There’s been a slew of great video interviews conducted at this year’s Red Bull Music Academy, and we’ve been making good use of them for our weekly Friday Matinée feature. We’re happy today to tip you to yet another, this time with techno luminary Richie Hawtin, who, in this installment, regales RBMA attendees with tales of Detroit techno’s genesis, and how legendary tunes like his Plastikman mission statement, “Spastik,” came to be.
