Following the Führer’s outburst last week on YouTube, Richie Hawtin and the Minus gang have decided to present their Contakt show in Berlin on October 11th.

The special Contakt club events, that celebrate Minus’ 10 year anniversary, are collaborative performances that see Magda, Troy Pierce, Gaiser, Heartthrob and Marc Houle play live together, whilst Richie Hawtin commands it all through a giant mixer.

Some of the Minus artists play live, and some of them DJ, and somehow Richie Hawtin’s giant brain manages to combine all the separate audio channels into one electronic music masterpiece.

As well as an audio amalgamation, the Contakt events also attempt to explore the link between music and visuals, in the form of the Cube, a mysterious box that is meant to represent the collaborative feeling of the parties.

Berlin’s Contakt event will take place at Columbiahalle on October 11th.

So cheer up, Mr. Hitler!
