As Richie\u2019s career started to take off, his mother would gently tease her son about his school days when he would stand in the playground surrounded by friends all listening intently to his latest cunning plot or plan. He has always been a leader, one of life\u2019s human beings who has never sat still waiting for something to happen, he just goes and grabs it. \u201cI have always led a group one way or another\u201d he smiles sitting poolside at the Gran Hotel before his Enter party at Space later that evening. \u201cI just love the idea of working with a group of people who can make something happen that is much bigger than our imagination.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

This month Hawtin was presented with an Honorary Doctorate of the University of Huddersfield for outstanding contribution to the world of music technology, receiving the award by Sir Patrick Stewart OBE, known to millions around the world as the Captain of the USS Enterprise in Star Trek. \u201cJust like all of the early Detroit DJs in the 80s, I was fascinated by sci-fi and the whole technology side of things – so to meet this amazing man was very humbling.\u201d I am fascinated what you two talked about I tell him, you are from very different worlds but still there is a connection. \u201cIt\u2019s funny you should say that Dan. He is currently starring in an improv theatre show in Chicago and said to me\u2026\u2018I know what I am going to do with my performance for the first few minutes, but after that I have no idea where the journey is going to go\u2019. I looked at him and said, Sir Stewart, that\u2019s what I do every time I DJ.\u201d<\/p>\n

Alongside music, Sake is Richie\u2019s other passion in life. He fell in love with the drink back in 1994 after a Plastikman show at The Liquid Room in Tokyo. \u201cI was so overwhelmed with everything about my first trip to Japan, I just wanted to suck everything in. The electronic stores, the temples, eating real sushi for the first time\u2026and then the Sake, raising that first glass changed my life.\u201c<\/p>\n\n\t\t
