Richie Hawtin Plastikman Live stage tour with Future Music

[CitizenofTatooine]

Digital "deejays" disgust me, digital "djing" supporters too.

[jms20211]

@CitizenofTatooine This is not DJing. Its an actual live music performance. Much like a live band, except he is doing it with a modern twist.

[negro2011]

Santa....

[KOTARE33]

You are a fucking legend.

[FpSClanPS3]

what happend to the good old technics and a vestax mixer them days are going next it il be robots on stage lol

[MrFlyboygully]

@FpSClanPS3 this aint dj shiftte bro its house music we really on making great music and sometimes mixing i think the only house guy who scratches are laidback luke chuckie and james zabieala

[TheClarc]

@FpSClanPS3 Welcome to the future bro. We can't do anything :-??

[GuyWhoStoleYourGF]

Dear camera guy,

Focus the damn lens and leave it be, your "artistic" rack focus look like crap and were annoying.

kthxbye!!

[fwahstatus]

*drool*

[pdxraves]

Don't question perfection. He knows what he is doing.

[koneyn]

Why do I have this feeling Richie likes to make things more complicated than needed? :) Is all of that really necessary for relatively simple (in terms of arrangement/structure) tracks? Really, really hope to see him live doing it, tho.

[W4RW017]

@koneyn I think it has to do with, that, by making a system very complex you open up more possibilities, he can a greater veriaty of things with those tracks than just four

[Voyagermusix]

don't get fooled. he's using insanely much stuff, but he'd only need 3 or 4. 1 lemur, maschine, behringer controller and maybe iPad would be enough. Don't see why he uses 2 lemurs. I really love his music and his sets, but this kind of... stupid. I mean, deadmau5 could also use one lemur for each channel, instead he uses 1 (or 2 iPads atm) for 12! u get what I mean?

[cacophony1]

@Voyagermusix did you just put deadmau5 and ritchie into the same category OH NO HE DIDN'T.

[Voyagermusix]

@cacophony1 I'd say you can't compare them, I like them both, personally. I just think Hawtin is really using more gear than he'd need for doing what he does. But who cares- he can afford it :p

[TheClarc]

@Voyagermusix

He shows just how technology can be used in a veru fkn'' creative way..

With one iPad on every channel "as you said' you have a bigger control and manipulation space as you have on one iPAD on every channel.

He does with music what he wants, that why it's sounds how it sounds.

[Voyagermusix]

@TheClarc What I'm trying to say is that he has one lemur with just 2 buttons set  up on it. And I don't get that, sorry

[Voyagermusix]

@TheClarc But don't get me wrong, I think Plastikman is one of the most influential artists for EDM ever, and I love his stuff and already bought the Arkives.

[yorkieslover]

is that a behringer midi controller?

[MrdjHYPEr]

@yorkieslover Yes it is! BCR 2000 :)

[MrdjHYPEr]

@MrdjHYPEr BCF 2000, my bad

[altron64]

I'd love to try to haul that giant rig around. Have fun plugging it all up when you get to the venue. Its even more elaborate than deadmau5's live setup!

[DamianNeate]

haha, i understood almost nothing about what he was on about. i can play two songs on cdj 1000's and call myself a dj.

im such a tool lols.

[BrokN9]

@DamianNeate practise

[strictpolicy]

what is he using for a transient designer??

[ColorfulBeats]

this setup makese me insane

[Interestingcool]

Lots of stuff Ableton rocks

[buzzmerchant]

good man richie ... amazing some of the stuff ya throw out i a set ... keep it up ya legend :D

[flabbygrowlers]

What a beast.

[pAx611]

I think the cameraman got high!

[yliuta]

terrible camerawork. kept going out of focus with each zoom and focussing the wrong way!

[repeatle]

The guy at 2:35 looks exactly the way Richie Hawtin looked when he did the best Plastikman recordings (in the nineties). I think that guy is the REAL Plastikman!

[siwof]

@repeatle  more like Paolo Barbato :)

[plasmaforce11]

He makes it all look much easier than you think it is :P Fuck the haters! Richie Rules

[djkife]

all this, and the music still does little more than good old "oom-tsa oom-tsa".

