The website has a video of the Contakt event from Sonar...looks amazing.

Still waiting for them to reschedule the Montreal Event I was going to.

Same.
It's all just dance music. Let's not take it too seriously folks!

Theres a time / place for the really minimal/experimental stuff, and it isn't always on the dance floor. What may make for some great home-listening / spaced out beats / after-party music can make for one hell of a boring moment on the dance floor.

Then again - when moments like that are pulled off well - it can be pretty stellar. But, those moments still tend to have a bass/beat to keep it pulled together. Going into a 12 min beatless/bassless interlude just gets people moving to the bar instead of on the dance floor.

I like it when there is a good balance. Like Richie vs Ricardo at Mutek, when he starts playing False - Fed on Youth, leads into that track with the girl vocal that is just really spaced out - almost like a lullaby, then proceeds into about 30 mins of the best set I've ever heard live - even listening to the set now I get chills.

Isn't he from Windsor? ....or Sandwich??

Born in England, spent most of his childhood / youth in Windsor, recently(ish) relocated to Berlin.

He started to make a name for himself when he was in Windsor. The Slices DVD documentary on him is a pretty interesting watch - see if you can find it a torrent or something.

Was a rhetorical question

Have met and chatted with Richie many times in Windsor

I can't stop watching this video! The crowd looks totally bored because of this awful cheesey 80's track Richie is playing, and then out of nowhere he drops spastik on them! <3 <3

Also, wtf advertising from native instruments - hawtin and grandmasta flash.

I'm listening to Richie Hawtin & Luciano - I Want To Fuck. Is this a new(ish) tune? I haven't heard it before and it's damn good.

Some 80's cheese? Watch it...

That's Laura Branagin - Self Control



He's also brought back Billie Jean at Time Warp



And Prince - Erotic City at Minitek



He must be going through some sort of mid-life crisis.

I would probably piss my pants if I heard any DJ drop Erotic City.

+1

This documentary kicks ass. gives crazy insight into the Detroit techno scene in the late 80's early 90's and hawtin's role in developing it. If anyone hasn't seen it i strongly recommend downloading it.
