sadness indeed! Magda is great.
at least back in the day, it would have been difficult to get out of the club carrying 2 crates of vinyl without getting noticed.. a laptop is tiny and could be hidden under a coat.
(Berlin, DE) - On Saturday 2nd May m_nus star Magda became the most recent high-profile DJ to fall victim to a laptop thieves. In the aftermath of her gig at the Centrum Club in Erfurt, Germany, her laptop bag was stolen from the club's DJ booth - and with it went her laptop itself, plus her hard drive and headphones too.
Unfortunately, DJs being robbed after they play (or in the case of Vitalic back in 2005 at London's Cargo, even before his performance) is not a new phenomenon. To an opportunistic thief a laptop probably looks like a nice easy steal; they're clearly not the moral type, let's be honest. The amount of work that's on the laptop is probably immaterial to them, but this
incident has clearly affected Magda a great deal.
In a message to m_nus mailout-subscribers on Tuesday 6th May, Magda showed her dismay at the robbery with a personal plea. She explains, 'We as DJs and artists dedicate our entire energy and spirit to what we do. We work very hard to present music in our own special way. There is no better feeling than knowing that you and the people on the dance-floor are completely connected and knowing that we can share that feeling of excitement from hearing a new special track.'
The Berlin-based minimalist continues, 'I am deeply sad and disappointed to know that something like this could happen, especially in the DJ booth, the one place where things should be safe. I feel like I have been stripped of
the one thing that is closest to my heart.'
Magda finishes with a thought all clubbers can surely relate to: 'We are all in this together and we must respect each other, otherwise there is no point.'
