Mixmag is starting a new series of parties called Mixmag Live in London to kick off the showcase, they’ve invited Richie Hawtin (as Plastikman). Being the Mixmag Live artist also means you grace the cover of the magazine, do the covermount CD which comes with ever copy, as well as an awesome spread. Read on to see a little bit of what you get, and more about the party next month at Village Underground in London.
We are extremely proud to announce that our very first Mixmag Live coverstar will be Richie Hawtin. Whether under his Plastikman guise or simply as himself, Richie has built a deserved reputation as one of the most visionary and forward-thinking artists dance music has ever produced.
For this exclusive London show he will be joined by hot techno talent from his esteemed minus label in the shape of DJ set from Berlin-based Canadian, Hobo, and a live performance from the hotly-tipped Matador.Richie is the March Mixmag coverstar and has also mixed that issue’s iconic cover CD. The magazine also includes a special ten-page section guest edited by the man himself and focussing the theme of “New Horizons” – for both Plastikman, Richie Hawtin and the m-nus techno family. Every fan who attends the party will also receive a copy of Mixmag and the cover CD, worth £4.50
As an additional gift, Richie also giving away the bespoke Remiix Mixmag (New Horizons) app for iPhone and iPad to Mixmag readers. Developed by revolutionary music and technology company Liine (of which Richie is a co founder), Remiix Mixmag allows users to take the stems of classic minus tracks and rework and remix themselves. Details of how to access it will be in the magazine.
We’re not sure if Mixmag is just re-launching the Mixmag Live! series they did in the late 90′s (Richie did a few himself that you can find on Discogs), or if this is an entirely new brand.
