I live in Calgary and i didnt hear of this event. Or this DJ.

gotta keep your ear to the ground
do you check at Phonics, or go on msg boards? Do you know who Richie Hawtin is?
www.electrocalgary.com
www.subtutious.com

are 3 good places to start

not a fan of his techno style. I have his Decks Efx and 909 CD and its okay.

I'd have to say that in my experience his live sets are nothing like his albums whch tend to be much more ... experimental ... in nature.

Hawtin live is an off-the-fucking-hook experience. I'm not majorly into techno, but when Hawtin comes to London (sadly usually only two or three times a year) I *will* drop whatever I had planned to go.

People sometimes call Hawtin "the DJ's DJ" - if you ever get the chance, go see why - he'll mix *continuously* with absolute smooth precision for 6 or 8 hours at a stretch. Awesome.

i enjoyed it, and the fact that he brought out his Mac/Apple laptops to fix into the set made it all the better

richie hawtin is a freaking legend. i'm still waiting to see him live but he's done so much for the industry and is possibly one of the greatest djs living at the moment

i can't believe your from canada and you haven't heard of hawtin.

He always uses the apple laptop now. It's an intrical part of his live/dj sets. The xone 92 by allen and heath was basically designed for richie hawtin and his powerbook.

what a great night! Richie was better than the last time i saw him, and i enjoyed his set even more than i thought i would....he wasn't as tribal/techno as i've heard from him, more on the deep dirty techy banging house side... which i loved! What time did he play until? ...we left just ahead of 3am....

I hear he's coming back in November possibly! i'm there!

he played till around 3:30, although after that track he dropped at 3am, it was all downhill from there
