Our scene’s Harvey Weinstein. The absolute sense of entitlement is shocking. I find the consistent turning of blind eyes from people in the scene disgraceful. Rotten to the core

An old school mate of mine is a massive fan of Morillo. Was always posting on FB what a great night hes had at Hed Kandi or whatever handbag house night he had gone to. (Reg/swerve). Gone a bit quiet of late and its taking every bone in my body not to do a lol.

Smallman1 Glad he’s brown bread.

That’s a bit racist, ed!

Who is going to be outed next in hte electronic scene? Surely some of those minimal djs have to be absolute fucking deviants?

    Is ‘50/50’ or ‘Best of both’ the only way to avoid flaunting my white male privilege in this crazy mixed up world Si?

    Notable that “Are you ready for some more” was the sequel to “Move it”. I take it that Erick had a hand in the song titles.

    In the same way that the George Floyd protests sparked the long-overdue realisation that the electronic music industry was racist to the core (something that Black people have always known), the outpouring of fawning tributes for Erick Morillo has yet again reminded women, trans women and non-binary people in the scene of how little they matter in the eyes of their male peers.

    I stopped reading after that paragraph…

    TLDR

    Can someone summarise, only if interesting enough, pls. K, thx…

      -si- Jesus wept, if disco and house was racist, they would literally have never started in the first place.

        Sorry what? I think you mean ‘Jesus whept’

        Definitely a yank penned that article…

        Homegrove The origins of disco, house and techno are black. The journalist is clickbaiting and clearly has little grasp of house music past or present. In any case, what’s it got to do with Erick Morillo, a well known and celebrated black DJ

        The origins of disco, house and techno are black and queer.

          Met Chloe a few times over the years. DJed at a night with her once too and she was always sound.

          You have to laugh when a “serious” article is embedded within an outsized picture of two faceless bikini clad babes
