russell Posted August 28, 2013 Posted August 28, 2013 There appears to be a bit of the old 'tall poppy syndrome' happening to Richie Hawtin at present. The Sabotage Times penned a rather scathing write up yesterday which claims that the veteran techno pioneer is "not longer relevant" and now a video of Hawtin playing Cocoon at Amnesia Ibiza is doing the rounds which makes the claim of an "epic DJ fail".In the video the music stops several times much to Hawtin's confusion and he pulls friends over into the DJ booth before massively stage-diving into the crowd. He's clearly wasted and enjoying himself, plus word on the interwebs is that at this point it was around 9:30am, so you could probably excuse him for opting to let his hair down and simply chuck on a few tracks, right?So the question stands: Is the video really the epic fail people are making it out to be? Or is everyone just using it as an excuse to take a legend of the industry down several pegs? Have a watch below and decide for yourself.Source: pulseradio.net Quote
