The techno pioneer’s new back-to-basics live set uses modern lighting and sound design to recreate the feel of an underground club
In an era of huge screens and elaborate visual projections, Detroit techno pioneer Richie Hawtin has decided to look backwards to move forwards. His latest live show DEX EFX X0X goes back to the genre’s roots, a celebration of the dancefloor as a dark, mysterious place where you can lose yourself in the music. Using a combination of specially-configured lighting and immersive sound design, the Canadian innovator has created an experience that’s ‘more club than concert’. One of the highlights of Sónar 2024 in Barcelona, we can’t wait to bring this very special show to Lisbon.
