Beatportal video interview: Richie Hawtin goes green

[DeZorgenkindjes]

Thumps up when you see this as proof that Dj-ing can permantly mutilate the shoulder en neck

[bosstomy]

I thought he was gay didan t know he has any kid s ...

[mpr1985]

2007 lol before Climate Gate!

[adolescent900]

he is worried about climate?

global warming is just a blanket for global policy.

weather change is natural.

[dirthawk]

@adolescent900 read the science before jumping on the conspiracy theory, it's a bit harder to do but these climate researchers goes where the evidence leads them. youtube-user pothler54 has good vids on the topic.

[FringedOOTmaFrang]

@adolescent900 yes weather change is natural. the acidifiction of our oceans, which causes carbonate to deplete, destroying the base organisms of the ocean eco system is not however. Without that we lose over half our source of oxygen. That plus the effect of deforestation upsets the natural balance of trees abilities to absorb c02 and water. Since the planet is warming and the ice caps are melting, where land/water where the ice once was absorbs more hear than the ice did, accelerating the prob

[FringedOOTmaFrang]

@adolescent900 i should also mention that warming of the planet over all effects weather systems more drastically than the natural systems. it can make dry areas more dry, making it harder to grow crops and wet areas more wet, flooding farm land, flood towns, causing mould which spoils crops. every tree which is cut down makes flooding worse as it absorbs water. if you think i am wrong add me on facebook to debate the facts if you want. my name is patrick neville.

[paspali2]

richie hawtin es el numero 1

[IrisLaRayitaVerde]

@paspali2 ademas de verdadd¡¡¡ =)

[alexfeelsducks]

He's got quite a strange accent. I can hear the stereotypical 'aboot' from his time in Canada, but he'll occasionally do a whole sentence with a British accent.

[electrohorst]

There is so much bullshit in this video, I dont even know where to begin ...

[TheLeetenant]

@electrohorst aka the global warming lie...

[verapamil07]

@electrohorst Start with yourself

[ManuNavalondj]

Que hay de que dicen que richi hawtin es gay, y que lo que hace es una reputísima mierda? Que hay de cierto en todo ello?

[iliketoeatbeef]

@gburke6969 AMEN

[MrErickortiz]

richie respect

[Sureless19]

you're so right :) Richard.

[djtwintip]

I see alot of thumbs downs down here, and for good reason, most of these comments... fuckin hell. Who cares if he is bi, of course he goes where the money is, and he is certainly no eco fascist.

@cornerking75, Plastikman is making his world re-premier at Timewarp in Germany, and I can't wait for it!!!

[jamerfunk]

.....your Children! Protest the Chemtrails sprayed in the Atmosphere daily, going on World-Wide. Use Big Giant screens to Show video in your gigs to inform the youth of the Poisoning of them via Vaccination, Mercury Fillings in Teeth, Poisoned Foods, Macky-D's, Bur-king, and how there's no nutritional value, but full of excito toxins, to confuse the mind, etc. You must control the full show, or the Gloominated will fuck it all up. Then your gigs will be legend, same as music.

[jamerfunk]

Why is Floride in the Toothpaste and the Water Supply. It is to stop the Kundalini Awakening inside the Human Electrical System. It directly attacks the Pineal Gland in the Brain, along with Mercury & Aliminum. Protest the Governments poisoning people. Then your gigs would turn into what you always Dream they should be. You know when the place just goes off. No fake screaming Ego-look-at-me's, who ain't dancin. That is what the people who control green peace do to the Children.....continued.....

[jamerfunk]

Ritchie's Music is great. But get Facts about these Carbon Cap'n'Trade fake company's. Al Gore just Happens to be in line to make Billions from issueing you a certificate allowing you to polute more. Limited Liability insurance is the same thing. You cannot buy your way out. No the Gloominated Controllers should step aside, so we can bring Zero point Energy to the Globe. Protest The Floride in the Public Water Supply's of the West. If Electronic Music got involved......continued above...........

