summer picnics will never be the same again... improptu tube-station parties!

I've got one of these

And so has my friend and I'm pretty sure that you can get a mixer to join them together although unfortunately I can't find a picture of the whole set-up. Would be nice although probably more trouble than it's worth.

Richie Hawtin discusses that pacemaker thing here: http://infinitestatemachine.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/11/mm_nov07_richiehawtin.pdf

I have one of these:

It's fun to bring along sometimes. Speaker is shit but it's ok for "listening" music (not big bassy dance 12") and the battery life continues to amaze me.

Jesus, since when has Richie Hawtin had hair?

 

[IdleRich]

"Jesus, since when has Richie Hawtin had hair?"

Long time now. I think it was the End a few years back when the new look Hawtin was playing but they wouldn't let him in. He pulled a punter out of the queue and said "Hey, tell 'em I'm Richie Hawtin" and the guy looked at him and went "no you're not".

 

[zhao]

what ever hair length or color hes always looked total twat with his over-silkscreened Ts and stupid poses.
