		Hawtin’s voice still bears trace elements of his English background, and his speech is imbued with a deeper resonance than one might expect from his slight physique.
		Hawtin reckons that Montreal’s techno community is even healthier than the Detroit scene was in the early ‘90s, when the Motor City was plagued by divisions between cliques on the East and West sides of town.
		Hawtin is, of course, a dedicated minimalist, someone whose aesthetic preferences are manifest in his Windsor residence, a converted fire hall that he refers to simply as 530.

	Choler Magazine Album Review: Richie Hawtin -- DE9 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		After three groundbreaking albums as the big P, Hawtin reclaimed his birth name in 1999 and returned to the dance floor with his "Decks, EFX & 909" performances - a DJ set that found him augmenting his work on the turntables with his now-trademark minimalism and a bangin' 909 drum machine.
		It helps to have a rudimentary appreciation of Minimalism, for starters; Hawtin's work is ruthlessly dynamic; the changes from album's beginning to end are significant, but the journey from points a to b is made in almost microscopic increments.
		Hawtin puts on a phenomenal demonstration of this flexibility on DE9, spinning over 90 different songs and sound sources into a lean 31 track set, where no one source is recognizable, and the mix flows seamlessly from beginning to end.

		The oldest son of Brenda and Michael Hawtin, Richard Michael Hawtin was born on June 4, 1970 in Banbury, Oxon, England.
		Hawtin soon got turned on to the progressive electronic sounds of Tangerine Dream and Kraftwerk, whose records he first discovered in his dad's LP collection.
		Hawtin was startled at first to realize that Atkins, May and other favorites (like Kevin Saunderson) were based in Detroit.

	Richie Hawtin (November 2001)
		For now, though, Richie Hawtin is standing in a downtown New York City loft, a cell phone attached to his ear, trying to figure out for a friend the duration of a cross-borough cab ride.
		Hawtin: I think everything I’m trying to do, it’s adding to the two turntables, it’s something that gives me the potential to change my sets, and turn things that might be people’s favorite records and turn it into something they’ll never hear again.
		Hawtin: With the effects and the delays a lot, I’m able to double up frequencies, and double up notes within a track, and creating these weird loops that aren’t normally there in the records, and re-loop things and loop things into infinity while bringing the normal track down.

	Choler Magazine Interview: Richie Hawtin (Plastikman) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		Hawtin’s anonymity in North America epitomizes the techno ethos of personality subversion to the end of bringing the music itself into sharper focus.
		As a musician, then, Hawtin is one of electronic dance music’s foremost innovators whose roots extend to the foundation of techno itself.
		Richie Hawtin: I think in the overall picture, Coachella was definitely a really, really well-organized and attended event, and was really, I think, a good shot in the arm for that type of festival in North America.

	Richie Hawtin Talks with Amanda / Womenoftechno
		Richie has experienced a lot of change during the last few years, and he understands the future as a struggle between speed and adaptation in the process of growing.
		Of course, the politics of representation affect Richie in the midst of the limelight on this head.
		Erik Sattie, one of Richie's artistic influences was an eccentric minimalist musician born in the 1930's who wrote manifestos urging sacrifice for music, and for a time he was poor.

	Mixmaster Morris \| Music I Like \| Detroit Techno \| Richie Hawtin
		Hawtin's expert knowledge of the dancefloor has made him a frequent-flying star DJ and remixer (with upcoming work for Bill Laswell, Bomb The Bass, New Order and the X-Mix 3 compilation and video).
		Richie is a big part of several scenes, so much so that three countries claim his citizenship.
		Hawtin's new single, "Plastique," is a masterpiece of rhythm programming, a continuation of previous sample-free tracks "Plasticity" and "Plasticine." The full brilliance of the simple acid-tinged drum machine elements shine when heard on a loud club PA, where his rhythmic "complex minimalism" produces an irreducible transit of propulsive information.

	Richie Hawtin: DE9 \| Closer To The Edit (novamute)
		Born in Banbury, Oxfordshire, England, on June 4th 1970 Hawtin emigrated with his family when he was nine to Windsor, Ontario, where his dad Mick still works as a robot technician in the General Motors car factory (his mother, Brenda, is in real estate).
		By 1993 Richie Hawtin's Detroit parties had become legendary intense affairs as freaky dancing clubbers lost themselves in strange, dark warehouses transformed into disorientating warrens by walls of fl plastic sheeting.
		Hawtin was already shifting identities like a spy changing roles: his 1992 album "Dimension Intrusion", under his Fuse alias, had played a key part in the Warp label's groundbreaking "Artificial Intelligence" armchair-Techno series, but he wanted to reach further.

