Celebrating the career of a techno pioneer
The CNTRL: Beyond EDM tour with Loco Dice and Ean Golden
There's no hiding away from the fact that EDM arrived and gobbled up hundreds of thousands of youngsters in the United States, meaning they completely bypassed the artists responsible for dance music's early beginnings. Richie wasn't going to let them get away with it, though, so he linked up with Loco Dice and California DJ Ean Golden to educate students throughout the US on the roots of the music. The CNTRL: Beyond EDM tour in 2012 included seminars at various universities, followed by shows at nearby venues afterwards. We can't say for sure how much of an impact it had on the students in attendance, but big ups to Richie for spreading the illustrious history of our world - one that was most certainly not built on suspense-filled drops and ridiculous stage shows.
