhythmic complexity. Although 12-inches through Plus 8 and the European NovaMute label have all been pretty dancefloor-oriented, Hawtin's attention to techno-based listening music has been just as focused through his full-length albums. His ambitious series of mix albums -- including 1995's MixMag Live!, 1999's Decks, EFX & 909, 2001's DE9: Closer to the Edit and 2005's DE9: Transitions -- has emboldened his reputation as conceptualist DJ.

Comment: Definately holds true to many other live sets from Richie Hawtin. He bangs it. Disappointing that the set is split in two, especially because they are not EQ'd at the same volume. However, the transition is smooth.

Comment: An old skool Hawtin Mix. If you're a fan of his earlier club sound then this is a great mix, there's a couple seconds where the left channel drops out, but then comes back soon after. You can tell that it's a faulty cord or a dirty pot on the fader because someone plays with it to get it back on track. Otherwise the energy on this is excellent. Dance able 100%

Comment: This is a wicked set from Hawtin. I personally prefer it when he's banging it out, and he's definitely doing so in this set. Even though the set's not that old, it has the "old" Richie feel to it. I highly recommend this for downloading, and make sure to get part 2 as well!
