Bio :
Although of English and Canadian origins, Plastikman's
Richie Hawtin is closely connected with the Detroit techno
scene associated with figures such as Kenny Larkin, Stacey
Pullen, Eddie Fowlkes, and Derrick May. His Plus 8 label
-- co-owned and operated with John Acquaviva -- is one of
the most influential experimental dance music imprints,
and Hawtin's own tracks recorded as Plastikman and
F.U.S.E. are highly regarded as faithful, intelligent,
forward-stepping updates of the Detroit sound. A DJ of
renown and growing in repute as a remixer, Hawtin has seen
his visibility as one of experimental dance music's more
important and innovative figures rise ever since the
release of his debut Plastikman album, Sheet One.
Hawtin was born in the English borough of Windsor in the
early '70s, and when he was nine moved with his parents to
Canada. An early interest in electronic-based pop and
dance music turned serious when Hawtin discovered the
tracks being pumped out of his neighbor across the river,
Detroit. Beginning as a DJ in 1987, Hawtin quickly became
involved in composition through his direct involvement in
Detroit's tight-knit community of musicians and producers.
Combining early influences from European synth pop groups
like Kraftwerk and New Order with the stripped-down techno
futurism of Detroit innovators such as Juan Atkins and
Derrick May, Hawtin's tracks are as steeped in Motor City
tradition as they deviate from it in terms of texture and
rhythmic complexity.
Although 12" releases issued through Plus 8 and the
European NovaMute label have all been pretty dancefloor-
oriented, Hawtin's attention to techno-based listening
music has been just as focused through his full-length
albums. His ambitious series of mix albums -- including
1995's MixMag Live!, 1999's Decks, EFX & 909, 2001's DE9:
Closer to the Edit, and 2005's DE9: Transitions -- has
emboldened his reputation as a conceptualist DJ.
Review :
Extending the concept behind 2001's DE9: Closer to the
Edit, a project that utilized Final Scratch, DE9:
Transitions takes advantage of the increased possibilities
brought forth by the software Ableton Live. Richie Hawtin
further distorts the notion of a standard selection,
combining often-treated elements from several tracks at
once, to such an extent that he gives the amalgams his own
titles. The Detroit Grand Pubahs' "Dr. Bootygrabber,"
False's "River Camping," Galoppierende Zuversicht's
"Linguini al Denta," Heartthrob's "Golum," Ricardo
Villalobos' "A5," Sleep Archive's "Elephant Island," and
three of Hawtin's own productions are swept into this
brand-new vortex and come out as "Minimission," throwing
off the common response to hearing a track on a mix and
desiring to hunt it down on its original state. In other
words, you won't be able to obtain any of the commercially
available tracks within that track and hear them the same
way, and playing them all simultaneously would be as
pleasant on the ear as several sets of baby booties
flopping around in a dryer. Another way to observe the
extreme otherness is to scan the track credits and spot
the repeat contributors, like Villalobos, who shows up
over 20 times (thus potentially giving a mixtape
traditionalist like Nick Hornby a heart attack) and
probably wouldn't be able to identify all of his
appearances; while the reverberant rhythm of Stewart
Walker's "Lakewalking" and the ambient vocal wash of
Pantytec's "Micromission" can be sniffed out without much
difficulty, a lot of sources are used for a single note or
blip. But the real testament to Hawtin's vision is that
the mix is more linear than any other released in 2005,
riding a steady gradient that could fool non-geeks into
thinking that this is a standard-form techno mix with no
obvious inclusions, even though dozens of up-to-date
favorites and a few decades-old classics factor in. The
stability of the sequencing is such that listening in one
concentrated effort can make it more draining than the
average dance mix. If you do find that your appetite for
cushiony bass-drum thrums, knife-slit accents, wobbly-yet
-constricted noise effects, and displaced vocal samples
isn't completely satisfied, there's an MP3 on the
accompanying DVD that presents the mix in its original 95
-minute incarnation. The DVD also contains the mix in 5.1
Surround Sound, along with a couple videos, live material,
and an interview. Stripped of all context and background
information, Transitions remains a thoroughly thrilling,
multi-functional disc that places early-2000s minimal
techno in the best possible light.
