Join us as we continue our mission of developing and increasing awareness of the younger generation, through a showcase of diverse group of North American underground artists moving the ideals of ’90s techno forward in their own unique ways.

The artists picked by Hawtin to join this tour are label owners, visual artists, producers and DJs that Richie believes are helping push the techno scene and sound forward in innovative new ways. The tour marks the first time they will unite together under one billing.

Highlighting Richie’s home country is the Canadian artist Barbosa, owner of the Heist Mode label and infamous for blurring the lines between hypnosis and brutality in his music.

SF-born, Phoenix-based, Lindsey Herbert first encountered techno as an EDM fan on the CNTRL tour, and has been a champion of the sound in the South West ever since. Her journey now comes full circle, playing her alternating soundscapes that straddle the dark, deep and psychedelic alongside Hawtin.

And last but not least, JIA, the Guam born, LA based artist who champions the worldwide electronic community as founder and head-honcho at 6AM Group and co-founder at WORK.

“Since starting my first label +8 in 1990, it’s always been important for me to help nurture, develop and promote new like-minded artists. Today with the ever-growing popularity and globalization of Techno, it’s critical to collaborate with the next generation, learning from one another and pushing forward together with open-minded curiosity.” – Richie Hawtin
