"Making CONTAKT," the Film

Looking back at vintage Hawtin.

Richie Hawtin has been pushing the envelope of his live performances for years, incorporating technology in innovative and experimental ways, but always in the name of connecting with his audiences, forming emotional bonds in real time with them, and exploiting those bonds for maximum aesthetic bliss.

Earlier this year, Minus, Hawtin's label, released a feature-length documentary, a behind-the-scenes look at Contakt, the epic event tour of 2008 in which Hawtin brought his visions to the people. First screened at the I.C.A. in London in the Fall of 2009, Making CONTAKT is a definitive account of Hawtin at the height of his powers, and a compelling snapshot of the state of electronic music culture today.