	Richie Hawtin: Decks, EFX & 909 (NovaMute)
		Armed with an arsenal of effects, Hawtin explores beyond the limits of his craft, mutating and rearranging tracks and loops in such a way as to create a whole new texture and feel.
		Yet by the mid '90's Hawtin was already becoming famed for his sound-bending exploits as he tweaked the EQ with astounding success.
		Hawtin has also been commissioned by the French government's Department of Culture to compose two pieces of music as part of the French Millennium 2000 celebrations.

		Richie Hawtin (also known as Plastikman) was one of the most influential artists in the world of techno during the '90s.
		Hawtin combined lean percussion and spare acid lines into techno tracks that had enough power for the dance floor while being able to hold the attention of non-club listeners at the same time.
		Hawtin's tracks have become part of the Motor City tradition but they still deviate from it in terms of sound texture and rhythmic melodies.

	Music: Richie Hawtin (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		Hawtin describes his earlier works as quirky, funky acid, a tag that no longer holds.
		It's also fair to say that the majority of people who enjoy Hawtin as a DJ enjoy him because he can be counted on to throw down that slightly off-the-wall record at calculated points during a set.
		Hawtin is reliable in that way: we're never quite sure what to expect, but we know not to expect the run-of-the-mill.

	Detroit Techno - Richie Hawtin Interview
		Richie Hawtin is known for his razor-sharp musical instinct and keen intellect.
		RICHIE HAWTIN: Yeah, I was already playing in clubs and people were saying, “Hey, the guy who played instead of Richie [Hawtin] was cool, but what happened to Richie?” Seriously, it’s ridiculous.
		HAWTIN: Last year was a really crazy year, for me. I went through a lot of changes, like leaving my girlfriend of eight years, who was with me from the beginning of [my career under the pseudonym] Plastikman until now.

	Richie Hawtin - dublin - clubs
		Richie Hawtin began his early years in the London suburb of Windsor and moved to Canada with his parents when he was nine.
		Hawtin showed an early interest in music, especially electronic pop and dance music and his interest turned to fascination when he heard the sounds being pumped out of Detroit.
		Hawtin's releases a Plastikman and F.U.S.E are regarded as some of the most ambitious and intelligent releases to come out of the Detroit scene.

		Richie Hawtin is the George Michael of techno.
		And like Michael, Hawtin originally shared the bill with a friend, namely John Acquaviva, co-owner of Plus 8 and co-producer of Hawtin's early work under a variety of monikers.
		Hawtin may never grace the top of the pop charts, but his canny decision to market techno to suburban white kids and the indie hordes made him a sales sensation, at least in the electronic ghetto.

	Plastikman and his Final Scratch
		Hawtin: "I think Final Scratch is really a revolution for DJ's, it enables all of us to interact with vinyl and turntables in exactly the same way we have for so many years.
		In fact, Hawtin's critics complain that his tracks are too clean, stripped away of their sweat and humanity, devoid of any organic warmth.
		Hawtin: "The events that we do in the Windsor-Detroit area are probably the best to really understand what I'm doing and what I'm all about because there we take big warehouses or larger venues and transform them into something that exists only for that one night and that moment in time.

		As Hawtin explains in the liner notes, the mix was originally conceived not as an 79-minute-long CD but a 96-minute-long DVD.
		Hawtin continues to stretch the boundaries, redefining the very concept of music to suit his whims.

		It’s been years since his Consumed and Decks, EFX & 909 albums were released, and Richie Hawtin now forces his listeners to turn inward and examine themselves on Closer, and the candid emotions that gradually shaped themselves within Hawtin’s mind are what dictate the darkly pensive mood of this minimalist techno album.
		It should be noted that the mixer Richie Hawtin brings with him on tour is a modified Allen & Heath CTRL Mixer -- one of only two in the world -- customized by his own father, a robotics engineer.

	Richie Hawtin: DE9: Transitions: Pitchfork Review (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		Richie Hawtin's third and final entry in the DE9 series realizes the concept driving 1999's Decks, EFX & 909 and 2001's DE9: Closer to the Edit on a weird, fuzzy-tech level.
		Employing a rackful of software he manipulates hundreds of track segments, song bytes, and musical layers into 28 newly-titled pieces, their internal parts laid out under each heading like the gears and sprockets of a dismantled clock.
		But the result is always clean and smooth, mostly because Hawtin aims for assimilation above everything else, no matter the character or duration of the building bits he uses.

		Hawtin takes 22 tracks, ranging from acid to house to hard techno, and remakes them all in his own image.
		Tweaking tracks into new shapes and sizes, Hawtin maintains a mid-tempo, sparse sound that nonetheless provides the one thing his albums lack: diversity.
