The festival of festivals… or maybe even the festival before there were festivals, as it feels like @glastofest has been around for years ⏰

Returning over the years as both Hawtin & @plastikman and even testing out the very first @playdifferently MODEL 1 prototype with co-designer Andy Rigby-Jones @unionaudio and inviting my Dad and his music buddies for a musical reunion🎵 …. Glastonbury has always been an adventure with ever-lasting memories!

Thanks again for 2025 and everyone in the @gladeareaglasto for yet another wonderful experience!

Who remembers this intersection at E. Grand Blvd & Concord in Detroit August 1994?

KIDS LIKE US.

A short flash back into the 90s envisioning what it might have been like on that fateful evening in the Pakard Building 🖤

A film about the past requires careful considerations specially when it concerns pivotal moments of your career and events that touched countless individuals lives .

When I first met @lukejaden9 I could tell that he was fascinated by the stories he had heard about the early days of the Detroit rave scene and our @plastikman warehouse parties. After a series of long conversations I sensed that he wanted to uncover the true magic of those times… that’s what you’ll glimpse in his short film!

Thanks for your perseverance Luke and for bringing this trip back into our eyes & ears 🙏

NEW! Take a trip through the pulsating energy and community of early ‘90s techno culture in Detroit inspired by Richie Hawtin’s Packard Plant event 🪩⁠
⁠
30 years since the birth of Hawtin’s Plastikman persona, writer-director Luke Jaden magnifies the community built through the city’s underground techno culture for 35mm short film ‘Kids Like Us’, following a group of misfits seeking identity and meaning over a night⁠

Another year at @sonarfestival after 29 years of support from the team that helped my career grow step by step since the 1990s.

Each step of the way Sonar has continued to provide me and countless other artists an important platform to breakout of our normal confines, expanding the definition and understanding of what a DJ performance can be.

Tracks:
@chrisrubbra “Linear”
@kaan_pirecioglu “Heavy Light”

An explanation about my change from @plastikman live to a DJ set at @sonarfestival next week and further insight about my feelings regarding the role of firms like KKR (and other such corporations) investing in our culture.

KKR took ownership of 70 plus festivals last year and are a global multi-conglomerate that has investments in military and other questionable businesses.

For people who don’t want to watch the whole video, I continue to stand by my commitment to play at Sonar, @awakenings and @monegrosfestival (all of who are now owned by KKR) this year, all who have supported my career over the past 30+ years.

I’m excited to announce the beginning of a new project in Lisbon. Ours @ours_lisbon is a pop-up space to explore my partner’s, Laura Kaeding @lk11111 , and my fascination, connection and appreciation of Japanese craft & culture. In these early stages we will explore various ideas & concepts and see where it takes us. Expect Japanese Sake, Green Tea, Art & Craft Exhibitions, Music and more.

We are happy & excited to be part of the growing creative & gastronomic community in Estrela, Lisbon!

Our first Pop-up next week (May 28-June 1) is part of @lisbondesignweek where we present an exhibition by Lisbon based German artist @witoldriedel

The exhibition came together after a coincidental meeting with Witold, a multidisciplinary artist, who had just moved in the city as well. Witold has a great artistic intellect and a deep, sensitive interest in Japanese ceramics, which he’d been dedicating himself to for the last years.

After sharing Sake at our house together and enjoying how the taste and experience was heightened by using Japanese ceramics from our Japanese collection, an idea for a joint project started to form.

We are excited to have Withold present a selection of new works-on-paper and ceramics at the inaugural exhibition at OURS.

Back to @amnesiaibiza for a special one-off @cocoon_official with @svenvaeth_official @manoletough … and WHAT A NIGHT! No phones and people dancing and exploding in pure musical vibrations! This is the type of club experience you hope to have each night, a musical journey when each artists builds upon each other creating a night that is more than the sum of its parts! ❤️🎵

SOME of the cool things and nice people I saw at @superbooth_berlin yesterday.

Love this event - only in Berlin could you bring together so many fun/crazy/inspired/nerds/creatives in a bunch of tents in a forest filled with things making Bleeps, Blips & Blops 🎶

The wonderful inner workings of our beautiful eco-system ❤️
