Richie Hawtin is an electronic music revivalist that is closely related to Detroit's definition of techno! A true innovator in the electronic music scene and beyond, Hawtin has designed the first breed of minimal/electro, which serves as a staple to his legacy in the industry. Managing and running his own record labels, Plus8 and MINUS records, Richie Hawtin has helped artists like Speedy J in the '90s, and Gaiser in the late 2010s become global phenomenons.
His music goes beyond the mere dance floor characteristic. The visually enhanced music experience that started in the '90s under Plastikman is an externalization of Hawtin's innovation in terms of music presentation.
Richie Hawtin is a pioneer in the music industry. The Don if you have it. His contemporary plastic techno sound serves as a guide for new generations in creating a sound that can outlast the passing of time.
