'Last night a DJ saved my life' is certainly not the lyrics this next lady was singing after being on the receiving end of House music DJ Richie Hawtin's frustrations.
Hawtin was caught on camera over weekend pushing a monitor on top of a woman who was filming his set on her mobile phone.
The famed 90s DJ was playing a set in New York when he pushed a black monitor at the fan. After watching the piece of equipment fall and knock the woman to the ground, Hawtin continued to dance.
Remarkably the woman escaped uninjured and Hawtin took to his Facebook page to express his apologies and give his version of events.
"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. 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 [sic]".
