About Richie Hawtin aka Plastikman
Born in Oxfordshire, Hawtin moved to Canada at age nine. Growing up, he was heavily influenced by his father’s diverse record collection and developed a deep curiosity for electronics. As a child, he watched his father dismantle, rebuild, and modify various devices, which sparked his interest in technology.
His love for music, technology, and computers naturally came together. Upon hearing early Detroit Techno and Chicago Acid House on Jeff Mills’ late ’80s Detroit radio show, Hawtin found his path. Traveling between his hometown of Windsor, Ontario, and Detroit, he (as Plastikman) became a key figure in some of the most intense underground electronic music parties.
Last year marked the 30th anniversary of his debut Plastikman album, “Sheet One”, and “Dimension Intrusion” under his F.U.S.E. alias for WARP’s Artificial Intelligence series. He also co-heads the Plus 8 label with John Acquaviva, runs the M_nus label, and co-founded the PLAYdifferently mixer/technology company. Alongside his music career, he’s expanding into the sake industry with his ENTER.Sake brand and the Sake 36 emporium in Berlin.
