I think he meant that the Plastikman show took over as best show he's seen....

dude the same thing happened to me! I couldn't stop uncontrollably laughing for periods of time the entire set. I don't know if it was euphoria, or the low-end bass frequencies triggering some kind...

Second. 7-years for me at Coachella - not Underworld in 2003, not Daft Punk in 2006, not Radiohead or Kraftwerk in 2004 - no one put together the combination of visual and aural intensity that the...

It's called 5-HTP people.

Go to Movement over Memorial Day:

Homecoming for Richie - first time performing as Plastikman in Detroit since 1994.

It will be absolutely epic - moreso than last night, if...

This is what I've been kicking around in my head that I'm not entirely settled on, mainly because I am not a Gorillaz fan, nor do I have more than a basic knowledge of their bigger songs. I guess...

PLASTIKMAN LIVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Richie delivered.

All the hype, the anticipation, the convos about would it be danceable techno, or disjointed minimal, etc - he blew that room to...

bummer - as an aside, Plastikman delivered everything hyped, and then some. Visuals, sound, intensity - he closed the Sahara tent proper for the weekend on Sunday. Absolutely destroyed it.

I...

PLEASE...I NEED VIDEO!!

This was one of the most bizarre concerts I’ve ever witnessed. I can’t say Sly was high for sure… maybe he was high on life. He came on 30 minutes late, launching into a...

sooooo unbelievably stoked I took the time to get in the tent and get close for Miike Snow - they were tight, loud, and fantastic! They took the songs from the album to a complete other level live -...

Loved their set! Sound was terrific even back as far we were - they sounded so tight, so much fun!

btw I was not on drugs.

I feel that is worth noting.

Richie ripped my fucking world apart.

Dark, evil, bombastic.

Gut-shaking, mind-wobbling, relentless bass.

That's all I can muster right now - hands-down the best set of the festival for me,...

go to www.plastikman.com then 'VIDEOS' then 'TIMEWARP 2010'

prepare to have our minds BLOWN on Sunday night

The Do Lab needs to stay out in Black Rock City.

Anyone see New Order a few years ago on the main stage?

I thought they blew.

Go back to the Hacienda fellas.

artifakts (bc) represents the last installment of the trilogy of albums that started with sheet one and musik. initially, I had envisioned the plastikman project as one album release, sheet one. ...

I would say this quote pretty much covers it:

"i joined at 3.30 ricardo and was out of my mind until 6 o clock were i have to take a break. at 8 oclock i joined plastikman, after 30 minutes i...

Pi ng Pong from Closer - fucking fuck me that track is going to destroy live.

I feel like I'm watching an alien abduction or the Apocalypse when I see these videos.

When I see the pictures, it...

Exactly. Idiot uneducated kraut crackheads who are pissed because it's not Collabs 3000 160 bpm death march techno. Clearly he is performing under the Plastikman moniker to differentiate from a...

Seriously I can't even put into words the intensity of that video. I can't even begin to imagine what that is going to feel like live. He is going to rip our fucking minds out!!!!

UN-FUCKING-BELIEVEABLE

I know...in 24 hours youtube is going to be littered with video from Timewarp, and I don't know if I want to watch it...

...but there's no way I'm going to be able to not!!!

This lineup is INSANE!! Monika Kruse, Liebing, Speedy J, then Collabs - Jesus talk about a beating...then Plastikman LIVE, then Ricardo, Carola and Loco Dice tagging for four...

Hey where did you get this pic?

It is from Control, I had a copy of it but I believe I lost it and would love to get my hands back on it for memory's sake!!

Man that just captures that party so...

Yep - Plastikman live at Movement! Unreal!! First time he has performed as Plastikman in Detroit since 1994!!!

I saw Richie at DEMF 2002 (Movement was formerly Detroit Electronic Music Festival)...

...Kraftwerk in the Sahara 2004

Sat in a heap outside the tent instead...LOL

Let me tell you though - Radiohead right before them was absolutely mind-melting...but they weren't the only thing...

Live sets/PAs in electronic music rarely, if ever, go longer than 90 minutes. It is too exhausting a process to push longer than that - they are creating all that music live on the fly - in this...

This just made my fucking hair stand up on end.

I CANNOT WAIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The Offspring.

I am as amped as you are bro! It is incredible to even try and conceptualize what he is going to try and do. And no one truly knows what he is going to do. But you can count on him pushing the...

Here's a great technical description of what Richie tried to do the last go-around at Mutek for the DJ-gearheads out there, which I am not:

No one is sure what the current setup will be, because the last time he performed as Plastikman was at Mutek in 2004. He has released no information about his Plastikman live set. At Mutek in 2004...

To get a good cross-section of Richie's Plastikman sound, I would listen to Sheet One (his first album) and Closer (his last). They reflect the full breadth of his sound, and also the contrasting...

Correct. Cybersonik was Richie and Dan Bell doing a hard techno live PA back in the early 90s. They were groomed along with Prodigy and Moby to kind of usher in electronic music to the mainstream...

Hey Guys ~

As a fan of Richie Hawtin for 10 years, and being originally from Detroit, I can't even begin to describe what it means to know we will be experiencing a live Plastikman set at this...

They were awesome.

I was planning on seeing the Roots, but wasn't feeling them, then heard all this amazing energy coming from R&G, clapping, high-speed latin acoustic guitars...it was amazing. I...

I thought the Sahara tent was good, but not nearly as consistent as it could have been. I know there was a focus on live electronic acts this year, but there just wasn't enough consistent energy and...

1. Interpol
2. Arcade Fire
3. Hot Chip

I was quite pleased that the political rhetoric was kept to a minimum during Rage's set. I think they realized that the best way for the majority of the crowd to be receptive to their performance...

Arcade Fire were amazing, just like last time.

I love how they switch instruments and completely freak out throughout their whole set.

Super passionate.

the beats were dope, but the synths, breakdowns and diva vocals were shyte.

FUCK TRANCE

I was actually quite pleased that I didn't hear any political soapboxing from Rage for most of their set - of course, right as I was leaving Zack had to throw in something about executing the...

KoL were awesome, one of my favorite sets of the weekend.

Just the perfect setting - sun setting, mountains starting to glow, and the Kings rocking out with their southern-tinged rock.

No...

PB&J SUCKED

I heard MSTRKRFT completely destroying the Sahara while I was falling asleep during Peter Bjorn & John.

Fucking weirdo Swedes.

Peter Bjorn & John were a total letdown.

The first song was riddled with technical difficulties, rhythm was off, beat was off, vocals were off. They brought absolutely no energy to their set. ...

Interpol fucking rocked my mind.

My favorite set of the festival.

So tight, so loud, no bullshit banter, just playing, and nailing every damn note.

I fucking love them.

I saw them in San Diego a couple months ago - they were alot of fun. One band I always wanted to see but didn't think I would because they kind of faded away. I was really pleased to see them back...
