Richie Hawtin has quietly working studiously on some new material and today, the producer, DJ has unveiled it as part of a brand new album From My Mind To Yours, which calls upon his various monikers Childsplay, Boxx, Robotman, R.H.X., Fuse, Circuit Breaker and most famously Plastikman to put together a full LP.
There have been signs that Hawtin was gearing up to release some new music soon. A few months ago, several white label releases appeared on dance music label Plus 8, which appeared to be from Richie Hawtin. Plus 8 was founded by Hawtin and John Acquaviva in 1990. Hawtin's camp denied it, but earlier this week, suspicions were confirmed that they were him and to be included in this new compilation.
In a statement, Hawtin, dished on how he put this LP together and how freeing it was to revisit the mindset he had from some of his older monikers.
"For me personally the anniversary was an inspiring moment to get back into the studio with similar intentions as in those early days. I was very happy to be back where it all started. Equipped with updates of my original studio 'friends' and combined with the latest recording technologies, I then stripped the setup down to its basic components and found freedom within those limitations," he explained.
"No real plans, just the everyday process of getting up, turning on the gear and pressing record. In that environment I had the opportunity to revisit the personalities that I had explored earlier in my career, re-defining my own interpretation of techno. From My Mind To Yours."
