The show, CLOSE – SPONTANEITY AND SYHNCHRONICITY, explores the relationship between human creativity and the innovative technologies that enable an artist to express themselves. In its first year, the show was voted Best Live Performance 2017 at the DJ Awards. Having debuted the concept at Coachella followed by shows at Primavera Sound, ADE and Vivid LIVE at the Sydney Opera House, CLOSE opens up the DJ booth for a transparent masterclass in Spontaneity & Synchronicity. It represents how far the art of DJing can be pushed today, thanks to a completely improvised performance which means no two shows are the same.
Both CLOSE dates will be supported by a live show by respected Swedish electronic act TM404 aka Andreas Tilliander, a regular guest at Hawtin’s ENTER. residency in Ibiza. TM404 will open from doors until the CLOSE performance, with a leftfield live performance featuring 303s, 202s and drum machines.
“I have spent most of my life behind a table half-concealed. The CLOSE show removes the barrier between artist and audience and it feels like I’m in that moment with everybody else. It feels very powerful. If I can get to that point during the show with everybody, that’s why I got into this music. Being locked in this cloud of frequencies that feels like its from tomorrow; that you’re living in the future. I am really happy to finally perform this show at the Roundhouse in London, and the Scottish crowds have always been a huge inspiration to me.” – Richie Hawtin
CLOSE tickets on sale on Friday June 8 at 9am BST via Ticketmaster, Gigs & Tours, Ticket Tannoy and Resident Advisor.
