Thought this was worth a thread, the guy seems like an idiot not only for his comments but does he not realise how massive a gay following dance music has.

shame really as he's a really good DJ. too right for him to be dropped though, absolutely horrendous comments to make.

Weird how many younger/EDM-ish DJ's know nothing about the roots of what they do.

I take it there's more to the comments he posted than what is quoted in that article? I can't see anything about gay people. :confused:

That's what I wondered. It looks more like a problem of "lost in translation" to me.

“I remember producing music for one Lithuanian musician, who tried to wash my brain that I don’t need to be so conservative and intolerant about them. When I asked him ‘what would you do if you realized that your 16-year-old son’s browny [anus] is ripped by his boyfriend?’ Well he was silent.”

“the good 90s … these people of different breed where [sic] fixed.”

He also compared homosexuality to child abuse by Catholic priests: “One of my first gigs in Ireland, on my way to [my] hotel I saw a church with a fence decorated with hundreds of baby shoes. Naturally I wondered why? Unfortunately a priest’s lie for many years was uncovered when children were massively raped. Unfortunately the people of other breed continue to do it and everyone knows it but does nothing.”

His apology: Last week I wrote a Facebook post that was wrong and completely out of character and the result was a badly written post that was unacceptable. It was never my intention to offend anyone. I’m really saddened by everything that has happened and I would like to apologise to everyone I’ve let down, especially to my friends in the gay community, and my fans.

No sympathy. Whether he genuinely holds such views or not, he should know that trouble would come from posting such comments.

Fortunate to be rich and famous for playing CDs anyway :rolleyes:

Of course he's not homophobic ffs, he has gay friends. Just like John Terry has black friends.

No idea who he is,but he seems like a douche.
