John Acquaviva

Richie Hawtin and John Acquaviva provide the mix for a journey further into virtual dimensions than techno had ever gone before -- the ever more confident animations reflecting the increasing sophistication of techno itself, reflected in some of the genre's most memorable tracks from the likes of Speedy J, LSG, Plastikman, Laurent Garnier, and Hardfloor.

A successful DJ living in a trendy apartment building learns his psychiatrist and new neighbor may be involved in a secret society plot drugging and killing fellow celebrity tenants.

The film draws from the important stages and events in Richie Hawtin’s personal and artistic life, and follows Hawtin’s transformation from introverted and transplanted computer nerd into a DJ and techno-entrepreneur. The 70 min documentary features an extensive archive of unreleased photos, video and interviews. Of special interest are Hawtin’s relationship with his family, especially his technophile dad, his fascination with Detroit and his early DJ gigs.
