Subscribe to our YouTube Channel: http://bit.ly/10OyDHc ------ The first part of our chat with Plastikman himself at the 2014 Red Bull Music Academy in Tokyo. Richie Hawtin has always pushed the envelope: he started Plus 8 Records with John Acquaviva at the turn of the '90s, formed the M_nus empire and developed Final Scratch. His works under the F.U.S.E. guise, the delicious desolation of Plastikman, countless remixes and his groundbreaking works with the Concept series and the *Decks, EFX & 909* compilation are all firmly planted in techno's history. A fierce advocate of developing technology as long as it doesn't detract from the physical experience of community, he's continued to operate at the limits, whether it be via his wifi-enabled CONTAKT event series or his successful Ibiza night ENTER. Even after decades in the game, Richie Hawtin lives in the moment, on the cusp of the future.
