DJ Tech Tools posted a great interview this week with influential music-maker and tech pioneer Richie Hawtin.
I’ve always been a huge Richie Hawtin fan, so it comes as no surprise that I loved every minute of this interview. I particularly enjoyed hearing his thoughts on the future of DJ’ing and how we must experiment with our tools to improve and develop new ones. Although Technics Turntables were considered to be the “standard” for DJ’ing 10 years ago, the technology is changing so often that it would hinder progress to claim any one tool as standard today.
“I think as people who are just looking at the equipment about what it does…but it’s not about what the equipment does, it’s about what you can do through that equipment. That’s where the soul is.”
