PR Stunt?

I dunno how reputable this website is, but they're claiming it is.

that i wouldnt doubt.

i also think it was a PR stunt.

Maybe that's what they want you to think now. They're probably thinking "whewww, that nearly got out of hand".

Maybe it was a PR stunt, but nothing in that article shows fact other than that they got a deal done in the end. And it doesn't even say that. It just says the problem was "solved," yet they won't say if Dash is playing or not still...

I don't see how something that has tarnished Dash's image a little equates to just some publicity stunt. The negative out this outweighs negative and it should've been obvious it would have before Armin made his reply. It makes no sense. Especially for two high-profile DJS like them. This is not like DJ Sneak vs SHM or D5 where DJ Sneak needs the publicity. Armin and Dash don't need it.

Funny how when something odd like this happens, everyone jumps to the PR stunt conclusion when there's really nothing to base it off of. This is for any industry!

My feeling is somewhat along the lines of what Billy indicates. I think they are trying to backtrack after the negative reaction it caused and hoping to sweep it under the rug in the long run. They toook their spat offline, and deleted the tweets. Resolved. Solved.

And if Dash ends up ASOT600 in the end, it means nothing IMO. If it was a PR stunt and Dash was signed to pay at ASOT6600, why not just say they worked out a deal and are glad Dash will be a part of ASOT600?

PR stunt isn't logical. The backlash from this was 1000x worse then the positivity it generated. Even though Dash backed off of his previous position of not enough money, it still opened the door slightly to get a taste of what is really going on in the background and it definitely opened some eyes. All of those memes and Hitler videos are here to stay, and that's all bad publicity.

i've always said it... i think these dj's get paid wayyyy too much.

I don't think it's bad PR. Look at Steve Angello, he got caught playing mixed CD's and still sells out venues.

But that wasn't a "PR stunt" it was just him getting caught doing something frowned upon. The two situations aren't comparable in the slightest way.
