Richie Hawtin (born Richard Hawtin, June 4, 1970, Banbury, Oxfordshire, England) is a Canadian electronic musician and internationally-touring DJ who was an influential part of Detroit techno's second wave of artists in the early 1990s. Hawtin is best known for his haunting, minimal works under the alias Plastikman, a moniker he continued to use into the mid-2000s.
Hawtin has recorded music under the aliases F.U.S.E, Concept 1, Circuit Breaker, The Hard Brothers, Hard Trax, Jack Master, and UP!. He also recorded and performed, in combination with other artists, under group names such as 0733, Cybersonik, Final Exposure, Spawn, and States Of Mind. A collaboration by Richie with Pete Namlook produced the From Within series of albums.

Goofball_Jonessays...Cool, he's a DJ? So can I go up and ask for a request when he's spinning records? Like "You've Lost That Loving Feeling" or something?
But wait, how does a DJ get famous...all they do is just play others music.
