Just wondered what the [ms] crews experiences are -
You know scene - one of your favourite DJ's is playing at your favourite club. Naturally its probably not even where you live, so you travel for several hours, book tickets to guarantee entry and accomodation, maybe splash out on a pre-set meal (its going to be a long night and you may lose you appetite by the early hours of the morning). Everything is in place and you've looked forward to this for weeks.
Then you get the bad news ... such and such a star DJ couldn't make it or has a last minute bout of influenza (no doubt the booking agents got greedy and had that star name globetrotting for a few extra $$$'s - and the DJ missed the flight 'cause he fell asleep at the gate).
To top things off the no-name/no-talent replacement plays like a bedroom-beginner, doesn't have an ear for a tune and can't work the floor. Your night's turned to shite after all that effort (not to mention the wasted hard earned ??'s you've worked your arse off all week for).
In my case Sander K has been notorious - he didn't turn up at Sankey's, injured his leg playing football in the afternoon at Creamfields, and pulled his night at Pinup (Ibiza) last year (without updating his website or cancelling flyers).
Despitre his reputation I've only missed Sasha once - British Airways strike 2003. I was chatting to him at his legendary Reniassance reappearance in Ibiza later that year and he apologised (and reckoned he'd done everything to try and get there). Give his crew their due, Excession put three of us on his guest list at Tribal Gathering.
So come on - who is notorious ....and which DJ can you depend on that will turn up (Possible Hernan who bases himself in the UK when he plays Europe and Argentina when he plays America ?).
Any working DJ's that are part of [ms] - now is a chance to defend your profession!
