Richie Hawtin

Also known as the plastikman, Richie Hawtin spins records in the class Detroit Techno sense. He also remixes other works.

Lately, however, he's been putting out things that are surprisingly dashboard and reznor, complete with whining vocals.

While I'm usually rocking out to hard drum and bass or jungle, I always have room to stop and listen to Richie Hawtin.
