Almost funnier then how hard this write jocks Ritchie Hawtin. Just because Mr Hawtin picks up a piece of technology some one else creates, doesn't mean he is Vasco de Gama "discovering" new parts of the world. Every time I see references to that Dex Effex non sense, like he thought that up first, makes me laugh. He is an adaptor to the elements in his spread out enviroment, but that doesn't really make him an innovator. I don't think anyone in years has walked away from a Hawtin set, that has been altered by his new "discoveries" in technology and thought it was a mind blowing event. In fact the best sets I have seen from him is when he was stripped down to the basic DJing equipment.
Well, regardless of what you think of Mr. Hawtin (he was better around 1995 for my personal tastes), to be fair it's very rarely the same person that invents a technology and popularises it.
So, no-one want one of these (http://www.pacemaker.net/) after Richie's glowing endorsement? :)
