I'm not a that big a fan of his and never really was, but the amount of abuse he gets is unreal. All because in the 90s he pandered to the crowds of a couple of harder techno clubs, hard techno fans think they own him and assume that's what he was born to play. It's actually quite funny, it's like being in the gabba scene again and hearing people talk about Carl Cox, haha.
na mate just the music he plays and makes now is quite frankly CRAP! oh yea wasent just onabout minus orange the were others you no , look each to are own mate ive been around long enough to see the best and the worst of richie hawtin so i guess its just me each to there own aye!

ive witnessed this first hand in ibiza i went along check him out and er naaa dancing around with a flower in my hair to somthing that goes beep beep beep bop bop , jesus my washing machine sounds better and then if you time it right mabey the dinga ling on ya microwave can be used .
