Richie Hawtin continues to redefine the scene as he delivers his Plastikman alias to create a soundtrack for Prada’s women’s Spring/Summer 2021 fashion show.
The 12-minute track titled ”Sin Thetik,” arrives alongside a 20-minute ambient version. The track was debuted at Milan’s Fashion Week in Prada’s first show since their new creative director Raf Simons joined Muccia Prada.
Please see below to experience ‘Sin Thetik.’
“Very proud to announce my collaboration with Prada to soundtrack their SS21 collection. Plastikman ‘Sin Thetik’ was created over an intense few weeks and was inspired by my conversations with Raf along with directions for Miuccia. The process was new to me, however, I always felt the respect and openness from Raf & Miuccia to allow me to explore where the sound of Plastikman would fit in this new context. This is just the first piece of music today, expect more very soon…”

Plastikman debuted an album in 2014 titled EX and in 2018 the artist confirmed that an LP will be released by the alias.
