Yall. I think the days of electro/bangers might be dying. Think that the events in this post my be some
sort of sign that ‘the end is near.’ It involves some of the key figures in the Electro World, and takes place on Electro Holy Ground.
Apparently at Busy P’s birthday party, there was some sort of ‘fight’ between the Cinespace bouncers and the Ed Banger crew.
[Photos by Ronys Photo Booth]
From what I have heard, there were ‘members of the Ed Banger crew who weren’t let into the VIP area.’ Then a bouncer ‘pushed’ notable nitelife DJ Kavinsky and they started 2 fight.
SoMe looks ‘like an angry French man’ in this picture.
Sources ‘in the know’ told me that the ‘bouncers were overwhelmed with entry levelers’ who were ‘mad hyped to see the Daft Punk bro, Thomas Bangalter ‘play a set’ live. Feel sad knowing that he is the bro on the left.
(actually thought that Daft Punk were robots)
Not sure how to feel after seeing French people ‘angry’ and ‘fighting.’
We all just want 2 be V.I.P.s, I guess. Wish more bands would ‘get in fights’ so that the musicblogsphere would ‘have more interesting stuff 2 write about.’ Trying to do more to ‘write about what is happening in local scenes.’ Might have to hire ‘interns’ in every city in America or something.
Is electro dying?
Is Ed Banger going 2 survive the recession?
Are ‘bangers’ still alive?
Do I need to blog more about ______ instead of _________?
I feel like Ed Banger collective has evolved into the ‘type of band that u feel alright hearing ABOUT but not actually hearing.’ Think that is a result of the modern music memesphere structure.
More fight pix ‘after the jump’
‘whoa.’

i was at the show on tuesday. i had much fun. till the end. when your guys from dim mak got stupid with the bouncers. i was 2 feet away from the v.i.p. door. i heard you guys screamming at him. then the guy one of the dj’s from the you tube video spit on the bouncer,really classy. and when he went to remove him your guys jumped the bouncer. pulled him to the ground and stomped him. i was pushed down. i have spoken to that bouncer a couple times . he has never been rude or mean to anyone i go with. i hope he gets a lawyer. you guys are a bunch of cowards. i hope to see him next week so i can tell him to press charges against you guys. i took pics of that night and i plan to give him them. they show your guys grabbing him from behind and beating him on the ground. i wouldnt have bothered. but since you knocked me down and i was pissed.

This is fucked up but funny though
They are all some inconsiderate arseholes who think they own the electronic scene in the world.
It’s just a gang of wankers especially Steven Aoki and Kavinsky.
Those guys don’t know shit about music,but everybody thinks they’re cool.
I reckon Ed Banger and Dim Mak is a big joke.
Well,Ed Banger released pretty good music till 2006 and after nothing really interesting.
As for Dim Mak they never made good music at all
Look at the Bloody Beetroots,they don’t have any talent,their music is shit but as I said,everybody thinks they’re cool
Someone could explain me why guys like Busy P,Steven Aoki,Kavinsky,Justice or the Bloody Beetroots are cool even if their music is a piece of shit?
Anyway,this is not really the topic of this post
About Thomas Bangalter,I think he just helped his mates who were fighting for bullshit.
Maybe the good thing in this story is that Bangalter probably found out that his mates were lame,and that he’d better wear a mask instead of sunglasses,and that he shouldn’t djing in this kind of party with shitty people

Cool. that’s me next to Thomas… You critical suckas is jacked up…
1) Daft Punk was not fighting. Thomas only has his hands up cuz all of security bumbled in dragging Kavinsky into some tables and causing a ruckus.
2) Electro Wars is some American falsefied bullshit. So is fidgit and such. Where were all of you back in ‘93? scratch that, where were the majority of you guys 2 years ago?… I know there’s a lot fans on here, but you do realise that this whole hipster thing is just a carbon-copy echo of the whole Nu-Rave scene in East London and Paris circa 2005? Except, instead of Dim-Mak-Ltd-inc. the people then were aspiring artists, individuals of the underground, simply customising their shit to their own taste. Now “Electro” all sounds the same? And I used to think M.O.S. was commercial sell-outery… You guys can duke it out and decide when your electro muppets die, but for a lot of us, “it’s been a long time coming YALL.” Sorry, we don’t glorify and crucify.
3) Yes, Thomas Bangalter has a face, So does Guy-Manuel. So do you. Remember Around the World? ZOMG! I <3! Yeh. They weren’t robots then if you can still remember when that shit blew up way back when.
4) No wonder nobody likes Hipsters. You’re all cruel critics basing your personal accolades on that one awesome trip to Europe that summer with your brosephs. Musicians don’t need to have their personal lives assessed. Insecure, boring people assess the irrelevant facets of entertainers. Cheer up guys…Arrogance is not “cool” nor confident for that matter. Just Dick…Let’s be a little friendlier hey? It’s a lot more hygenic. Ego is only a parameter.
How can you be so mean with all this clean Helvetica and CMYK all over your face? right? right.
