This Saturday October 28 the largest indoor dance event of the USA, Monster Massive, is happening in Los Angeles, California.
Like last year, I was invited to play at this incredible music festival.
Thanks to the incomprehensible rules for artist visas to the USA, I was denied entry into the USA for this weekend. This space is too small to explain the entire situation, but what it comes down to is that I will not be coming to Los Angeles.
It truly makes me feel sorrow to break this news to you. First and foremost for all of you who emailed me about being so excited that I would be coming back to the festival this year, but also for myself. Seeing the chance to return to the greatest housemusic event I've ever played at blow up right in front of me due to absurd and baffling regulations at the USA immigration is beyond words.
My management and I have done everything we could to still make this happen, but no luck.
Monster Massive has an amazing line-up again this year, so for those of you who plan on going, enjoy, go crazy! |

| you miss the point. Olav has been before, and obviously had the necessary paperwork to do so, but there is some reason now why he can't return. That's not fair, not only to the guy who's only trying to do a job for people but to the people who want to see him. |

Tripwire wasn't allowed in a while back too.
They don't like people who come in, take money and leave without paying taxes. |

| Our airport security is wank. If people want to blow up planes, they're going to do it anyway. Theres no need to have these retarded restrictions. |

+1. That's not to say that plots to blow up airliners haven't been foiled since the rules came into force -- they have -- but they haven't been caught by a TSA agent shuffling through t-shirts and toiletries at the security line-up. They've been prevented thanks to intelligence and police work before the person even gets to an airport. |
