During Richie Hawtin's set at this year's Time Warp, he unintentionally knocked over one of the monitor speakers onto a nearby girl who was recording the show with her phone. While the girl appears to be uninjured, the media and EDM community erupted as the news hit the web.
Richie Hawtin responded to the incident on Facebook by stating that he “would like to apologise here 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. 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.”
