Richie Hawtin

A true legend of Techno, Richie Hawtin has been a prime mover since the days of Acid House, both as a DJ and as a producer. With a voracious musical appetite ranging from Industrial to Ambient, his own productions have charted a specific course through the world of minimalism. From pounding acid tracks to dubbed-out experimental soundscapes, he has consistently stretched the boundaries of the state of the art. The influence of Hawtin's tracks are nothing short of cataclysmic, and surely Techno would sound very different without his quixotic vision.
