Featuring...

The Richie Hawtin Gear Package

NextAid is excited to offer you the opportunity to step behind the booth and into this unique visionary’s shoes with the auctioning off of the Richie Hawtin Gear Package. The heavily (but lovingly) used equipment from his 2008 season may help you catch a bit of his genius, but more than anything, it’s a chance to own a piece of electronic music history. http://plastikman.com / http://www.m-nus.com.
