Here is a segment from an interview with richie hawtin :

You are credited with pioneering Detroit's "second wave" of dance music. Where do you live nowadays (we hear Berlin is you current home), and how does each city that you live in affect your work? Also, you always seem to be touring...how would you compare Miami to other major cities in the world ?

Your surroundings always affect your general mind set and feelings while always framing the situation around your studio time. Berlin and Detroit, and every other city, have different personalities and locations to both inspire and entertain which usually end up filtering their way into your work. For me both Detroit and Berlin share common ground of both being cities with rich histories but turbulent pasts, shaping the attitudes and architecture that is quite conducive to creating electronic music! Miami is an interesting city because when you just look at the Beach strip it can be a little bit too flash and commercial, but with the old downtown, it's clubs and warehouse districts, Miami finds a very interesting and distinct balance between bling and roughness unlike most other American cities.

You have performed inside a Masonic Temple. Do you know whether or not there were any actual Freemasons at that show? And, what is the most interesting place that you have performed or recorded?

The Masonic Temple was indeed an active place for the Freemasons and we had to have special connections to be able to use that venue... as some people say, connections are everything And actually another really interesting place that I performed in the late 90's was another old (decommissioned) Masonic Temple in Pontiac Michigan where we put together a very special event based upon my Plastikman Consumed album with a full 3D surround sound system where we had people running around the dancefloor 'chasing' the sound!

His "connections" are probably the same as Jay Z's
