DJ Shadow gets the hook.

Why even book him?

In the same year that New York house head Dennis Ferrer got
the tap on the shoulder at Miami club Mansion to cut his set
short, it’s happened again, this time to DJ Shadow. The
celebrated beatmaker and turntablist was at Mansion for an
‘All Basses Covered’ DJ set on Saturday 15 December, but
his selections didn’t pass muster (reportedly after only
20 minutes of playing). A fan filmed the exchange and
Shadow’s announcement to the crowd, followed by some
unhappy reactions from the dancefloor (see below). “I
don’t care if I get kicked out of every rich kid club on
the planet,” Shadow wrote on his Twitter after the
incident. “I will never sacrifice my integrity as a
DJ…ever.”

The news swiftly follows Tommie Sunshine’s run-in with New
York club W.i.P last weekend. Asked to cut his set short for
“playing too hard”, he spoke to Vibe about the
increasingly-common occurrence. “Everyone is now an expert
of this music, especially the ones who pay BIG $ to consume
it,” he wrote. “Not to mention the clowns who supposedly
‘run’ clubs. Basically their #1 priority is their
‘clients’ who spend money in bottle service & what they
say dictates the music direction.”

DJ Shadow has been taking the ‘All Basses Covered’ DJ
concept around the U.S. in recent weeks, hitting New York,
Atlanta, New Orleans, Boston, Detroit and more. Predictably,
Mansion’s Facebook page is attracting a volley of angry
posts from Shadow fans. This Friday 21 December, the club is
set to host another turntable pro, DJ Craze, himself a Miami
local. Hit ‘Full Screen’ on the video embed below to

VIPs probably wanted him to play LMFAO.

shadow's 2006 album really put me off, and i've not really
been following him since that (just figured he'd lost it and
stopped bothering). was his 2011 one any good?

Dear God, if they kicked Shadow off enough for not being
bland enough for a nightclub, they're really going to have
problems with Craze on Friday night!

Every good DJ just needs to get these gigs, then get kicked
off, then say FUCK YOU to the crowd.
