Re: richie hawtin Richie Hawtin I love Techno, Gent 13-11-2004 Richie Hawtin Live @ Time-Warp 15 Mannheim 27-03-2004 Both canny sets,you got dex,efx and 909's? Canny cd to look out for if you have'nt.
He doesn't do as many tricks as dc but technically, he's one of the best DJs there is. Have only seen him a couple of times but he's ben excellent both. Like mutematt said- dex fx and a 909 is a class cd- worth getting if you haven't already There's a few sets here: Richie Hawtin - Live at The Arches - Glasgow - 2002 http://media.m-nus.com/DOWNLOAD/MP3.../GLASGOWMIX.mp3 Richie Hawtin - Montreal Mix - 2003 http://media.m-nus.com/DOWNLOAD/MP3...MONTREALMIX.mp3 Richie Hawtin - Maida Vale - March 2004 http://mp3.4four.org//RichieHawtin_..._Maida_Vale.mp3 Richie Hawtin - Live at BBC, Radio 1 - 2003 http://media.m-nus.com/DOWNLOAD/MP3...BBC_RADIO_1.mp3 Richie Hawtin - In Perth - 1999 http://www.teknoscape.com.au/mp3/Ri...erth 1999.mp3 Richie Hawtin - Timewarp - Mar 2004 Part 1 http://mp3.4four.org/RichieHawtin-T...28-2004_pt1.mp3 Part 2 http://mp3.4four.org/RichieHawtin-T...28-2004_pt2.mp3 Richie Hawtin - Soundcity HQ - Dec 2004 http://media.m-nus.com/DOWNLOAD/MP3...undcityRich.mp3 Richie Hawtin Vs Ricardo Villalobos - Robert Johnson Mix - Mar 2004 http://media.m-nus.com/DOWNLOAD/MP3...TJOHNSONMIX.mp3 Give me a hsout if you want any tracklistinggs- got most of the somewhere
There's some class one on there- got all of them a while back but pinched the links from livesets board
Hawtin is my favourite dj. His Closer To Edit album is absolutley fantastic !! I have all those sets,someone on livesets.com?
If your looking for good mixes by Hawtin, the older the better. Some of the stuff he does these days is zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz material imo. Check out his Mixmag live mix from a good few years back. The Closer To The Edit album was good in that it was really cleverly done and one of the first mixes done in that way. Although some of the album sounded decent, alot of it was sleep inducing minimalism to me.
I don't really like closer to the edit - gutted I missed him at sound city when he was doing his decks efx & 909 live - that would have been worth seeing.
I reckon that's from hanging round with villalobos too much!!!!- I've seen him play hard as nails sets but when they were at the arches a while back it was way too minimal
Rumour has it that Richie Hawtin will be playing Sankeys with Ricardo Vilalobos at some point this year!!! that will be amazing
Yeah could be. His recent sets all follow the boring minimal track/cut the bass for 4 minutes/drop the bass back in/play another boring minimal track, routine. If you're going to insist on playing mega-long sets, you need a little more than that.
I couldn't agree more- I've seen him play hard sets and keep it hard but at the arches, it was sto-start-stop-start all night. never really got going
That's exactly what I thought. Just being moinimal for the sake of it without bringing anything interesting into the mix - dull as fuck if you ask me. Like lee said, closer to the edit was a perfect example - "look at me on final scratch, which I've just helped develop" - WELL WHY DON'T YOU FUCKING DO SOMETHING INTERTESTING WITH IT AND SHOW US WHAT IT'S CAPABLE OF THEN?
With hawtin being the biggest name associated with all this minimalism, its easy why people associate the word minimal with boring. The whole idea of minimalism (in whatever sense - music, art, etc) is that what is actually there is so good that it doesn't need anything added to it, as it would ruin the effect - something that the current music of Hawtin/Villalobos lacks.