[hawtin219]

you know how many drugs this man has done???? he's probably just having a flashback. j/j richie lol

[cornerking75]

where did plastic man go...

[DannyRind]

and you can always count on him to be going where the pound notes are blowing...

[DannyRind]

The best record Richie Hawtin played was actually a pizza

[FX23]

oh yeh people are so bad! breathing out co2! might as well top ourselves!

this guys a bloody eco fascist!

i wonder where all the money spent on carbon credits go hmmm??

go investigate people - you are been scammed!

[sistematic1]

wait ...is he gay?

[BerolPermenantMulti]

Yeah I think he's "Bi", I wouldn't really know though, not being one of his mates or anything. But yeah it seems a bit strange, this little interview, he goes a bit harre krishna ish with that happiness unhappiness bit. It's just a shame that the people encumberred with producing the data about this whole global warming thing have gotten totally out of control and are essentially just making stuff up as they go along, it really makes it difficult to get behind.

[sistematic1]

this fucking guy is coll so shut the fuck up all of u..........he is the best techno dj out there.....

[fullonouwe]

minimal you mean dipshit @sistematic1

[ooohrob]

SOMEBODY GIVE THIS GUY A NOBLE PEACE PRIZE lol

[Flexitina]

good man! right on!! so is everybody going to start making psy trance again now?:)

[Badl2ussian]

please no.

[timks07]

Its all gone digital, get over it....

[blip0]

Nice words, but doesn't mean nothing!

what is this change he is talking about? Things are changing slowly and infortunetely electronic music becomes today an industry. People like Richie are promoting this industry. He is one of some most powerfull in it. Big respect of Richie, but the techno is now going down because of this industry! That is embarassing!

[Compastral]

Congratz Richie!

[Jionys]

it was very interesting and motivating to watch this video... but not reading the comments... it seems that not much of this people got what Richie was trying to say...

we need to change ourselves first in order to make a real change on the way we are living our lives.

[hckfrdandfriends]

rich,

dont talk shit.

you are destroying the whole techno scene, now its a big business (ni & beatport - aquiviva, buffalo bill and u) - a fucking mp3 industry - no more culture, individualists and so on.

beatport is only selling tracks, where its more less save to earn a lot of money from it.

individualists are not supported by beatport.

and pls dont talk about CO2. the only thing you can do is, you should fly - anyway you are paying a bit to athmosphere.

[EspritDeMusique]

he plays minimal and experimental, not so much techno. sorry to burst your bubble.

[ooohrob]

without the decks in front of him...id think he's a junkie

[cousiwa09]

FUCK, HE IS BEAUTIFUL..........

[senssacion]

POR QUE NO SE INGLES!!! :(

[ceste28]

yo se ingles y no he pillado casi nada jejej.

[charlyjay2006]

He's not gay then... or what?

[r3nc3k]

It's very strange to watch Richie without decks :))

[arresteermij]

@r3nc3k you mean without his apple ipad.

[djmjm14]

He is a great Dj/Producer and he says it the way he see's it honestly!Peace

[eazy2462]

It's great he cares about our environment and planet because people are so ignorant to it...

Our (grand-) kids will have serious problems if we keep polluting the air and nature like this you know...

It's good he talks about it because people will listen to HIM, not me, not some small dude posting on youtube...

[eazy2462]

He is not gay, ... Why would people think that ? and even so, would it make a difference ? Would people not like his music anymore ?

He is happily married with a nice girl...

He and his music deserve a lot of respect

[Shanomoreno]

I don't want to disappoint you, but there's a video of richie and sven vath kissing each other, also there is a very rather suspicious video with richie and ricardo villalobos also, although doesn't mean that is 100% gay, i think he is bi-sexual specialy when he drink or takes stuff.

[514spiro]

his gay...but i love him

[jaxxie79]

Is Richie a dad?

