FROM OUR MINDS – TO BE ANNOUNCED TOUR 2023

From Our Minds – To Be Announced 2023 tour is the next evolutionary step in Richie Hawtin’s lifelong commitment to support the development of the electronic music scene. Earlier this year, the tour made its North American debut in the birthplace of techno, Detroit, and made its way to a series of sold out crowds in warehouses in Toronto, San Francisco, Los Angeles, and more across eight dates. Locations were sent out day of show, with a strict no photo/video policy, with each event providing a one of a kind experience for those in attendance.

The tour showcased talent Hawtin had discovered, and represented the next wave of artists from Canada to Detroit, to New York and across the South West, representing scenes beyond the traditional major cities. Label owners, visual artists, producers and DJs, these are artists that Richie believes are helping push the techno scene and sound forward in innovative new ways. Knockdown Center will see this dynamic group come together for the first time on the East Coast, with the addition of two new faces, machìna & Tylr.

RICHIE HAWTIN

Richie Hawtin is a British-born, Canadian-raised electronic visionary who began his career in the emerging techno scene in Detroit. He is the mind behind the labels and platforms Plus 8, MINUS Records and now From Our Minds. And, of course, he is Plastikman. His focus on technological advancement, coupled with the energy he puts into connecting with, and nurturing younger artists, has been a contributing factor in revolutionizing techno and keeping it moving forward.

BARBOSA

Barbosa is a Toronto-based DJ, producer, and founder of techno imprint Heist Mode - one of the leading underground labels and event series in North America. With an already impressive catalog, he is already slated for releases with purist labels Codec, Hayes Collective, Prtlwrx, VOIDWARE and more.

DECLAN JAMES

Declan James is a Dallas-based DJ, producer, and founder of VOIDWARE: a record label and party series. VOIDWARE has released tracks by artists such as Decoder, Barbosa and DRAKK. James has previously seen him release with Heist Mode, Factory93, Unfaced and Jahanam.

DECODER

Decoder is a Dallas-based DJ, producer, and founder of techno label Codec Recordings. Codec Recordings has released tracks by artists such as VSSR, Tremor, Ikari and Decoder himself. Last year saw the release of Decoder’s second album “Dark Shape” via Jeff Mills’ imprint Axis.

HENRY BROOKS

Henry Brooks is a Detroit-based DJ and producer. Hailed by Movement Festival as one of “Detroit’s next generation of techno artists”, he performed at the festival last year and has performed frequently at Charlotte De Witte’s KNTXT party series.

HUEY MNEMONIC

Huey Mnemonic is a Detroit-based DJ, producer, and founder of the label Subsonic Ebonics. Subsonic Ebonics has released a string of Huey’s EPs featuring tracks by MoMA Ready, D. Strange and Max Watts. Huey is also a member of Detroit-based party, Formula. In 2021, he was tapped to produce a track for Tresor’s “Tresor 30” compilation. 

JAY YORK

Jay York is a New York-based DJ, producer, and boss of the label TOCA Records which he co-runs with DJ/producer Decoder. Last year saw the release of his EP “Antiquity” made in collaboration with Forum, as well as solo releases with Canticle, and Codec.

LINDSEY HERBERT

She held a six-year residency at San Francisco’s Robot Ears and recently became the newest member of the San Francisco-based party, Direct to Earth. Since 2019, she has released music frequently on labels including Planet X, Nechto, Noise Manifesto, Suara and many more. 

machìna

machìna is a Korean artist working and operating out of Tokyo. Her music is deeply personal and rooted in selfhood, and yet best experienced amidst the collective effervescence of a nightclub dance floor. Her compositional style is both thoughtful and playful, hinting at her love of jazz, which is also evidenced in her confident modular improvisations when she performs live. Her vocals are pronounced and note-perfect. Through this collaboration of technology, analogue systems and vocals, she is forging her own unique style of electronic music. 

MICHELLE SPARKS

Michelle Sparks is a Phoenix-based DJ, producer, and co-founder of the party series Circuit which she runs with DJ/producer Juheun. She has released music via Octopus Recordings, Octopus Black Label and Raise Recordings.

TYLR_

TYLR_ has spent over a decade in Detroit soaking up the city's unique and diverse culture and sound. He has had the honor of playing alongside and learning from many legendary artists. With this influence and his innate talent, he mixes a far-ranging set that pulls together strings of nostalgia fluidly combined with modern beats. TYLR_ has played clubs both mainstream and underground in Detroit, San Francisco, Miami, Chicago, New York, Pittsburgh, and beyond.
