Search - Richie Hawtin :: De9/Combined (Spkg)

Japanese pressing is scheduled to contain one bonus track. More than 15 years after he began exploring new frontiers in electronic dance music, Hawtin is redefining the idea of what a DJ can be. From his stark techno tracks on the Plus-8 label to the spectral acid minimalism of his releases as Plastikman, Hawtin has always been, as he puts it, "searching for what?s next". Now his new mix album has made another quantum leap of the imagination. DE9: Transitions combines everything from original Hawtin productions to unreleased tracks straight from the studios of cutting-edge producers like Ricardo Villalobos, Marc Houle, Daniel Bell, Alex Under et al and adds flashes of classic techno moments including Robert Hood, K. Alexi, Sahko, Pan Sonic etc, which inspired him when he was a young clubber. Most of the tracks are fundamentally transformed from their original states. Third-Ear. 2005.
