[@kevingreen3399]

Richie at his best. Detroit Techno forever!!

[@imarchulito]

No words for this. The music hes doing now is amazing. Mixing his acid and minimal style with berlin techno. Its just perfect. And the live act, the setup the visuals and everything around is mindblowing. Such an artist!

[@nawal_n_heaven8689]

Oh boy, he is in a whole different world with those decks while managing to take control of all of his surrounding! How powerful is this? ART

[@dennisvantoor5380]

agree, epic. if U like this, i suggest listening to the advent live

[@DimitrisKoronakosIonikos]

The 1st that brought 4 pups on the stage and then everyone learnt. He's the WORLD.. I've heard countless times live, he's all the 💰💰💰🔝☝️🎧💯🙏

[@alufabrik97]

this is for sure art, and every one whos saying that techno is no music must be on mars xD

[@re_a999]

Thats how i like his music - when the sound comes from everywhere.

[@sebastiangomez3919]

Sr. Hawtin, usted es diabolico...

[@melodictechno719]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/hp7Qnp17o8tjqdE new track old school

[@ForcesPlay]

This is insane. Richie Hawtin is pushing the limits of what is possible with Techno music these days. The Close show is a perfect example for how electronic music can be played live!

[@losangulos]

Not really

[@losangulos]

I mean he's not pushing the limits he's within the context, you like it that's all.

[@ForcesPlay]

Well, in the Close Show he uses an especially for him produced mixer with (let me lie here) 10 Channels, several loop machines and a god damn Modular Synth and he plays all of this live...if this doesn't mean pushing limits of Electronic Music I don't know what does.. There are many good Electronic liveacts like Paul Kalkbrenner, Kink and Dubfire but none of them reaches this perfect level of live Techno you can only get with a Modular Synth, these things create such great sounds

[@losangulos]

@@ForcesPlay those are tools, they make sounds they don't write music.

[@AndyWardpara]

@@ForcesPlay have you not heard of Surgeon? He's been live and modular for year's!

[@jimaforwood743]

All my mates who are now 50 ish are making some amazing tunes . 30 years in the making . I love their sheer determination and perseverance. Someone once said “as long as we have music, then we will be fine.”

[@juancamilomarmolejo1]

Perfect Master Piece! I think we would never see an artist like RH in decades. I'm glad I saw PlastikMan Live 1.5 in Manchester. Thanks God... I'm blessed!

[@HONRTYPE]

Sir Ritchie of Hawtin I applaud you!! The Glasgow gig last night was techno bliss!! Seen his dj sets twice before in years gone by, but this was on another level!!......outstanding live 🔊👍👌👍

[@sylys1116]

Richie you are a genius. Awsome performance. This inspires me.

[@oroprod]

thank you mr. Hawtin for including my track " F To F" in your live, honored

[@l_sp.]

Dreaming about watching this someday...

[@Underground24]

[@kii601]

I saw he on august and it was anwsomeeeeee

[@dwikysaputra623]

you are a true Artist, Mr. Richie Hawtin.

[@iulixxx]

This is amazing...the CLOSE show is Richie's best performance ever imo.

[@TheWholeBurrito]

seeing him perform close in Amsertdam this summer was the most mindblowing experience and stood out to be the most impressive electronic performance I have ever seen, Few people are on this man's level

[@sakeb3645]

Not seen this performance live, but to a trained eye, doesn't look as hard as it is because everything is synced. And most of the tracks are pre programmed. All that's different is are the filters and modulation. You could almost take someone virtually with no skill and have him twist and turn the knows enough to create something similar.

[@brianmccloskey8575]

Check out four tet

[@hortanord188]

@@sakeb3645 haha, of course everything in sync, and pre programed tracks. Can u make a live set of 2 hours from the scratch ? He can, but people would freak out. Honestly men....

[@carlosmendoza-ty5ji]

Fucking levels, there's always something higgest. And yes, this men is an Electronic surgeon

[@a.p.7011]

​@@sakeb3645 i hope you are joking... man... like he is clicking just 2 keys and go on... this is years and years of experience and skills, you can't understand becouse 4 u playing music from spotify is the same thing

[@elsh4ne]

2021 and still I can't realise how it this possible massive!!!!

[@lhhr3062]

I was lucky yo see thai show in Madrid, Mad Cool... Key point is the rythim growing in each step...very consistent and focus...A total professional musician and DJ
