Original is the concept that comes to mind when we hear the name Richie Hawtin. A creative force so prominent from such an early stage that it placed him at the heart of the technological community and made him one of the most avant-garde artists in the scene.
In addition to being responsible for the birth of iconic labels such as Plus 8, MINUS Records, and From Our Minds, Richie also wrote some of electronic dance music's most renowned pieces under his alias Plastikman. Determined to merge the dance floor with the art world, he performed in places like the Guggenheim Museum in New York and the Grand Palais in Paris, ensuring that music can be spread alongside disciplines often regarded as belonging to a different world, such as architecture and sculpture.
