Dance Music: Where are things at?

bortive For those wanting a further read into Gatecrasher / Simon Raine:

New article out today in the Sheffield press. A very interesting read particularly if you have been effected by the owner of this brand. We went court in 2019 with Simon Raine over money owed us...

The Secret DJ should have a word with Nick Gibbs who interviewed people on all sides for The Ibizan after Gatecrasher's abortive takeover of Eden. Not only did Gatecrasher rip off the workers there but they kept hold of their NIA's despite promising to give them back preventing the workers from working anywhere else in Spain. Proper scum.

Gatecrasher is a lesson in how some club busineses work. Bottom of the power chain get ripped off constantly while headliners get paid, lending credibility to fraudsters and attracting new people to get scammed with their 'fame'. At some point someone with some clout gets knocked and calls it out.

Lots of well known DJs have worked with the same promoter in London for decades, getting paid while knowing he fleeces a new generation of want-to-be DJs and promoters year on year. The Cross and Pacha London were busy under this model for the whole of the 2000s.

Just came up on my feed. Proper black eye, someone needs sorting out unless he threw the first punch. DJ line up easily searchable so should probably name the culprit as he's said a DJ whacked him and unfair on the rest

Say the other dj is on a very sticky wicket, whatever verbals have happened prior

Yup, given the tweet is from a mate of the DJ doing the punching, it's hardly an unbiased view.

Didn't know he'd been accused of rape (Fat Tony, not the bloke who whacked him, to be clear), but internet doesn't seem throw up a conviction, just interviews where he says he'd been wrongly accused.

No doubt he's probably an annoying fool from some of his own accounts, but that's about it. Not really sure why anyone would think taking to the net to laud his attacker, even if they are your mate, is a good idea.

He was cleared of the charges. Pretty shitty of the poster to put the charges up. Doesn’t lead me to believe anything she says.

 

[Buckley]

Plenty of comments around the net claiming FT was being aggressive and threatening, but that's not what the video tweeted above shows. Unless he somehow became considerably less confrontational just before the bloke smashed him, those comments are just defending a particularly nasty assault

 

[Buckley]

And to add - I generally avoid social media bar the odd gag or friends stuff these days - looking at Twitter from above has reminded me why!

Nicked yesterday it appears. Easily recognisable in the video and possibly GBH.

Not sure why his supporters have been spreading the vid - wont help him

Doesn't matter what happened before, he is knackered from the video.
