Richie Hawtin & Ricardo Villalobos B2B @ Fabric This SaturdaySaturday 29th November 2003 Richie Hawtin AKA Plastikman & Ricardo Villalobos - Back To Back for 8 Hours @ Fabric
This Saturday, Fabric will host a very special night of musicS Richie Hawtin is known for his meticulous ear for sound quality, so it seems appropriate that he is to be let loose on Fabric¹s awesome sound system. It¹s an occasion that the club have been waiting four years to make happen, and it¹s clear that there¹s quite a buzz about his forthcoming appearance. It¹s been a watershed year for Hawtin, with the release of the long-awaited fifth Plastikman album, OCloser¹, in October, breaking a long production silence. His new look and relocation to Berlin are also significant developments, and it¹s probably fair to say that he has renewed vigour in his approach to DJing. Richie¹s schedule has always been busy, verging on workaholic, but recently he states a preference for playing longer sets and trying harder than ever to encompass more mind-boggling breadth into them. And that¹s before we¹ve even covered the technical side to his art where he¹s pushing the envelope as ever (see details of the CTRL setup at http://www.m-nus.com) Hawtin has stated that part of the reason for his relocation to Berlin is to enable him to be around people that inspire him, musically, and one of these people is Ricardo Villalobos. The pair¹s friendship has been pretty well documented this year. The two have shared residencies at Cocoon¹s Ibiza seasons, and Villalobos has guested at Hawtin¹s M_Nus parties in the U.S. There¹s a clear mutual respect there one that is born from a shared resolutely forward-thinking approach to their music. Ricardo Villalobos is no stranger to Fabric, having fallen in love with the place this year during his previous DJ appearances. He¹s surely one of the rising stars in European electronic music, both as a Producer (check out 2003¹s OAlcachofa¹ album) and an incredibly expressive DJ. Villalobos has an intuitive knack of being extremely cutting edge whilst never rubbing your face in the fact taking risks with his selection that you wouldn¹t even register, such is the fluency of his presentation. Whilst either DJ could and would rock Fabric individually, Saturday is guaranteed to be greater than the sum of it¹s partsS and if that¹s not an exciting prospect check your pulse.
