Not sure about if anyone got hurt. I heard it happened outside the club. All parties in the area were shut down. Really sucked for the centre st people - that party was just getting started.

Ricardo was taken off the line up do to visa issues. He was at the festival - saw him walking around. Guess he couldnt get a work permit. Hawtin replaced him. Someone told him Ricardo played an after party, not sure if that was true. Was a bit sad to miss out on seeing him but didn't really let it affect my DEMF.

Should add that we had a laugh and a half the few times we decided to peek in on the Beatport stage. Truly appears that the new hallmark of a DJ's popularity is to see how many attention-whoring hangers on you can pack into the booth during your set.

The person everyone thought was Ricardo was Adrien de Maublanc of Masomenos who played at Old Miami. He looks exactly like Ricardo unless you see him up close.

What does this even mean?

Also, why do you even care?

Oh yea, this must be part of your continuing campaign to bash the more popular flavours of techno in order to give the illusion that your elitist, techno-purist preferences are more important. Why can't you just enjoy the type of music you like, and stfu about this already?

Did you and your girlfriend really go to the Beatport stage just to laugh at how other people party?

Give me a fucking break.

You sound like a tool.

pivottechno is just bitter that no one cares to hear him play / go to his lame parties

imo

Lol @ immediate defensiveness from the Beatport Brigade - hit a sore spot, did I?

Please tell me, what if anything do a bunch of fist-pumping booth bunnies have to do with what you perceive to be "the more popular flavours of Techno" (<---speaking of elitist preferences)? Does one automatically accompany the other? Does crowding the booth with people who clearly just want a piece of the onstage action somehow make the music sound better?

And double lol @ the "Techno purist" comment - I'd say that moniker is considerably more reflective of the "oh that track was so five seconds ago" Berlimnml contingent that worships the Beatport Top 10 like its the second coming than it is of my personal tastes, which span some 30+ years of electronic music.

This thread is for picks and pans and I've given both. Don't like?

You've never attended one of my parties and have probably never listened to one of my sets, so you're essentially talking out of your ass.

Nice one.
