Anyone heard of this? Hawtin tackled by security in Miami

This may well be old news, but I havent seen it on here.

quote:

It was pure madness. The music was superb and the sun and blue sky peeping through the clouds overhead were a welcome sight on Nocturnal’s intimate 200-capacity terrace.

But then, it suddenly all came to a head in minimal TV soap style, with an incident between Richie Hawtin and the big side-of-a-house sized security team (a mandatory requirement of any Miami club). At first it looked like just a few stern words but the chain of events that soon followed had mouths dropping.

What exactly caused the riff we will probably never really know, but Richie wasn’t prepared to be kicked out. Asserting their authority like only they know how, within seconds one guy had Richie in a headlock, while another two (pulling at various parts of his body) made an effort to get him out the door. Various friends and DJs in the vicinity tried to help stop the nonsense but as you can imagine, convincing a dozen gorilla-like security guards to do something distinctly different from their mindset was never going to happen easily. And it wasn't until Beyer pulled the music that things abruptly came to a halt.


A few minutes later, clubland-style diplomacy from various parties did some damage control and a battered, bruised, but in no way beaten Hawtin returned to massive applause. He stepped up behind the decks and put on a tune that gave the bouncers a proper "Fuck you" (a variation of the track that kicks in around the 15 minute mark on the RA Podcast with Troy Pierce). With the bouncers on edge and the madness looking like continuing, as midday approached we decided it was time to get out of there and spend the rest of the day in less heated circumstances.

Still, tonight the bar was firmly raised by the techno mafia at the WMC 2006. Here's hoping we'll be lucky enough to experience something equally comparable in the next 24 hours.
