 The launch of a new DVD special series of documentaries, Pioneers of Electronic Music celebrates in detail the life and work of prominent artists or "pioneers" in the global electronic music scene. The first edition is a documentary film based on electronic producer, performer and industry icon, Richie Hawtin. The film draws from the important stages and events in Richie Hawtin's personal and artistic life, revealing the journey of an introverted and transplanted computer-minded teen that develops by way of Detroit's radio and records fueled by pure driven passion into a successful techno-entrepreneur and global DJ entertainer. Slices examines a career that has now spanned almost twenty years, exploring his role in the Detroit techno scene, co-founding and establishing the legendary Plus 8 label with John Acquaviva and the international cult that sprang up around his distinct alter ego, Plastikman. Friends, family, colleagues and Richie Hawtin himself tell their stories relating early DJ experiences, his first encounters with role models like Derrick May and Jeff Mills, his move to New York City and then later to Berlin, and much more.
