Biography

Growing up in Windsor, Ontario, Richie Hawtin would make frequent excursions across the border to Detroit in search of record shops & new clubbing experiences. Soon he would take up a residency at the small club The Shelter & develop his skills as a DJ. Together with his friend John Acquaviva they launched Plus 8 in 1990 to release their own creations & to support other up-and-coming, like-minded techno producers who were in search of a musical home. Richie started recording under the cryptic alias F.U.S.E.- abbreviation for ‘Futuristic Underground Subsonic Experiments’ - & released seminal tracks like ‘F.U.’ & ‘Substance Abuse’ (1991). At age 22, Hawtin released his first studio album under his F.U.S.E. pseudonym. ‘Dimension Intrusion’ (1993) was largely inspired by sci-fi movies & a collection of available synthesizers & drum machines. His heady manipulations of the Roland TB-303 acid sound helped develop an influential style that would have a lasting impact on electronic music. In 2019, celebrating the 25th anniversary of the F.U.S.E. persona, Richie Hawtin releases a digital bundle of the 'Dimensions' package as well as a limited-edition vinyl boxset in collaboration with The Vinyl Factory. The release includes his first album ‘Dimension Intrusion’ & the ‘Train-Tracs’ EP, both re-mastered & complemented with unreleased tracks. As a companion to these 1993 classic albums, Hawtin presents the unreleased album ‘Computer Space’ which was recorded in the same year.
