Richie Hawtin
From Within
Richie Hawtin makes minimal acid techno music.
You'd be forgiven for assuming that living in the small Canadian city of Windsor in the late 1980s and early 1990s detached him from the wider electronic music making community, but Windsor was only a few miles south of Detroit. Across the river, the Belleville Three were forging Detroit Techno. Records, equipment, and likeminded friends weren't hard to come by.[1]
His 1993 album Dimension Intrusion was part of Warp's seminal Artificial Intelligence series.
The next year, he collaborated with Pete Namlook to make a still largely undiscovered ambient techno gem, From Within, released on Namlook's obscure Fax +49-69/450464 label.
