The 30th Anniversary edition of Plastikman’s ‘Musik’, the second studio album by Richie Hawtin as Plastikman, was recently announced for release on NovaMute on 6 December 2024. The album, originally released via NovaMute / Plus 8, followed 1993’s Sheet One and apparently propelled Hawtin into new levels of international success.
Plastikman, also know as electronic musician Richie Hawtin, has created a series of bespoke soundscapes to Pradasphere II in Shanghai, an intimate journey and public exhibition curated by Prada co-creative directors Miuccia Prada and Raf Simons and conceptualised with global design consultancy, 2x4 New York.
A PhD Scholarship in the name of electronic musician and techno DJ Richie Hawtin, aka Plastikman, has now been unveiled at the University of Huddersfield. Applications for the scholarship, titled The Richie Hawtin PhD Scholarship in Electronic Music, Cultures and Production, are now being taken up until 10 February to start in September 2023. The winning applicant will be selected by the university with guidance from Richie, who will also offer tutorial support throughout the scholarship.