[chilloutpod]

i thought richie only used traktor for his sets, dint know he switched to ableton. anyone know when this happened and why? jw

[MrZonorous]

@chilloutpod

Money, money...and more money!

Richie would endorse my nutsack if he could make a few bob from it!

[archietas]

@chilloutpod it is him doing a plastikman live show, not a richie hawtin dj set

[jrudd81]

@archietas Full Live plastikman, insane show...

[WorldWideDJs]

Great setup... This is beyond just djing

[wirezts]

"How can I use all of this sponsored equipment without it actually doing much so I don't lose my sponsors"

[froginsock]

Wicked show. the poppong sounds were amazing!

[TranceForTheFuture]

And as always with FM videos, I learn nothing, absolutely nothing.

[KidFiction101]

@TranceForTheFuture well put, they just go after big names not great producers and just end up talking about gear or favorite presets, lol

[TranceForTheFuture]

@KidFiction101 Exactly, its a waist of time.

[flabbygrowlers]

@TranceForTheFuture that's because you like trance, you twat.

[TranceForTheFuture]

@flabbygrowlers So the reason I cant get all the pieces together and produce a track after watching this is because I like trance? Dude, you are embarassing yourself.

[pitbeatz]

@TranceForTheFuture This is for people that already "knows". If you want to learn, go to school.

[Tato9412]

Wish i could be in Australia right fucking now! :P

[suraxis]

Sweet blurry vid.

[teodelilla]

and unlike alot other laptop shows whic are mabe taking two channels or four channels out we're running nearly the whole board here!!!!!! ahhahahahaahahahahahaahhaha wwwwooooooowwwwwwwwwwwww

[makacwb]

Master!

[minimaltechful]

@DangerRifai well I agree with you ! I went to TImewarp to and this experience was probably one of the best technologic video experience :-)

[Gyuulia]

O_0

[wobbygongman]

oooo shit

[alexofalaw]

Just press play and let people listen to music you tart!

[TheClarc]

@alexofalaw This is just fine as you said ! (For people used to winamp and other mediocre things and stuff)

Have a good day ! And enjoy your usual, uninteresting and unevolving life.

[Dain22]

Okay, now get us an inside video-tour of the Daft Punk pyramid. :)

[ballyslapface]

@Dain22 google it :) theres an amazing photo by mixmag that explains each part briefly

[djvartan]

Camera man, what the hell are you doing?

[JordanGrierson1]

Richie knows his stuff

[mischpappe]

what the hell is going on? So much stuff?

i dont understand the half?

why a big mixer for seperating into sounds like drums, synth, vocals, etc.?



[DjLoko190988]

nice setup but i think that the ipad is just for showoff, you can use an akai controler to control the shit out of Ableton. And i think that so much gear does give you amazing versatility which is what plastikman is known for.

[Tand0oriCh1cken]

@DjLoko190988 I think its because he likes to tweet the songs he's playing I don't know.

[DjLoko190988]

@Tand0oriCh1cken could be :D , makes ppl think hes bustin his ass mixing and actually hes chating LOL ;)

[DjEvolux]

I dislike his sound. Fucking Too minimal without sense. Axwell Rocks!

[DjLoko190988]

@DjEvolux his music is very subtle and slowly evolving to make one big picture, i also dont really like plastikman, tho i love minimal.

[pyungiedude]

@DjEvolux Agree with that!

[ArniieeCDJ]

over-complicated shit.. Really, you dont fucking need all this crap to make a good show.

[DangerRifai]

@ArniieeCDJ Yes, you do. I was at the first one he did at Time Warp in Mannheim. It literally was THE most amazingly immersive experience. You can't criticise it unless you've experienced it.

[gilmourish]

@ArniieeCDJ well you can give a good show with only a laptop. But that's not very stimulating... Richie was always a megalomaniac artist and I see nothing bad with that. Rockers in the 80's didnt need fireworks on their concerts but they still used it..

[RedOrangeSystem]

nice
