​Richie Hawtin to Bring Back CNTRL Tour to College Campuses in 2015

Advanced techno for dance nerds is now in session.

In 2012, living techno demigod Richie Hawtin set out on his groundbreaking "CNTRL: Beyond EDM" tour, which saw the dance music ambassador travel to colleges across America to explore "the deeper side of electronic music." Today, the former Windsor resident is ready to embark on another CNTRL tour.

From April 15-25, Hawtin and a rich list of musicians such as Dubfire, Matador, and Chris Liebing, among others, will travel to eight locations in North America including stops in Toronto and Montreal. The event series will feature musical performances as well as master classes produced by Point Blank Music School and discussions with Hawtin, DJTechTools' Ean Golden, and special guest speakers.

In Hawtin's own words:

"I hope that people walk away from the CNTRL tour with a deeper understanding and appreciation for the individual creativity that each artist and performer puts into their own shows. We hope that some of the participants and fans will be inspired to take their next steps at trying their hands at their own creativity."
