I really don't know why Mansion books people that doesn't fit into their friday/saturday crowd. Glad I didn't bother going.

I am sure Mansion presold alot of tickets to alot of people wanting and waiting to see DJ Shadow. How does this even happen?

Wow, that's crazy. Joe Maz (from DiscoTech, big fan of his) and DJ Konflict are the Friday residents. Joe had tweeted how he was excited to be opening for a guy he looked up to. Mansion on Fridays is usually open format, Craze was there not long ago and Saturdays is usually electro - Sidney Samson, Aoki, etc. Blame the promoters for sure.

At this point it doesn't matter how much I like someone playing at mansion I just don't bother considering. I know new years places typically jack up the prices but cheapest general admission tickets for carl cox at mansion are like $300- lolwut?

Apparently he was also booted from Opera nightclub in Atlanta this weekend....

The only explanation I can think of is that DJ Shadow is secretly Bad Luck Brian.

I understand, from a nightclub owner perspective, how much damage having someone play the wrong kind of music can do to your club. I also understand, from a DJ perspective, that you gotta keep the crowd going or you're not doing your job right. What I cannot understand, is why a club would book such a pioneer of EDM, knowing he will play his kind of music, and also setting your door prices knowing that he will bring his fans... And then chop him because he does so. Clearly, the club manager booked DJ Shadow with the idea he was a big name DJ and that he knows how to get a crowd going, without realising that people pay money to see just DJ Shadow at his own gigs because he's big enough to play his own music. Bad oversight on the club management, and now will have negative repercussions for everyone in that area, because now the club will only book stereotypical rich kid electro DJs.

I wouldn't be surprised if they announced on Facebook that they're banning Serato or whatever it is that Shadow uses.
