kenl Posted September 19 Report Share Posted September 19 Found this on my friends website... Statement from Celtronic (Derry Ireland)We would rather be sitting at this stage reminiscing about a greatnight butinstead we feel compelled to set the record straight about theactions of MissKittin at our event on Friday night past. After years ofnegotiations, wefinally secured a date for Miss Kittin to play at our clubnight. Itwas a nightwe were really looking forward to enjoying ourselves but due to theactions ofMiss Kittin, we found this impossible. In all our time of promotingparties, wefeel we have never been treated so badly by a visiting artist.The venue we had chosen to put Miss Kittin on was The Nerve Centrewhere we haveput on a variety of DJ's and live acts including Laurent Garnier,Dave Clarke,X-Press 2, Mylo, 2020 Soundsystem, Jon Carter, Layo & Bushwacka,JustinRobertson, Slam, Paul Daley, Tom Middleton, Erol Alkan, AndrewWeatherall, LeeBurridge, Mr C, David Holmes, DJ Format & MC Abdominal, RadioactiveMan,Fingathing, Silicone Soul, Umek, Craig Richards, James Zabiela,Billy Nasty,Jazzanova, James Lavelle, Scratch Perverts, DJ Craze, ThePsychonauts, Si Begg.The Nerve Centre has also hosted some of the biggest names in rockmusicincluding The Thrills, The Undertones, Ian Brown, The Zutons,Embrace, Gomez,David Gray, Sinead O'Connor, The Doves.Miss Kittin was picked up at Belfast Airport by taxi whichtransported her toThe Tower Hotel in Derry where we had booked her the most expensivesuite aswell as an additional room for her manager. On meeting Miss Kittinand hermanager outside the hotel and welcoming them to our city, we weregreeted byMiss Kittin with `It's fucking freezing' - no hello, nothing.On returning to the hotel to bring Miss Kittin and her manager tothe club, weadvised Miss Kittin that the club was next door to the hotel so wewould walk tothe club. After walking no more than 15 metres, Miss Kittin stoppeddead in hertracks and said `This is next door… where is the fucking club?' Wetold MissKittin that the club was just another 30 metres away round thecorner.We then took Miss Kittin to the boardroom of The Nerve Centre wherewe had alarge range of drinks, fruit and various snacks prepared for her.Initiallyrefusing a drink, Caroline then said `How am I meant to enjoy myselftonight.It took me six fucking hours to get here and I'm fucking freezing. Icould havebeen in New York'. Prior to booking her extremely expensive flights,we hadsuggested several alternative travel options to Miss Kittin thatwould have gother to Derry quicker. We also warned her of the regular delays thattake placeat Heathrow on Friday evenings. However there was no flexibilitywith MissKittin regarding flights.Miss Kittin eventually decided to have a bottle of water butcomplained that shedid not want the water if it was too cold as she wasalready `fucking freezing'.We then brought Miss Kittin upstairs to the venue to commence herset. We prideourselves on providing everything artists ask for. The setup onstage wasperfect, as was asked for in the contract. Both our resident DJ'stried tointroduce themselves to Miss Kittin but were greeted with ahateful `I don'tunderstand you'. After starting her set, we are informed by hermanager thatthere was a problem. Basically, the problem was that Caroline wasused toplaying in bigger venues in front of larger crowds. At this stagethe venue wasonly open an hour and there were nearly 300 people in the venue andthere werepeople still coming in to the club.We are then informed that Miss Kittin will play for 1 hour only andthat weshould have one of our DJ's ready to take over. Informed by hermanager thatthere was no way of changing her mind, one of our residents tookover from MissKittin after she had played 75 minutes. At the end of the night,when paying herfee to her manager, we asked what should we say to the clubbers whohad came tothe club to hear Miss Kittin. He informed us that we shouldlie, `tell thepeople she was sick or something as she has fans and she would notwant todisappoint her fans.'These are the fans that she refused to acknowledge all night andbasicallyrefused to play for. We have always found that truth is the bestpolicy and weare not going to change now and we don't believe feigning illnessfor MissKittin to keep her reputation intact as a good enough reason tochange thispolicy. Within the genres of music we promote, we find that themajority ofpeople that we invite to play are likeminded people, sociable andpolite butmore importantly professional. In almost eight years of putting onparties, MissKittin is the outstanding exception to this rule.We have been lucky enough to host some of the world's top DJ's andproducersover the years who always retain a sense of honesty and humility.Derry may notbe as cosmopolitan as New York, Paris or Milan but you will be hardpushed tofind a more receptive or passionate crowd. Most visiting DJ'scomment on thegreat reaction and warmth of the people. There is no excuse or validreason forMiss Kittin's actions on Friday night. She was getting paid a lot ofmoney toplay records for a couple of hours. All we wanted was for her to doher job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

funeralhome Posted September 20 Report Share Posted September 20 i don't know what to say about that. my favorite dj is a bitch??? yes.....who cares.. like all these superstar internationally known uber rich dj's aren't all assholes. i'm sure someone will point out *someone* who isn't. although we'd all like to believe our dj's are all about blah blah blah, it eventually becomes business and yes, people become rude and what not oh and yes, finally their parties begin sucking comparable to what happened to dt. another thing i don't get.. she plays only small parties here. i don't understand how the size of the venue or the amount of people would bother her when she always spins at these wack ass places in new york. i guess she really did want to be here. don't blame her. nothing like minnesota hipster trash drooling over you in LES.

fratpat Posted September 20 Report Share Posted September 20 thats a pretty horrible story....i've read some interviews w/her and knew she was weird as hell, but not just a total ungrateful bitch....i've only seen her once, earlier this summer at amnesia in ibiza doing live PA with the Hacker....i've gotta admit it was a great, unique set but she didnt seem into the crowd at all.....
