every time i've gone to see richie hawtin i've had a lousy time, mostly because the crowd is terrible

mkb = He was quoting me out of context. I'm done with this thread. Obviously Richie inspires a type of love him or hate him effect. Personally, I love what he does. And I'll leave it at that.

He played a little bit of the 5.1 mix and I thought it was pretty amazing. The whole mix is 94 minutes long. I don't know how I'm going to feel about listening to a mix for that long outside of a club setting. A guy I know managed to snag a promo copy of it so I'll be hearing it very shortly. From what I've heard so far, it's a very interesting mix but I don't think it would translate well to a dancefloor. He said that he wants to start producing tracks in 5.1 and start a label that puts out only 5.1 stuff. I think that's what's going to be really interesting.

intresting, i have the track minimissions, sounds nice and dark

I just got my hands on the new Joris Voorn mix he did for FUSE, and it's pretty obviously an Ableton mix, and it completely answers all of my criticisms of ableton sets. It's outstanding!

From Wayne and Wax:

"the weekend began thursday night with a rare sweep through town by [color=#448888]richie hawtin[/color]. i've been an ardent admirer of hawtin's techno wizardry since [color=#448888]DE9:closer to the edit[/color], which remains one of my favorite long-players in any genre. back when i was living in the midwest, i'd truck it to chicago or minneapolis to catch his shows (and thank my blessings when he came to madison). there seem to be few techno DJs who approach a live set with the same degree of craft, and with attention to the most miniscule details, as dr.hawtin. employing [color=#448888]final scratch[/color], he nips and tucks at a vast array of loops and tracks and frequently reveals some beguiling rhythms lurking beneath the ever-present (and usually pounding) 4/4. what most struck me this time, though, were the timbres: some of the synths sounded like the sonic fabric itself being ripped and torn to bits. utterly engulfing, sensual sounds. like nothing i've ever heard. (and this is where techno still really excites, for me anyhow--in its constant search for new sounds.) minimal and psychedelic, hard and rich, hawtin gave us plenty to listen to and good reason to shake along. only problem: this being boston, the place was far from packed and the dancing, save for some stalwarts, was far from enthusiastic. that collective feeling of riding the waves never quite gripped me. but it was fun nonetheless. i wait with bated breath for [color=#448888]DE9:transitions[/color]."

yay boston. heh
