RICHIE HAWTIN BIO:

Also Known As: Plastikman Fuse Circuit Breaker From Within Cybersonik Concept 1 Xenon Hard Brothers Jack Master UP! Final Exposure Richard Michaels Chrome Robotman Spawn LFO vs FUSE.

Canada's RICHIE HAWTIN has made his mark on electronic music by being both inventive and innovative. His career takes him all over the world with tour dates in over 25 nations on average each year. Born in Banbury, England, his family moved to Windsor in the late 1970's. As a teenager Hawtin found inspiration to make music from a combination of techno music from Detroit, his father's record collection and an obsession with computers, video games and science fiction. As a recording artist, producer, remixer, live performer and DJ, his productions are recorded in Windsor and released on his now legendary Plus 8 & Minus record labels. Today, in between touring the globe he spends time in his studios in Windsor, Canada and Berlin, Germany.

With over fifteen years of DJ experience, Hawtin has headlined some of the most prestigious festivals and events in club culture to date and continues to define rather than follow musical trends. Internationally in demand, from Seoul to Sydney, San Francisco to Sao Paulo or Dublin to Istanbul, Hawtin's developed sound of entertaining and interesting DJ art continues to push dance music into the future. His DJ reputation has earned him many Best International DJ awards with fans and the music industry.

On record it was Hawtin's recording moniker of PLASTIKMAN that put him in the limelight, with a mix of techno and ambient sounds. His dedication to his craft has also received notoriety, performing live with the Barcelona Symphony Orchestra, creating sound installations for the French Ministry of Culture's Millennium Celebration and composing music for the Torino 2006 XXth Olympic Winter Games opening ceremonies.

Not content with technology of today, Hawtin has had a unique vision in developing creative options for musicians to create and perform electronic music with, most notably with early involvement in the Final Scratch DJ system and his own modifications to DJ equipment. His attention to detail and desire to push the envelope both in the studio and on the stage continues to be his beacon of determination in addition to being Canada's electronic music ambassador.

BAREM BIO:

Mauricio Barembuem (a.k.a. Barem) is a young emerging artist from Buenos Aires, Argentina. He was a music student and a guitar enthusiast since the age of 15. By the age of 19, Barem was fully dedicated to creating electronic music shortly after a trip to Berlin. In 2003, he started djing and performing live sets of minimal techno. Today, Barem's groovy minimal tracks are based around synthetic samples, analog rhythmic elements and hypnotic basslines. Also integrating rhythmic nuances of his native Argentinian roots, Barem's work is singularly deep, tracky and heady with a timbral sensibility that is intermittently harmonic. Meanwhile, his sound continues to evolve while he cleverly maintains his own unique style.

In 2006, Barem did extensive world touring throughout Europe, South America and North America. At the year's end, he was ranked as the #4 "best newcomer" in Groove Magazine's annual reader's poll issue. Now that Barem is a household name in the techno world, he will continue
expanding his sound while constantly djing and playing live around the world. For the present and future, Barem takes a step forward by focusing his music productions on the only two families where he feels a strong connection, minus and foundsound.

AMBIVALENT BIO:

Kevin McHugh (aka AMBIVALENT) is a native of Washington, DC and resident of New York City. His musical development began in DC where he was influenced by the broad nature of that city's music scene. Early exposure to acid-house and industrial side-by-side with DC's homegrown go-go and hardcore punk scenes deeply influenced his music.

After a brief period in London, Kevin moved to New York in 1996. He began producing a music series inside the Brooklyn Bridge Anchorage for Creative Time. Over the next 5 years he produced events with artists such as Thomas Brinkmann, Dimbiman, Carl Craig, Ryoji Ikeda, Pole, and many more. It was during this time that he began making a connection with M-nus. He went on to produce events in New York featuring friends such as Magda, Troy Pierce and his roommate Jesse (Heartthrob) as well as Matthew Dear, Akufen and Sammy Dee.

He moved to Berlin in 2004 to help Richie Hawtin produce the Plastikman live concert. He later returned to New York and re-dedicated himself to producing music inspired by his friends. He answered an ad for an apartment, and moved in with a DJ named Camea. She later created Clink Recordings. He DJs regularly in New York, and on his internet radio show, The Nerd Tank, with Camea. He has releases and remixes (past and forthcoming) on Minus, Clink, Klickhaus, Esperanza, and Leftroom.

[EIGHTYEIGHTDC]

WOW great looking out HAWTIN himself, do you think Muse would let this party go a little later than normal say till 4 or 5???

we're working on it - i'm not sure about 4 or 5, but we're gonna do our best to go as late as possible.

Richie, Barem & Ambivalent will be playing in the main room all night (no openers) so this will be one of those nights where you should def come at 10 - if not earlier.

Hawtin is from Berlin? Or am I reading that wrong and that is some label or group name?

Is that the credentials you need in order to be a Minimalist Techno DJ/Producer?

Great booking, I'm sure this one was not on the cheap side. Trust me, I've seen his price point and rider.

[Abduction]

tooo true!

[EIGHTYEIGHTDC]

DC is the first stop on the tour.....
don't miss this one people.


Minus USA Bus Tour 2009

The second Minus Bus Tour hits the road on 26 June, taking in 11 North American cities in 11 days. Together with Barem and Ambivalent, Richie Hawtin will be handing out state-of-the-art audio beatings at venues stretching from Washington DC to New York, through Canada and on to Chicago, with a potent mixture of digital Djing and Live performance.

But it’s not just about the music, there are other significant aspects to the tour - most notably Richie will be using the Twitter DJ application he pioneered at this years' Time Warp in Germany. Utilizing feeds from an updated version of Traktor’s standard broadcasting technology this revolutionary software allows for instantaneous broadcasting of all tracks played during a DJ set by sending 60 second updates to a designated Twitter account. Anyone following the Twitter group will get a unique insight into how he’s constructing the atmosphere and dynamics of a set, track by track and in real time. The track information is freely accessible from any Twitter configured personal mobile device (even from the dance floor) and archived online on the Twitter page. You can be part of the experience, wherever you are by contacting rhawtin on Twitter (www.twitter.com/rhawtin)

Then there’s the bus itself. Being on the road and eating up the miles on such an extensive tour demands a sense of responsibility, which is why Minus has a commitment to sustainable touring and operations. Together with environmental logistics firm Restorative Events, Minus is operating the tour using the highest blend of bio diesel available. This will save at least 3500 lbs of Carbon Emissions as well as reduce Particulate Matter, Carbon Monoxide, and Sulphur. It’s just one more aspect of the label’s commitment to environmentalism along with participation in the Flight Emissions Offset program and ongoing initiatives to reduce packaging/waste.

[IonaGlasscock, whatevs]

So I noticed that presale tickets for this are sold out? Are you going to have any available at the door?

I'm just trying to find out for a couple people.

[stormryder]

Weirdly, we weren't going to come out (I'm a wimp about weekday parties when I'm in school) but then I noticed Barem and Ambilivent were also on the line-up. That sealed the deal.

Thankfully I grabbed 2 of those 9!

[EIGHTYEIGHTDC]

oooops - not sure why i always forget thats you sean - hehehe

[EIGHTYEIGHTDC]

maybe its cuz i always read the name "stormYryder" instead of "stormryder"
which sounds either really gay or like a girls name.

hehehhehehehe

[stormryder]

It's my first "handle" from when I was posting on stuff that wasn't even the internet.

A bunch of bastards have stole it since, but if you see anything circa 1988-91 with that name in it, it's referring to me.

[EIGHTYEIGHTDC]
