Guggenheim International Gala Pre-Party: Richie Hawtin

The Minus label's minimal-techno demigod Richie Hawtin lays down his machine-tooled rhythms in the unlikely setting of the Guggenheim's rotunda. In case you're wondering about the rather steep admission fee, the gig is a fund-raiser for the Solomon R. Guggenheim Foundation, which supports the museum's educational, curatorial and research programs (there's also a full open bar, if that helps).
