Richie Hawtin announces new CNTRL tour

Richie Hawtin has always had one mission in mind: to spread underground dance music like there’s no tomorrow. Back in 2012, he embarked on a technology-driven tour titled, “CNTRL: Beyond EDM,” hosting panel discussions and performances at a number of colleges across North America. Now he’s announced a CNTRL tour for 2015 with the goal, once again, of educating the younger demographic on the deeper facets of electronic music.

The tour’s new iteration goes by the mantra: “Individuality & Creativity In Technology-Based Music,” and will head to eight major colleges throughout the month of April. The tour will consist of seminars, panels, and production masterclasses during the day, as well as performances at night from Hawtin and fellow tech-enthusiasts like Dubfire, Marc Houle, Matador, Matthew Dear, Chris Liebing, Ean Golden and more.

Hawtin said of the tour: “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. 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.”
