Richie Hawtin Is Throwing A #dotUP Party In Montreal And It’s Free!
Free Richie Hawtin Show at Place des Arts
If you hadn’t already heard, Canadian electronic musician and DJ Richie Hawtin will be bringing his critically acclaimed ENTER. event to Montreal on Thursday, May 29th. Buy tickets here.
ENTER. is an experimental concept described as a mix of technology and underground music with a focus on minimal techno.
ENTER.Mutek will be presented at Métropolis from 10pm to 3am, and will feature the techno-heavyweight himself alongside fellow Canadian Marc Houle as well as Sweden’s Andreas Tilliander performing under his all Roland hardware alias, TM404.
This is an event that every electronic music enthusiast should attend, considering Hawtin has been a pioneer in bringing in the new wave of digital djing. His sets are often highly complex and very technical, layering loops and live samples to create his own signature style of techno.

Montreal techno fans have another reason to be excited as the rumors have finally been confirmed that Hawtin will be throwing a #dotUP pre-party today. A what party? Hawtin is famous for throwing these parties at secret locations, usually only revealing them hours before the party itself.
At the BPM Festival that was held in Playa del Carmen, Mexico last January, he played a special set with techno legend Dubfire at a taco joint. And the best part about these #dotUP parties… they’re totally free! The rumors started Monday when Hawtin took to his twitter page to express his excitement for his upcoming ENTER. event. Yesterday, he confirmed the news himself. The party will be held today at Place des Arts from 5pm to 7pm.
Looking forward to @ENTERexperience this week in Montreal! Maybe time for the next #dotUP?? @RBMA http://t.co/665GaXYdff

For those who have never had the opportunity of seeing Richie Hawtin live in action, you’re missing out on a one-of-a-kind experience.
His weekly ENTER. parties at Space Ibiza, which began in 2012, have become some of the the most unique and successful parties on the island, and year after year he finds himself among the world’s best DJs. In 2013, he ranked 3rd on Resident Advisor’s “Top 100 DJs” Poll. He has always gained widespread success producing under his Plastikman alias, under which he is reportedly releasing an album sometime in 2014.
