Slices - Pioneers of Electronic Music: Richie Hawtin DVD Premiere in Detroit on

11.22

________________________________________

The launch of this new DVD special series, Slices - Pioneers of Electronic Music

celebrates in detail the life and work of prominent artists or "pioneers" in the

global electronic music scene.



The first edition is a documentary film based on electronic producer, performer

and industry icon, Richie Hawtin. The film draws from the important stages and

events in Richie Hawtin's personal and artistic life, revealing the journey of

an introverted and transplanted computer-minded teen that develops by way of

Detroit's radio and records fueled by pure driven passion into a successful

techno-entrepreneur and global DJ entertainer.



Slices examines a career that has now spanned almost twenty years, exploring his

role in the Detroit techno scene, co-founding and establishing the legendary

Plus 8 label with John Acquaviva and the international cult that sprang up

around his distinct alter ego, Plastikman. Friends, family, colleagues and

Richie Hawtin himself tell their stories relating early DJ experiences, his

first encounters with role models like Derrick May and Jeff Mills, his move to

New York City and then later to Berlin, and much more.



Assembling an extensive archive of both new and unreleased photos, video and

exclusive interviews, the film provides an extraordinary insight into the life

and career of one of the most successful activists in techno history: Richie

Hawtin.
