Carnage Throws Tantrum at Hardfest & Defends Himself via Ustream
If you haven’t been on social media over the past few days, first off, you probably live under a rock. Secondly, you missed out on the temper tantrum that DJ Carnage bestowed upon Hard Fest in LA over the weekend. The scene was rainy, nasty, and filled with anger apparently. Whilst JackU (Skrillex and Diplo) were playing on another stage, Carnage was on the Harder Stage and the atmosphere was polar opposites between the two. While there was a temporary pause during Carnage’s set due to rain and technical difficulties, he decided to take the opportunity to express his anger towards Gary Richards and company.
During the standstill of music, Carnage got on the mic and gave a small angry rant to the crowd of Hard Summer. Just as his music cued up, Carnage yells, “F*ck Gary Richards! That [n-word] tried to f*ck me up, but guess what? Chipotle Gang ain’t stoppin’!” Below is a YouTube video of the whole speech that was shot by a spectator:
After the show was over, Carnage got on Twitter and began tweeting about the incident. Here are some of his tweets below:
i will never ever.. let anyone ever talk shit about my squad & the people that support me.. plain and simple

HAHAHAHA do people really think it's from the rain??? … If i did bitch about the rain then yea that's dumb.. But imma let ya know the real

If anyone knows DJ Carnage, then they will know that he does not hesitate to stand up for what he believes in. Carnage probably could have handled the situation differently than blasting Gary Richards and Hard Summer. The next day, Carnage went on Ustream and broadcasted live his version of the story. He began to bash Gary Richards once more, claiming there was a breach in contract and he was not even going to play a set at Hard Summer. Carnage said that he could not to that to Chipotle Gang or LA. Temper tantrums seem to be the trend these days. Recently we’ve seen MiMOSA show his colors in Huston by flipping out on Downlink and pouring Grey Goose vodka on him while on stage. Now we have Mr. Chipotle Gang throwing a fit over his music being “suspiciously cut off.” Hopefully Carnage does not earn himself a spot on Hard Summer’s black list, and maybe he will keep his temper down for the rest of festival season 2014.

‘Vengeance Sound’ Gets Called Out By Madeon For Sample Theft
Copyright infringement seems to be more and more prominent these days in the electronic music world. With the endless ways to make sounds and samples, it would be hard to believe that musical plagiarism could occur. In fact, the act of taking credit of someone else’s work can very well happen at any time. Whether it be accidental or on purpose, some feathers are bound to get ruffled. Yesterday morning, French producer Madeon tweeted a German based sample company by the name of Vengeance Sound, where he claimed that they had stolen some of his songs for samples. Madeon did not throw a tantrum, nor did he attempt to pick a fight with Vengeance Sound. He simply tweeted them very calmly, letting the company know that what they did was “not quite legal.” Manuel Schiels, owner of Vengeance Sounds quickly came to the company’s defense. Schiels replied to Madeon’s tweet, telling him that the samples were all original rebuilds using Nexus Chords and Synths. Madeon did not believe this story from Schiels, though. He asked Vengeance for all of their plugins and he would let bygones be bygones. That is all of the public conversation we could see, as for the rest was handled over private messages. The dispute was later resolved, and the samples were replaced. Madeon conducted himself quite well during the conversation, remaining calm without causing any drama. There are plenty of producers out there who could definitely take notes on Madeon’s behavior. Below is the conversation via Twitter between Madeon and Vengeance Sound’s Manuel Shciels:
Here is what Madeon tweeted later that evening for Vengeance Sound admitting their mistake, and replacing the allegedly stolen samples:
(Btw had a chat with @VengeanceSound props for acknowledging the two infringing samples and replacing them)

Kingdom Rave 15: Bashment Block Party (Recap)
What do you get when you shut down one of the busiest streets in downtown Atlanta, put in bounce houses, zip-lines, and some stages on the street? If you guessed a Kingdom Rave Block Party, then you are absolutely correct! On July 18-19, the organizers behind Kingdom Rave decided to shut down a portion of Spring Street, where the Spring 4th Complex venue is nestled in, to have one big party in the street. A few things that Atlanta is known for, is its outdoor parties, and traffic, lots and lots of traffic.
One of the main organizers of Kingdom Rave announced via Facebook in late June that they were going to shut down part of Spring Street in Atlanta, to throw one of the biggest Kingdom Raves yet. Here is the post below:
Post by MJ Kingdom.
Each Kingdom Rave event, the lineups get better and better. The headliners for this one were Downlink, Loudpvck, Figure, TORRO TORRO, Technoboy, and more! This lineup was full of big talent, along with many other artists from all over. Here is the full lineup flyer below:
Where do I even begin with this? The guys behind Kingdom Rave definitely outdid themselves with this one. I really enjoyed covering this event for both days. From the time the doors opened to the time the doors closed, the music, energy, and good vibes were turned up past eleven. The main stage that was set up outside was the big attraction of the weekend for sure. However, the other stages that were set up around the venue kept the Kingdom Ravers moving all around the place. I really enjoyed how each artists were scheduled; so it was made easy to move about the venue and enjoy the music at each stage.
Both nights I got to enjoy each of the headliners. On Friday night, Downlink was on fire with his heavy hitting dubstep set. The energy was through that tent roof, and I’m sure the surrounding areas of Atlanta heard those wobs. I ventured around after Downlink to the other stages to catch some of the other artists as well. Every stage I visited had wonderful energy and the dancefloors were packed. Even though there was a little wet weather at the end of the night, the ravers kept on raving. I was happy to see everyone stick around even though we had some nasty weather come through for a moment.
Saturday night was just as hyped as Friday. Technoboy brought a little bit of hardstyle to the streets of Atlanta, which is a rare occasion due to its trap background. I was happy to see some hardstyle get some spotlight in a bass heavy city such as Atlanta. Loudpvck kept the energy moving along with their infamous moombahton sound, playing those familiar trap hits we all know and love to turn up to. Figure and TORRO TORRO were the last two sets, and closed out the mainstage on the street. Both of those sets were an awesome transition from heavy bass to some energy-filled big room. I moved inside to the QUAD mainstage, which was taken over by the Trap & Bass record label. The guys with Trap & Bass kept the energy going inside, and had people pouring in after the stage outside closed down for the night.
Overall I believe this was a great success for Kingdom Rave. Each day and night had some amazing sets, and there were plenty of fun attractions to keep the ravers busy as well. I don’t think I talked to anyone who said that they were not having a good time at Kingdom Rave 15. I met many people that were not even from the Atlanta area. In fact, I met handfuls of people that were from surrounding states. Kingdom Rave is beginning to build a name for itself not only locally, but also on a national scale. More and more people are starting to travel to these monthly events that these guys are putting on. I see great things in the future for Kingdom Rave, and it will only get better for them if they keep up the great work.
