Plastikman

Plastikman is the main recording identity for [placeformed]Windsor, Ontario, Canada[/placeformed]'s Richie Hawtin (aka Plastikman, Fuse, Circuit Breaker, from within to name a few). since his debut as states of mind and fuse in 1990 to the launch of Plastikman in [yearformed]1992[/yearformed], his sound has developed through early connotations of acidic techno and extreme levels of energy (1993's 'Spastik') to sonic experiments in futuristic-rhythms and off-world ambience (1998's 'Consumed' LP). More minimal approaches were evident through his year long 12-record project 'Concept 1' from 1996. His recording attention is matched head-on by his groundbreaking DJ performances, which incorporate turntables, effects processors and additional instruments (the 909 Drum Machine and Roland SH-101 Synthesizer). His world-renown enhanced DJ set-up of decks, efx & 909 has kept pushing the boundaries of what a DJ can do by increasing the potential of creativity through once again, technology.
