December 2018 Tour Dates #CLOSElive http://close.richiehawtin.com PLAYdifferently #PLAYdifferently #MODEL1

My current thoughts on a number of topics! #RichieHawtin The Talks

The last CLOSE Live show of 2018 captured in a moment of intensity. An incredible night at Avant Gardner reminding me of the atmospheres of legendary dark 1990s Brooklyn warehouse parties! Throbbing pulsating Techno in its purest form. Thank you to the Mirage/Avant-Gardner & Output & Paradigm Talent Agency teams for helping us realize this special one-off show for North America, to my team for their relentless support and to @amelie_lens & Nastia for their on-point energized sets!!! What a night!! Photos by Jeff Elstone & Yuliya Skya Avant Gardner #CLOSElive #WarehouseRave #Techno #BrooklynRaving

Memories of CLOSE Live in London at the Roundhouse - Looking forward to TOKYO CLOSE Live concert this Saturday October 27th, 16:00- 21:00 at MIRAI TOKYO - 未来東京 Audiovisual Media Art Show (TOYOSU PIT) - Supported by: Ishijima and alva noto playing ‘UNIEQAV’ Tickets & Info: 未来東京 MIRAI TOKYO -Audiovisual Media Art Show-　　 #RichieHawtin #CLOSElive #Tokyo #Japan #Techno #Acid #TB303

THANK YOU to everyone who came out to support and experience the CLOSE Live performances in Paris L'Olympia, Glasgow O2 Academy Glasgow and London Roundhouse. The venues were a little different than the clubs or festivals where I normally play but I believe it was an important change to present CLOSE in all of its focused intensity. The past three days gave me the opportunity to flex my sonic muscles and take everyone on adventures down dark twisting tunnels exploring my own interpretation of what Techno in 2018 can sound, feel and look like. Definitely looking forward to seeing where this journey takes us all in 2019. Sincere thanks to my team for helping yet another project come to life and making dreams come true, I couldn’t stand up there without knowing that you guys all have my back! 👍 Ali M. Demirel Itaru Yasuda Johannes Kraemer Matthias Lumpy @oblivien_video_production @benturnergraphite Lundie Kostas Bolle - Only 2 more shows for 2018 - October 27 Tokyo / December 8 NYC Avant Gardner! #richiehawtin #CLOSElive #playdifferently #plastikman #techno #tb303 #acid #lolympia #roundhouse #o2academyglasgow

Blistering frequencies, lights and visualizations bouncing around in circles turning everyone inside out at the Roundhouse London last night >>> CLOSE Live >>> EPIC! #richiehawtin #CLOSElive #playdifferently #tb303 #acid #techno #roundhouse #london #plastikman

Thank you Paris for an incredible evening last night and allowing me to take you on an adventurous trip into my imagination. A huge honour to perform CLOSE in such a legendary concert hall L'Olympia, and to such an open & enthusiastic audience! Big respect to The Peacock Society for their continuous support of my projects! #RichieHawtin #CLOSElive #PLAYdifferently #peacocksociety #acid #tb303 #paris #lolympia

Who doesn’t like their name in lights? Looking forward to tonight’s CLOSE live concert in Paris at the L'Olympia! #richiehawtin #CLOSElive #PLAYdifferently #de9 #acid #tb303 #paris #peacocksociety

TM404 / Tilliander / Mokira etc does one hell of an all hardware live show. He carts around so many toys and basically plugs them in, presses start and takes everyone on a deep trippy ride. I love the feel of his shows, the sound is always filled with weird melodic lines coming out of multiple Roland TB303 machines. Anyone who knows me a little bit knows that I LOVE the sound of the TB303 so it just felt right to invite him on the #CLOSElive tour, Paris, Glasgow and London. Also, I want people who come to the show to see two different shows that push the idea of what “live” electronic music can be. I see many live shows AND DJ shows these days which seem to be more pre-programmed or planned out. I love spontaneity, the surprise and anticipation of taking the crowd and myself on a new sonic adventure every set and I believe that is also the intention of TM404! Let’s see, I’m quite sure these nights will be full of surprises! 10/10 Richie Hawtin CLOSE - Spontaneity & Synchronicity à L'Olympia, Paris 11/10 CLOSE - Spontaneity & Synchronicity at O2 Academy, Glasgowity 12/10 CLOSE - Spontaneity & Synchronicity at Roundhouse, London #RichieHawtin #TM404 #PLAYdifferently #MODEL1

New York has been important to me since the early 1990s. From the early Storm raves, record shopping at Sonic Groove, and meeting new friends like Joey Beltram and Sven Väth at New Music Seminar, to years of great times at different clubs and venues from Brooklyn to Manhattan. I’m looking forward to presenting CLOSE at Avant Gardner, a show where I feel you get to see me at my best!

Lorenzo Blender from Blend Athens on this Wednesday’s 25th anniversary celebrations at Cavo Paradiso Mykonos: “Richie Hawtin at Cavo Paradiso has become a high-point of every summer in Mykonos since he started playing for us in 2003. He always brings amazing vibes and energy – a total explosion. And always until very late in the morning! Rich started to perform at Cavo when the club used to play a more progressive sound or straight-up house music. The party was always special, and as techno became more popular around the world, every year his party grew stronger and stronger and became a very special part of our summer. His appearance always brings many people from Athens who fly to Mykonos just for one night. We don’t see that with many other DJs, he’s the master of his universe! I remember many times where the club would continue until 11am and nobody left. We usually close at 7.30am so they were pretty wild times, the vibe just went on and on. It always feels like a family with Rich and his team… His history with Cavo is so strong, epic nights for the last 15 years, unforgettable and crazy memories. It is for this reason it makes sense that our big 25th Anniversary party this Wednesday is with Rich and his long-time friend Paco Osuna. It will be a very special and emotional night for everybody.” 18/07 25yr Anniversary party w/ Richie Hawtin & Paco Osuna #RichieHawtin #PacoOsuna #CavoParadiso2018

I’ve always been very interested in how far you can push DJing, and my new show CLOSE is an audio-visual experience that allows me to experiment much more than my regular DJ shows and hopefully by the set-up and the visuals, it actually allows you to get closer to what is actually happening… Upcoming CLOSE Dates: 14/07 CLOSE - Spontaneity & Synchronicity at Mad Cool Festival 27/07 CLOSE - Spontaneity & Synchronicity at Audioriver Festival 18/08 CLOSE - Spontaneity & Synchronicity at Lowlands Festival 10/10 Richie Hawtin - CLOSE - Spontaneity & Synchronicity à L'Olympia 11/10 CLOSE - Spontaneity & Synchronicity at O2 Academy, Glasgow 12/10 CLOSE - Spontaneity & Synchronicity at Roundhouse, London #RichieHawtin #CLOSElive #PLAYdifferently
