S.o.t.D. - DE9 Transitions – Richie Hawtin


I’ve seen a lot of live acts in my time, but if I had to pick the top 3, or top 5, Richie Hawtin would rank up there. I’m sure many people who don’t know any better will wonder how someone playing records can be considered a “live” act. But his show is very much live. Utilizing elements from 3 records, keeping them all in sync, adding elements from sequencers, sampling on the fly, and building up tracks from that, controlling the visuals. And what he creates is just amazing. Cold and clinical on one hand, and totally warm and funky on the other hand.
