I remember when I first started travelling to Europe for gigs in the early 90s, when travel to and within Europe was still complicated and the clubbing scenes were different and more isolated. After the Berlin wall came down and Europe united in 1993 Techno really kicked off. The small underground scenes in each country formed connections into a vibrant community across national borders. Soon not only producer and DJs travelled from country to country but also fans to unite in international parties and raves. I’ve seen Techno Music transcend borders, cultures and languages, bringing together diversity. Since it’s birth in Detroit our scene has been welcoming people of all backgrounds, color and gender, sharing music and inspiration. I want to live in a world that is aware of its global community and responsibility, that believes in unity instead of walls and celebrates diversity, freedom and peace. To all my European friends and fans – GO VOTE and make a choice about the future you want to live in. VoteTogether #VoteTogetherEU #RaveTogether

From the intensity of small clubs to the energy of outdoor extravaganzas, it doesn’t get better than playing the music you love and watching it grow and take over the whole planet! What an adventure! Thanks to all of you Techno lovers & supporters and specially everyone at this magical gig a few weeks ago at Lafabrica in Córdoba Argentina. Track id: Cosmic Boys ‘The Bast’.

I can’t get enough of this track @matrixxman ‘Full Clipp’ SO DAMN GOOD! I tried to make the video feel like the track, dark and spooky!

Closing out with something new/old PLUS8 to a great crowd at Terminal V and finishing up 3 incredible weeks on the road with a beautiful “Dimensions” exhibition in London Matthew Hawtin The Store X and amazing gigs all across the planet Time Warp Guidi Commnity, Lafabrica, PM Open Air Music, FLORIDA 135, Industrial Copera and TOFFLER. #Hawtin #Since1990 #PLUS8records #Hawtin #Since1990 #PLUS8records #FUSE25

Throughout my career I’ve been very influenced and inspired by visual art. First through my brother @matthewhawtin and further by incredible artists some of whom I’ve been lucky enough to meet or even collaborate with like @dirty_corner This morning in Edinburgh, after an incredible raving night at @terminalvfest I had the pleasure of visiting @innes_callum at his studio. A living legend of sensitive visual subtraction & abstraction. Inspiring! #Hawtin #Minimalism #Reduction

Touring Spain over Easter had been a tradition of mine throughout the 1990s, so it was great to be back celebrating the holidays at two of the longest standing clubs in the country @industrialcopera @florida135official Both of these clubs have supported me for many many years and I’d just like to say THANK YOU to the teams and families behind these institutions, and of course, the crowds that fill them! #Hawtin #Since1990 #ClubTour #EasterTechno

😶 INCREDIBLE ! Time Warp 25th anniversary - lost in a world filled with beautiful frequencies! 🙏 to team TW! What a night!!!!!!! #Timewarp2019 #Hawtin #Techno #Rave

The early 1990s were an important time in the creative development of the Hawtin brothers. While I experimented in frequencies searching for my sonic identity, my brother Matthew Hawtin peered deep into his canvas through geometric color fields. The resulting audio and visual works fused together to form my 1993 F.U.S.E. Dimension Intrusion album & Train-Tracs EP. Now 25 years later we revisit that time with the first ever F.U.S.E. exhibition giving a glimpse of the feeling from that time. The exhibition is open from April 5-7, from 12-7pm daily at The Store X at 180 The Strand, London with free entry, and the box set can be pre-ordered from fuse.plus8.com FUSE Dimensions Exhibition at The Store X, 180 The Strand London Video by FACT Magazine The Vinyl Factory #FUSE25 #MatthewHawtin #FromOurMindsToYours #Plus8Records #DimensionIntrusion #TrainTracs #ComputerSpace #RichieHawtin #FUSE #Techno #IDM #DetroitTechno

In 1993 I released my first album Dimension Intrusion under my F.U.S.E. pseudon-ame. The album was a collection of my early music experiments in my U.T.K. studio which was “Under The Kitchen” at my parents house in Windsor, Canada. I was 22 years old, was already running my label PLUS8 with my partner John Acquaviva but still in search of my own unique sound, something between the futurism of Detroit Techno and the hypnosis of Chicago Acid house (with a lot of hours of Sci-Fi movies thrown in for good measure). Within Dimension Intrusion you can hear both the sounds of what had inspired me and the developing acidic overtones of what would become Plastikman. Today, 25 years later, I’m very proud and excited to release the Dimensions collection, featuring all those early experiments, the unreleased 1993 Computer Space album and accompanying art and essay from my brother Matthew Hawtin, whose paintings and inspiration have been part of my adventure since the beginning.
