Richie Hawtin - FOLD - London UK 19.10.2019

[@talkingheadzzz2449]

The very best techno set I've ever heard in my life since the late 80's! I'm blown away, and that is not an easy thing to happen!! -Richie Hawtin has been THE techno God since 1993!!!

[@filthyrodriguez9415]

His live performances are out of this world. Highest QUALITY and always consistent, there is no debate.. The awareness, intelligence and passion behind his live sound mixing is felt, always at the cutting edge and unmistakably the best on Earth. I'm convinced Richie Hawtin is an alien. That's how seriously good he is.

[@level_00]

Right!! i think too is an alien!

[@TheNotoriousMIC]

Definitely an alien. 100%

Thanx For coming back to real underground techno Richie!!!

[@Gavaldo]

Just a genuine legitimate genius of Underground Techno. Still to be doing this since the early 90s. I’ve watched Richie go through many different times and genres but he’s a true techno legend who can mix and do anything with techno the way it should be done! He constructs a set like this and takes you through a journey of sonic adventure. World class DJ when he plays this style he’s right Up there with the very best in the game. Richie is something very very special and we appreciate him. 🕊️✌️🕊️

[@mimikbreizh]

back to basics = straight away to the point to perfection and it's pure magic even my balls were shaking as part of his live !!! Respect

[@silvercat7328]

Yes! That intro! We was at the back, I was clock watching & called it to my mate “it’s Hawtin”, 5 seconds later the crowed erupted! What a night, every DJ nailed it, I danced until my legs seized up! X

[@silvercat7328]

@Christine Cordey hello! It was set up so there was no real focus on the DJ booth & filming was banned, stickers on camera phones on entry. Sweat was dripping off the ceilings, good sound system. Visually it was quite dark, hazy red vibe (couldn’t see much 😜). The crowed was fully committed. All the DJ’s nailed it, i couldn’t hold back! 💥

[@nokmok4035]

It is totally incredible, the atmosphere that creates sounds and effects, is like taking a trip to space.

[@gelatinous6915]

From a DJ's perspective he is maybe one of the best out there. He plays like 3 to 4 tracks simeltaniously and cuts out all but a certian part (hats from one, synth from another, base from one, etc) AND THEN proceeds to add his own loops and samples

[@chenglu3314]

@@gelatinous6915 at the same time he's able to select the right tracks at the right time

[@gelatinous6915]

@@chenglu3314 He creates the right vibe himself. He will take tracks like ingredients turn them into a single beat that perfectly fits the vibe.

[@gelatinous6915]

@Christine Cordey Yes. The modern club standard, the Pioneer CDJ2000, has a 7-inch platter and a technics-size tempo fader. The very newest and most expensive models of CDJ are capable of "bpm sync" which automatically adjusts tempo and placement, but it's very finnicky and doesn't often work well. Every DJ still needs to know how to beatmatch the old fashioned way. Richie Hawtin doesn't really DJ per se, he is more of a live production act. He exports each element of his tracks (drums, leads, bass, etc) to a special DJ software called Traktor, which is better at syncing BPMs. Because he created the tracks himself, he can accurately calibrate them to be synced well. He then live-remixes them with drum machines, synths, samplers, and a crap ton of other devices.

[@gelatinous6915]

@Christine Cordey He is actually using not one, but two mixers there. They aren't regular DJ mixers, theyre studio-style ones.

[@tinamilen4353]

One of the craziest night i ever have with Richie!! The room was a true oven. He played with the sweat in his eyes and he did his job to the end. Thank youu!!

Your are really goddamn lucky girl. ❤️🤩Love from india keep banging 🕉️🕉️🕉️💥💥🔥🔥🔥.

[@Gavaldo]

It was insane! Dark and absolutely pulsating sound system with strobes just the way techno should be heard live and at a club like Fold should always be. I traveled from Edinburgh on my own to go to this. My first time at fold and I’m 47 started in 91 at 14 and first saw Richie at a club called pure in Edinburgh in winter 92 and man he took me from being a mainstream raver to the underground techno scene in 90 minutes of this new music I’d never heard before. I eventually years later was in a live pa during the mad storm years of 93/96 & had the pleasure to play alongside and meet Richie at the Rezerection event 2 with 15,500 people and he absolutely blew the marquee roof apart. When I saw him at Fold it was like I had been transported into another realm. Love love it. 🕊️✌️🕊️

[@edward2359]

WOW!, I'm from Los Angeles... AN Electronic Music -Old One- near 50... I have been away for Decades and this Sounds like the Ritchie I knew from the Late 8-'s 90's... But of course,.. Vastly newer in every way! Excellent!

