RICHIE HAWTIN & MINUS COLLECTIVE UNEARTH THE CUBE

Operating under the premise of 10 weeks of silence, Techno DJ & producer Richie Hawtin's intrepid M-Nus team have been hard at work deciphering the secrets of the Cube after discovering this mysterious object in a clandestine excavation site. Initial tests reveal a dense, carbon based structure utilizing liquid crystal technology and while its origins remain unclear it seems to have been created by intelligence far greater than our own.

As guardian of the Cube, Richie Hawtin has released the following statement:

"What is apparent is that the Cube is a highly advanced communications device that responds positively to the presence of humans and interacts accordingly. By acting as a central hub it seems to allow us to direct our thoughts, collect and share ideas, transcend language and interconnect musically in ways previously not possible. We're still in the early stages of research but it seems our destinies have somehow become interlinked.

"The global Contakt events are the next phase of our research. The Cube's technology will strengthen the connection between the performers but it will to go further, bringing together the people who share and support our music, giving them the chance to interact personally with the Cube and in doing so, gain access to the Cube Network. That's why we're holding these events, to create a unique, interactive environment that offers a new, closer form of communication. After all that's what makes us human... and if technology can increase that, we should embrace it.
