Richie Hawtin Sorry For Pushing Speaker Onto Concert-Filming Fan

(Radio.com) Richie Hawtin has apologized after pushing a speaker onto a phone-wielding fan who was recording a recent concert of his. According to Hawtin, it was not his intent to push the object onto the fan; rather, he intended to nudge it as a reminder that he did not want the set recorded.

"Regarding the incident at Time Warp in New York this weekend which is being posted and talked about on the web, I would like to apologise here to the girl involved," Hawtin noted in a statement on his Facebook page. "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. I have tried to reach the girl to apologise personally but have not yet been able to track her down and will continue to try to contact her."
