Richie Hawtin & Pete Namlook
// after Martin Dawson’s death, another gifted musician has left us: Pete Namlook, also known as Peter Kuhlmann from Germany. In his honor, Richie Hawtin gives a way the “From A Million Miles Away”-mix from 1993 for free, filled with tracks by him and Namlook. Here’s what Richie said about Pete Namlook and the mix:
“It’s with a heavy heart that I sit here on our Cntrl: Beyond EDM tour bus, travelling through the Midwest listening to a song that was the soundtrack to so many important moments in my, my brothers & my Detroit crew’s lives… From Within ‘A Million Miles to Earth.’ This week my friend and collaborator Peter Kuhlman better known as Pete Namlook from FAX Records, Germany, passed away. My condolences to Pete’s family, friends & fans. It MUST be said that Pete was an Electronic Music pioneer, a pillar of the modern Germany Electronic Music scene AND single handedly created & sustained the Ambient movement of the 1990’s and beyond. Inspired by those who came before him, Pete continually inspired all of us and his sonic blueprint is part of the foundation of Electronic Music that we all stand upon today. I’ve opened up this Soundcloud link to one of our finest musical moments together as a free download. Recorded just after New Years Eve 1993 in Frankfurt, Germany, the first song we wrote together. Originally written as a reminder of my friends in Detroit, a million miles away from Frankfurt, this song will now forever be a reminder of Pete, a million miles away from us all. Goodbye Pete, Safe travels…. LISTEN & REMEMBER….”
