We know Richie Hawtin as a DJ who isn’t afraid to embrace new technologies. He definitely uses the latest technologies in order to make his performances as unforgettable as any other you probably will see or have seen.

Hawtin has taken Plastikman’s most classic material, originally released between 1993 and 2003, and reworked it for a truly live performance accompanied by mind-bending, synchronized visuals—a sound and light show like no other, one that collapses the distance between present-day festivals and the uncompromisingly underground warehouse parties of the mid ’90s.
