Richie Hawtin and Minus are currently preparing to wrap up their US Tour in Chicago on July 5th. Minus set out to educate the US market by DJing in 10 major US cities in less than two weeks. Techno music has faded out during the past decade, and made room for a more commercial electro sound. Richie Hawtin and Minus have produced a sound that is minimal and less mainstream than other electronic music we hear on the radio. Hawtin discussed music, business and history during the International Music Summit “Back To Business” – check out the videos after the post brought to you by Mixmag.
These four clips are a must watch for anyone interested in being a producer of change, inspiration and innovation within the music world. Whether it is as a DJ, producer, or through the fostering of new technological ideas related to music or the business that comes along with it.
I love Richie’s views on the whole mobile phone, social networking, and ownership aspects of music in today’s world.
