Richie Hawtin is bringing his beloved CNTRL touring brand back to the United States for a special college tour that will feature daytime panels at schools across the country and then performances at night with some of the best DJs and technologists in the field. The tour will feature Dubfire, Chris Liebing and more.
"I hope that people walk away from the CNTRL tour with a deeper understanding and appreciation for the individual creativity that each artist & performer puts into their own shows," says Hawtin. "We hope that some of the participants and fans will be inspired to take their next steps at trying their hands at their own creativity."
Set to hit eight markets over 11 days, Richie Hawtin will look to continue the progress made when he was in the United States in 2012 asking students to look "Beyond EDM." The tour will make stops in Boston, New York, Montreal, San Francisco and elsewhere. Artists like Loco Dice, Matthew Dear and Matador will join Hawtin on the tour.
Richie Hawtin has been a pioneer in using technology not only to create music, but to reach out to audiences and shape the tools used by other musicians," says Michael Bierylo, chairman of electronic production and design at the Berklee College of Music. "CNTRL has been a great way for our students to learn directly from working professionals at the top of their game, and it's been a natural extension of their classroom studies."
