Minimal Techno, Experimental Techno, Electronica, Detroit Techno,
Ambient Techno, Acid Techno, Techno
DJ, Producer
His style formed by a fusion of the barest acid house and straitjacket-tight Detroit techno,
Richie Hawtin (Plastikman) became one of the most influential artists in the world of techno
during the 1990s, even while sticking to out-of-date synth dinosaurs like the
Roland TB-303 and TR-808.
Hawtin combined lean percussion and equally spare acid lines into haunting techno anthems
that kicked with more than enough power for the dancefloor while diverting headphone
listeners as well. While even his early recordings were quite minimalistic,
he streamlined the sound increasingly over the course of his recording career;
from the early '90s to the end of the decade.

You can see him play live with records (two decks), laptop + Sound machines + with his great music,
all mixed togheter is something really worth to dance!

Thanks to producers like Plastikman the Techno music is what we hear now a days.