[@cy2112cy]

Just pulled into a taco stand in Austin, Texas blasting this video. The woman living in the house by the stand came up and asked me to turn it down. Long Live Techno. I just can’t listen to it quiet.

[@voity81]

Did you tell her that it's against your religion to turn to it down? 😉

[@Pluppo]

And I opened up the taco stand Just to smell the smell Cookin' with the devil Fryin' down in hell

[@matthewmcree1992]

Richie's finally gone back to playing interesting and fun techno, not boring 2000s era minimal tech. I like minimal tech, don't get me wrong, but at the club this is the kinda shit I want to hear. Great set!

[@inf0tr8r]

ask yourself why.... because it's popular again, more popular than minimal is all

[@j.r.1903]

djs follow trends. even those "underground". if people play slow, they play slow, if people play fast, they play fast. only very few dont seems to care about others are doing

[@kwstasmp3234]

@@inf0tr8r true

[@EchoSoundsystem]

What makes this so special is he made a concious decision to bring back that underground club sound and have more fun with music about 3 years back. This is the result of that, not many artists can / will take it back to their roots and bring the energy of old back into the studio or into clubs. What a set this is.

[@richtusser]

Some of the most memorable moments in my life involve you, Richie. From listening to Plastikman in the 90s, to DE9 in 2001, to Timewarp Mannheim 2005, the entire m_nus hype and downfall, 5 days off Paradiso Amsterdam 2009 to the minus night in the Powerzone Amsterdam in 2009. Around 2005/2006 i've sent some mails to you (x@m-nus) containing some ideas about digital djing, loading samples into decks, playing multiple decks etc. We shortly exchanged some emails, and even 3 years later your team put me on guestlists, based on those mails. We have gone seperate ways, but seeing your uploads on YT always makes me melancholic to the nights we had together, even tho we never met - you will always be in my heart. You have created memories. All the best wishes for 2020 - may the next year be even better!

hands down the master, what a cool guy. i started following him back in the mid 90s. ive met him a couple times and seen him play live 4 or 5 times. one ofhis baddest sets i think is Block Festival, Tel Aviv Isreal back n 2017. its just mindblowing with fresh hot tracks.

[@jeremywinston7199]

@@gelatinous6915 yessir and he's been doing since teckno starting taking hold in early 90s definitely a teckno pioneer he was one of the first djs to integrate a laptop to create loops so once beats matched it could continuously play while adding more tracks/layering. He also invented/created the final scratch which by now might be obsolete. Either way he's always on the cutting edge of technology and pushing the envelope to create more sounds between the sounds etc. He started his own label in his twenties +8 records.

[@tubthump]

I saw him do his decks, effects and 909 thing a couple of times. Very disappointing to learn he played in Tel Aviv - that's worse than playing Sun City in the 1980s. That's him off my Christmas card list.

[@johnnyheyyy]

Feckin' RICHIE brings it so hard ...starts out on the journey like the pied piper, layin down the basics, establishing electronic dominance...then things get ticking along, and you start noticing yourself really wanting that wicked bass drop again and again...like bad...but he takes your hand and says "no friend, it's not time yet, follow me this way a little"... vibe architect....pulling you in gently, feeding you energy, bit by bit ... -Until, before you know it, Thad liquid-ey bass is hittin you so deep and dark and hard that all of a sudden you're like, f--k me mate, how the f--k did I get here and how on earth am I feeling these beats in such an all consuming way...dam I want to dance Keep bringin these hard ass beats Richie.... "Dreamfest" 1998 Southern Illinois camping rave in the literal middle of nowhere. Was fortunate to be able to see Richie Hawtin (Plastikman) do his thing. Felt like time stopped. Deep into the next mellinium, goin harder than ever!!! ✌️

[@michaels8597]

Thank you Richie...Thanks for playing some great music without all the dancing and hopping around,because i never understood what that has to do with DJing.Then again,he plays and performs with other gear/instruments live,like i do,so it's not just the usual form of mixing.

[@gelatinous6915]

It's an understatement to call him a DJ. His live acts involve a combination of 3-track mashups and multiple live looping interfaces.
