Richie Hawtin has announced a brand new tour in collaboration with his new mixer brand PLAYdifferently. Dubbed the Prototypes Tour will feature some of his good friends and the biggest names in house and techno like Joris Voorn, Maceo Plex, Dubfire, Chris Liebing and Joseph Capriati.

The tour will kick off on March 14 in Los Angeles and will continue primarily over the next three weeks in clubs across the United States and Europe. The tour will take over some of the biggest clubs in the world, ranging from Output in New York City to Fabric in London.

The tour is in honor of a new mixer that Richie Hawtin has created with British product developer Andy Rigby-Jones in partnership with Allen & Heath and the Audiotonix Group. On the tour all of the shows will feature the new piece of gear that Hawtin and his collaborators feel fits a need in the market. It was first unveiled at NAMM last January.