[ibizaboyz]

richie hawtin talking about global warming seems kind of weird. green power at the minus office... how about green power at the cocoon club or the time warp? all this huge partys are a prime example for wastefullness. but i guess his environmental awareness isnt so great that he would want to change anything like that.

[charliecooper06]

yeah does anybody know where to get that shirt??

[gustavoanmosura]

Is one Amazing men i love this gay ! ok every body move Berlin!! with Richie

[mrbiggles48]

Good piece of PR Richie. You publicise the climate offset company. They publicise you to a wider audience and you all make a packet off the back of 'caring for' the environment.

[mrbiggles48]

And you get to seem like or even pretend to be really nice and caring people at the same time helping you to sell even more. A double winner.

[PinkElephantsx2]

i thought rich was gay ???

[mrbiggles48]

That's true... Or certainly bi. I think these days he has exclusively homosexual relationships though... He certainly seems happier in himself than in his gauche bonehead and specs days.

[raulduke138]

und das aus dem mund eines typen der sich plastikmann nannte (nennt?)

[moremagma]

Signs of consciousness:

can't believe it!

Something is gonna change in the techno world?

Hope so...

[reomeo1980]

I think the ball is starting to roll sum what, there are so many stupied idiots out there that cant even fatham the idea of in depth ideas or nor care, there all trapped in there own little pea brains of a world< but like he said you gotta start sum where and at least hes trying...

[909techno]

what a joke. suckered - and by the way, i'm not a hawtin hater. full respect in other regards.

[craftymusic1]

cool t-shirt.. anyone knows where to get it?

[jesussmokes2]

start beeing individual...

[antichris78]

'how can this translate to the general public?' by us listening to the words he just said maybe?? ffs

[pimp29061983]

i would fuckin love to be hawtins ked...the lucky wee shite i've spent thousands travelling to see him all over the world!!!!

[saturn1returns]

She must think we're thick.

[jul80]

[Timhumphrey45]

his hair is a good enviormental haircut

[ybot1983]

[w8fh33dkajlfe99faaa]

pretentious? moi?

[kka0]

[NashReds]

[nativestyle26]

[onemoretone]

[firizzy]

future interwiev

[reomeo1980]

Yeah cause theres people like you in the world who dont give a shit you retard

[yq5ryfct]

errr, doesn't he fly all over the world? Flying from London to NY releases the same amount of carbon as driving a car for a year...

[onemoretone]

i guess you were also too busy watchin the people disappear behind richie lol.....

[nic7nic]

Yes, but its about flying (living) CO2 neutral.

A simple example: if you drive 100 KM youll have to plant a tree. In this way, youll get rid of the CO2 you produced.

[MinimalWolf]

i want that shirt.. .!!! !

[bodymovin08]

Shut up and play some music, damn hippy.:P

[justindr660]

Check out Phokus Group and Sanctioned Records. They have known about this take on things for a long time. Conscious electronica is not for haters with no thinking.

[bighibirdy]

Richie Hawtin Nr.1 Arenele Romane Bucuresti

[saderlan]

totally agree

i think greenpeace doesn't really do anything ...

think about it, giving money to a global organization for keeping the world clean ?

it doesn't have any sense

the point of being counscious about the actual polution problem is to start ourselves doing something

but as always people usually think "well, who cares ? anyway i won't be alive in 100 years" ... including me sometimes.

let's try to keep our planet clean ... or at least not so dirty

[DJBonc]

he looks great here

[minimalississsissimo]

Grande Richie Hawtin 6 un MITO....!!!

[Mikeswimsalot]

"Shut up and dance"

[ofernandez1983]

great person

[123stefannnnn]

Great video, Hawtin talks like someone who is passionate about climate change. That he really wants to do something about it and has spent a very long time thinking and reading about it. Rather then someone who was paid to be a spokesman and just reads out waht they are told to. It is fantastic that Hawtin wants to help the world so much, he is such an influential man that he is defiantly the right person to make an impact on the world.

Lets just hope he does a Hawtins Save The World Tour. :"D

[jdavid044]
