Richie Hawtin launches Twitter app for Traktor

Pioneering techno DJ Richie Hawtin has announced the development of a new Twitter application that enables him to broadcast his Traktor tracklists in real time over the network.

The custom Twitter application was developed in-house by Richie Hawtin�s label Minus, and it works by uploading song metadata through Traktor Pro�s inbuilt broadcasting functionality.

Track details are automatically posted to Richie Hawtin�s Twitter account every 30 seconds (you can already see Traktor tracklist updates on his Twitter), giving anyone access to the tracklist of his performance, and providing exposure to the artists and labels whose music is being played.

The Twitter app is so advanced that it inspired Native Instruments to add the functionality themselves to version 1.2 of Traktor Pro which will be released as a free update.

That means that soon everyone will be able to tweet their tracklists via Traktor. Awesome!

this IS pretty cool.. may not mean much to the average clubber, but it means a lot for the artist whose music he's promoting w/ this
