Richie Hawtin pushes monitor on iPhone-wielding fan

With the debate about the annoyance of compulsive iPhone use at clubs being in full tilt, Richie Hawtin scored a point for the traditionalists by pushing one of his monitors onto an overly-zealous, phone-wielding fan at his recent appearance at Time Warp.

In a video that was, ironically, shot on an iPhone, we can see Hawtin doing his thing on stage before deciding that one particular phone filmer has got enough footage and pushes a monitor into her.

Richie Hawtin has since apologised via his Facebook: "I would like to apologise to the girl involved. It was not my intention that the speaker fell. Only to nudge the monitors in her direction and for her to understand that perhaps she had filmed enough.

"I was as surprised as I'm sure she was when it moved the way it did and the top speaker fell off of the stack. For that, I'm extremely sorry and embarrassed about what happened. This was never my intention.

"Sometimes being in the middle of the spotlight, continual cameras and glaring iPhone lights, things can get stressful and frustrating. I'm sorry that this frustration took an unexpected turn and took away from anyone's experience of Time Warp."
