Hawtin in a Headlock.....
Robbed from DJMag..... Proof at last that minimal techno is a load of horse-shit
Techno DJ Richie Hawtin was bundled out by security midway through his set at Nocturnal in Miami on Friday 24 March.
It is not known what caused the fracas, but the club’s security were so adamant to get Hawtin out of the club that they headlocked him, and dragged him towards the entrance.
Hawtin’s friends and fellow DJs eventually came to his aid – Adam Beyer (who Hawtin was DJing back-to-back with) even stopped the music – and Richie emerged unscathed, although a little shaken.
An eyewitness said: “Miami’s door staff are notoriously dumb, but to headlock one of the world’s most famous techno DJs and try to kick him out of his own party is just too stupid for words.
“He was acting a bit lairy, but the reaction by the bouncers was overzealous and irrational.”
Hawtin continued to play the rest of his set, which was reportedly one of the best of the Winter Music Conference.
