RICHIE HAWTIN SET-WHAT TO EXPECT?

FLYNN-DOG

Hi there,

Cannot wait to see Hawtin soo, howver, i hear he is playing 4 tunes st the same time, sounds a bit gimmicky, just wondering if he plays any of his own tunes. ie plasticine, spastick, disco rout etc. Also, is that cube any good, and whats this about the contakt events sending stuff to your phone?!

Cheers

brianc27

he will either be brilliant or ****, last year i seen him play 2 of the best sets ive ever heard (fabric, april and the end, september), then within a few months i heard him play complete ****. That cube thing is aload of bollox but you neednt worry about that as that only comes out at the contakt events, the tripod gig isnt a contakt event. doubt he'll play any of the pastikman stuff bar maybe spastik. The 4 tracks at once thing really isnt as good or gimmicky as you might think, its mainly just 4 loops playing off traktor 3, anyone that uses traktor 3 would/could play it this way (more or less)

Im jumoing on the commercial bandwagon and heading over to see him at ILT, which is a contakt event. I saw the video at SE one in London and it looked unbelievable, so hoping it is something like that! So Marc Houle will play bay of figs etc then?

i was at SE1 for that, wasnt really looking forward to it as i dont really rate minus, i think hawtin can be unreal on his own if you get him on a good day, but dont really think much of the other minus heads (bar Gaiser). Have friends in london so went over to see them moreso then head to the contakt event, anyway it turned out to be pretty enjoyable, better then expected, they all play back to back so musically its a bit up and down, houle didnt play 'bay of figs' (thank god), hawtin seemed to be doin alot of running around on stage so i think theres more to it then them just playing back to back, any time Gaiser or Hawtin played they seemed to raise the bar a bit musically, id give the whole event a 7/10.

will prob check it out at ILT for an hour or two as theres f*ck all else decent on from around 12-2am.

Im a big minus head myself, have you checked out much of jessie hearththrobs stuff? You don't rate magda? Its underworld and contakt for me at ILT, done with most the electro stuff

brianc27

i think Gaiser is the only credible artist on the minus label right now.

i like magda as a dj, have enjoyed alot of her sets, reminds me of derek carter a bit, really jackin house feel to her mixes.

Actually i did not understand the cube thing at the start but i saw this video

This is the last part out of 7 vids. he just explains how his setup works and on this last part he explains what the cube is.
If he did a lot of running around it s because his Traktor is Master and everybody else's slave, so he is a bit like a conductor. Check out the other vidz it s very interesting

I've seen Hawtin a few times and indeed he has always been good, plays or at least used to play some decent Techno although not as manic as some of the German Techno i prefer, people used to compare him to Jeff Mills but i always thought Mills was far better.

Dunno what Hawtin plays now as ive not seen him since the late 1990's.

Are they both in Tripod on the same night? Thats a bit ridiculous, who would go and see Dan le Sac with Richie in the other room?

Of course that gets u brownie points!

I've been downloading a few Hawtin sets and man he varies a LOT. Some of them are just so minimal - you really could not dance to it. Others are really chunky techno that would have people going bananas. I'm hoping for the latter. Gaiser has some more melodic stuff - I'm really looking forward to this one

MikeHoncho

Im presuming with the lack of time Richie will just have to bash them out. Been listening to Gaiser ALOT recentley. His productions are excellent.

FLYNN-DOG

Im ashamed top say i haven't - but will check him out over the weekend. Magdas new album is something to look forward to though
