Richie Hawtin

Anyone seen him live recently? Worth going to?

We had this debate recently in the Deep Dish thread and opinions were mixed. For what it's worth, I saw him at Sonar back in June and he was very boring, but then I'm really not a fan of minimal(istic) techno.

His Soundcloud has like a billion sets, he's still playing the same bigroom pling plong minimal that he's been playing forever. The worst part is, he actually plays interesting tracks now and then and proceeds to make them worse by drowning them in silly FX and having two other tracks running. So much for the endless potential of digital DJing.

Seen him a couple of years at Sonar, then before that in ibiza, really enjoyed those sets but i have to say that his recent sets ive listened to havent been that great :-/

Saw him DJ once, was boring as fuck. His Plastikman live set however was great..

This was a few years back, but I saw him for free one time, a night that I didn't really enjoy due to... issues. His set wasn't anything spectacular either, though I do vividly remember a period of time where he wasn't even in the booth, the music playing itself as the crowd in front didn't notice, dancing along to the same minimal-techno drum loops. He had to be gone for a good five minutes before I saw him emerge from the back doors of the club, which led directly outside into the alleys. Ishkur then jokingly shouted something at him about leaving the booth for so long, prompting a confused glance from the Plastikman. Fun times.

Like a guy who still owes me $15, the *****.

if you go be prepared to hear the same bass line for the duration of the whole set

Thanks for the replies, all. He`s playing at ,Ageha, Tokyo on 10th May, and I had been toying with the idea of going, but not so much now...

one of very few dj's i would actively avoid seeing.

i think it makes sense in his own head.

I saw him a bestival last year, apparently, I remember very little of it. Although the fact that it made such little imprint on my memory probably says something (especially as he was playing on an outdoor stage that occasionally exploded).

I've seen him a few times at Electric Zoo, and he was OK... definitely brought the energy, but I'm not a fan of the music he usually plays. I do like Decks, EFX, and 909 though.

Saw him 6 years ago and he absolutely smashed it. No idea what he's like now.
