About the Artist

Richie Hawtin is a British-born, Canadian-raised techno producer whose work runs from stripped-back minimal techno to the acid-driven, IDM-leaning material he releases as Plastikman. He founded the labels Plus8 and MINUS, and as Plastikman he has made six albums and two compilations, with his label work spanning artists from Speedy J in the early 90s to Gaiser in the 2010s. His live sets are known for pushing technology, building performances around custom setups rather than a straightforward DJ mix.
