RICHIE HAWTIN Mixmag Live @ Output NYC

MIXMAG's live stream in celebration of the PLAYdifferently MODEL 1 mixer with RICHIE HAWTIN at Output in Brooklyn.

For the very first time, Mixmag Live departed the UK and arrived in the United States. Deservingly, New York City was the first to host Mixmag Live abroad.

Brooklyn's premier nightclub Output hosted Mixmag Live's debut in North America, which honored a league of pioneers not only in techno, but also in music technology.

RICHIE HAWTIN led the charge at Mixmag Live, presenting his MODEL 1 PLAYdifferently mixer alongside a strong showing of talents including house artist Louie Vega, MODEL 1 ambassador Matador and rising star Julia Govor. The party's was celebration of the December Tech Issue which features Hawtin, Matador, Nicole Moudaber, Hito, Dubfire, Chris Liebing, Loco Dice, Paco Osuna and Fabio Florido.

For years, Hawtin has been a maestro of both the underground and also a sharp voice and mind behind the intertwined world of music and technology. He found his start in the iconic Detroit scene in the 90s, prominently with his work as Plastikman, pushing the sound of minimal techno to the forefront and helping to define the genre in its early stages.

After establishing his labels and leaving an imprint on the city of Detroit and the genre of techno, Hawtin went on to begin exploring the many realms with which music could be combined. He established ENTER., a specially curated party at Space Ibiza that called upon a wide variety of talents across five rooms in the nightclub. Eventually, his personal love of Japanese culture and specifically, of sake, was also integrated into the event and now remains an ongoing passion project of the Hawtin legacy.

Together, the league arrives as ambassadors of MODEL 1 and masters of their craft. It's set to be a special night in Brooklyn for this Mixmag Live celebration of all things music and technology with some of the underground's finest.

I wish todays generation of kids knew who he is. This mix is insane. Not a single "everybody is ready" or "jump with me" or cake trowing shit. This is pure electronic music. Just what it needs to be!

[Denariusjay]

This set doesn't even feel or sound like it's from this planet. Richie is definitely some advanced alien posing as a human to enlighten us to what true techno is.

[KingBanter]

Richie Hawtin is literally a genius. If he was a classical composer he’d be Beethoven, if he was in a rock band he’d be Pink Floyd . This man is so far ahead of everybody else in this game . Plus he’s one of the nicest guys you could ever meet .

[mallix]

This level of sophistication can't be acquired or simulated. It's earned. Over years of experience ☀️

EL MAS GRANDE DE TODOS LOS TIEMPOS....LLEVO 28 AÑOS ESCUCHANDO ELECTRONICA Y SIGO DISFRUTANDO COMO EL PRIMER DIA, DE SU

[rubberneck]

Richie’s sound is so unique. The man is an absolute craftsman. And he always looks like he’s having a great time with it. Always smiling and not trying “to look cool”.
One of the greatest DJ’s from the last 30 years or so...and still going strong! 💪

[rickymartinez]

Older co worker showed me this today. I’m glad I met bro fr

[My_Tracklist]

Master of TECHNO Masters... King of TECHNO Kings... personally, one of the best exponents of electronic music ... thanks Richie 🙏🙏🙏

[Prop]

Kind of a legendary set. Again. It defines Richie his style in this specific era. Watching it probably for the tenth time

[santiargento]

The best o the best. I've been following him since 92 and he's always ahead of everyone!

[rosspalumbo]

I was there.
This will always be a set that stays with me.
Richies low-end is something indescribable and this set is such a perfect example of it.
Well done Master Hawtin.

[pikaso]

Playing live, not mixing - Incredible

[hristoiliev]

[Kpchan]

Thumbs up for NO FAKE KNOBBING !!! Pure skills!

[estebangomezorozco]

I had never heard this degree of perfection on his performance, now I consider Hawtin's music as the result of a very advanced mind, a prodigious mind.

[agkiyani]

Im 50 years old... one of the early clubbers... Jaydee, Leftfield etc... and I just love this!!!

[heidijacobson]

RAWR!!!! It's rare to see someone doing what they love as a hobby, as work, something to pass the time when they are bored, to entertain themselves, their friends, their loved ones; a means to live by--to bring everyone together, no matter their age race gender abilities or non--when art is life the music flows through your soul. Nothing else matters in the world to you except for each passing immersive mesmerizing moment. EPIC. Monumental. Flipping Mental! I, for one, love it. Before I insouciantly flounce: Richie Hawtin is a LEGEND. PERIOD.

[akinkunmicook]

Wow! Listening 2 years later and his set still sounds fresh and relevant! Brilliant!!!!

[fugitivephilo]

One of his best hybrid live/dj sets of the late minimal era. I've seen Richie DJ and play live since the mid '90s, and this is one of the best of his digital mixes outside of Plastikman live during the Cube tour. His frequency manipulation and low end programming are insane, his use of efx absolutely brilliant and mad creative.

[alexpurtle]

Richie Hawtin is the benchmark to which every DJ should ascribe to!!  His inovation, creation, adaptation and proclamation paved a road for so many DJs after him!!  Windsor-Detroit days are still ringing in my ears!!!
