Canadian (British born) producer, label manager and DJ, born June 4, 1970; brother of Matthew Hawtin.
Although mainly influenced by Detroit techno, Hawtin has developed his own style ranging from harder noisy techno to deep minimal abstract acid, particularly under his best known alias Plastikman. He was involved in the development of the Final Scratch digital DJ technology and has continued to use new technology as it becomes available.
Founded the Plus 8 Records, M_nus and Probe Records techno labels.
Before becoming a DJ worked in a video game shop & at McDonald's.
