10) Richie Hawtin

When: Day 1 at 10:00 PM
Where: Movement Stage
If you’re walking into Hart Plaza on the first night of the festival, Richie Hawtin A.K.A. Plastikman will play as good a set on the Movement Stage as any to kick off your musical journey into the heart of Detroit techno. His name became all but synonymous with the second wave of the genre in the early ‘90s, and his ENTER. events continue to expose new generations to its delightfully dissonant sounds.
Just don’t make the rookie mistake of confusing him with Emma Hewitt (who won’t even be playing the festival, silly) – it’s happened to all of us at some point, and it’s hard to recover from it.
