Next weekend, when Plastikman takes to the Coachella stage on Sunday night, it will mark only the second time the alter-ego of Detroit-Berlin techno legend Richie Hawtin has performed under the guise in six years (the first 2010 Plastikman show happened last weekend in Germany.)

To celebrate the return of one of the most compelling icons in electronic music, Hawtin personally selected Minus recording artist and fellow Midwest native Jeremy Jacobs (JPLS) to mix this special collection of Plastikman tracks taken from over a decades worth of classic minimal techno.

The new live electronic performance from Richie Hawtin, Plastikman Live, will be appearing at this years Movement 2010 (Detroit Electronic Music Fest, aka DEMF). The performance in Detroit will be one of a handful of dates that will form the first Plastikman Live world tour. The tour, which plans to take Hawtin’s already technologically advanced performances to the next level with the combination of visual art and interaction, debuts at the Timewarp festival on March 27th, 2010. Hawtin plans to put his experience with experimentation to use by taking what he has learned from past audio-visual-interactive shows (Plastikman @ Mutek ’04, Timewarp ’05-07, Contakt ’08) and combining them into a condensed one hour performance. The tour sets will be a reinterpretation of all Plastikman material from Sheetone to Closer in an attempt to recapture the essence of  the infamous early Plastikman parties in Detroit. An excellent addition to the 10 year anniversary of Movement, Detroit’s Electronic Music Festival.

Richie Hawtin is resurrecting Plastikman for live performances in 2010. The only confirmed date so far is Coachella. Richie has hinted at further performances. Could this mean new material as well?
