From his early career as Plastikman to founding record label M_nus, Richie Hawtin has had a colossal impact on global underground dance music. Radio 1 recently broadcast a fascinating documentary on the man, which you can now stream through Soundcloud. Listen below to Radio 1’s Heidi talking to Richie about his life to date, ranging all the way from Detroit to New York to Berlin.
