minitek festival combines two aspects: electronic music and innovation. While this seems to be a pretty straightforward at first, you’ll understand that Minitek is going to explore innovation not only in respect to music but also to other forms of art, design and technology. For three days and three nights, minitek will bring together individuals, institutions and creative companies that are pioneers in their respective areas and whose creations, visions and inventions are shaping the future.
Music
Electronic music is the epicenter of minitek because it is the form of music currently developing the fastest and most directly linked to innovation. The lineup is unmatched and made up of some of the world’s most respected artists, who define trends rather than follow them…
Richie Hawtin
Hawtin has made his mark on electronic music by being both inventive and innovative. With over fifteen years of DJ experience, Hawtin has headlined some of the most prestigious festivals and events in club culture to date and continues to define rather than follow musical trends. Internationally in demand, from LA to Sydney, Hawtin's developed sound of entertaining and interesting DJ art continues to push dance music into the future. His DJ reputation has earned him many Best International DJ awards with fans and the music industry, and he collaborated with choreographer Enzo Cosimi to create a composition called "9.20" for the 2006 Winter Olympics opening ceremony. In between touring the globe, Hawtin produces music for his now legendary label Plus 8 & Minus. Website
Tiefschwarz
The Tiefschwarz production duo, consisting of brothers Ali and Basti Schwarz, has seen its electro house music transform from the deep, mellow house they started producing in 1996 to the edgy, grittier minimal house music they are producing today. They have been travelling as DJs since 1995, playing at major events and popular clubs all over the world. Tiefschwarz have recently composed remixes for Madonna's Get Together, Missy Elliott's "Teary Eyed" and Depeche Mode's single, John the Revelator, as well as for Earth Wind and Fire and Randy Crawford, among others. At minitek, Ali will play an exclusive back to back set with M.A.N.D.Y.'s Philipp, a US debut.
