The second Minus Bus Tour hits the road on 26 June, taking in 11 North American cities in 11 days. Together with Barem and Ambivalent, Richie Hawtin will be handing out state-of-the-art audio beatings at venues stretching from Washington DC to New York, through Canada and on to Chicago, with a potent mixture of digital Djing and Live performance.
But it’s not just about the music, there are other significant aspects to the tour - most notably Richie will be using the Twitter DJ application he pioneered at this years' Time Warp in Germany. Utilizing feeds from an updated version of Traktor’s standard broadcasting technology this revolutionary software allows for instantaneous broadcasting of all tracks played during a DJ set by sending 60 second updates to a designated Twitter account. Anyone following the Twitter group will get a unique insight into how he’s constructing the atmosphere and dynamics of a set, track by track and in real time. The track information is freely accessible from any Twitter configured personal mobile device (even from the dance floor) and archived online on the Twitter page. You can be part of the experience, wherever you are by contacting rhawtin on Twitter (www.twitter.com/rhawtin )
Then there’s the bus itself. Being on the road and eating up the miles on such an extensive tour demands a sense of responsibility, which is why Minus has a commitment to sustainable touring and operations. Together with environmental logistics firm Restorative Events, Minus is operating the tour using the highest blend of bio diesel available. This will save at least 3500 lbs of Carbon Emissions as well as reduce Particulate Matter, Carbon Monoxide, and Sulphur. It’s just one more aspect of the label’s commitment to environmentalism along with participation in the F light Emissions Offset program and ongoing initiatives to reduce packaging/waste.
