An email I have today recieved from
jimmasters@digitaldisco.co.uk
never fly Iberia
let me explain........
i've just returned from playing at the vibezone festival in Brazil, great festival,
great crowd etc. etc
however on the way out i flew with iberia via madrid to sao
paulo.
You wont believe it but some motherf****r at Madrid airport stole ALL of my
records - not just took the box stylee, but the little s**t carefully removed every record
from the bags, zipped them back up, put the bags back onto the plane and f****d off with a
lovely collection of new promos, acetates and stuff i had just bought over the last month.
What a f***ing cheek!!!
As you can guess i had quite a shock when i
lifted my featherlight bags up at Sau Paulo and found them empty, fortunately i had Final
Scratch with me & this coupled with some records i picked up in Brazil enabled me to play
without too many problems.
Now I have the nightmare of dealing with Iberias'
customer service, one of the worlds worst but hopefully sometime in the next decade they
might sort out some form of compensation. (You would think they would be helpful - it was a
business class ticket and i'm a gold card holder but then it is Iberia we are talking
about!)
I would recommend anyone to think carefully about flying with Iberia,
especially to/via Madrid, i know this has happened to other dj's at Madrid - sometimes
records, sometimes boxes and its about time that something was done about the s**t way
dj's and their records get treated.
Obviously I cannot remember every record
that i had with me but i can remember most of the labels, artists etc.
Some of you I may
have contacted already with a list of tracks i can remember but if you can send records to
the address below it would help a great deal, also any forthcoming stuff on CD would be
great as i can put it into the Final Scratch system.
I'm looking for tracks that
i may have been sent over the last 3 months and releases from the last 3 months. One bag was
mainly techno, tech-funk, electro & booty and the other predominantly house, tribal, tech,
deep, jazzy etc.
Labels & artists that i can remember include:-
soma,
puzzlebox, 20:20, metro area, prime, relief, onsulade, UR, intec, shaboom, mr velco
fastener, masters at work, beyer, dave clarke, dubtribe, samuel L, russ gabriel,
rush, projex, paper, music man, black flag, red planet, nrk, spettro, brique rouge,
big hair, afroart, debasser, f-comm, pornagraphic, strata, zenit, dark house, morris
audio, chain reaction, minus, +8, freerange, southsoul, classic, end, junior, clr,
murk, twisted, future frontier, subsound, meta, mankind, gigolo, fragile/transmat,
warp, direct beat, highwire, stigmata, yelloworange, chicken lips, rotation, fat cat,
neuton, polyester, bush, dynamic tension, raygun, svek, telepop, 430 west, wallys
groove, sole music, soul jazz, fayo combo, kaos, blueprint, ovum, wiggle, distant,
ing, tango, access 58, q-tape, purpose, central park, mighty atom, I!, cross
section, phil asher, steve rachmad, swayzack, swag,..........
anyway i think
you get the idea!
