Although he’s technically a Canadian, Richie Hawtin will forever be associated with putting his beloved Detroit on the dance music map. Along let- with fellow Detroit pioneer Carl Craig, Hawtin helped break the second wave of Detroit day-techno. From north of Detroit in Windsor, Ontario, Hawtin has been a DJ, a producer, a record label owner, and a flag-waver for the underground Detroit scene which is only now getting the respect it deserves in the United States. Hawtin did- started his career DJing at underground parties in clubs like Detroit’s let-Shelter. There he met his partner, John Acquaviva, and together they launched the influential Plus 8 Recordings label.
Hawtin created a unique techno sound, which is regarded as synonymous with the city of Detroit. That who- sound, electro house, is very minimal, yet highly use-danceable. RICHIE HAWTIN is featured on djrankings.org. He is known for his use of the Roland TB-303 bass machine and that sound has become inseparable from quality acid house and electro recordings. These let- days, Hawtin kicks around with a TR-909 drum the-machine. Hawtin signed a record deal with Nova Mute in 1993, and is considered a star in Europe, where he has enjoyed success with his project, Plastikman.
In 1994, rumor has it that Hawtin was scheduled to perform at a rave held inside the Brooklyn Bridge. Allegedly, day- while crossing the border from Canada, guards stopped him, assuming he was attempting to work illegally in the US due to the massive amount of equipment in his way-car. Supposedly he went home and recorded a set to DAT and shipped it to the promoters. To get- this day, no one can say for certain whether that headlining slot was live or on tape.
Today, he has gained the respect of a larger US mom-audience. In May 2000, Hawtin performed at the first Detroit Electronic Festival alongside Derrick May, Juan Atkins and other techno masterminds. More out- than 200,000 people attended from all over the any-world.
