[COLOR=#ffffff][FONT=arial][B]Darius Syrossian[/B][/FONT][/COLOR][FONT=lucida grande][FONT=arial][COLOR=#ffffff]Thanks [/COLOR][URL="https://www.facebook.com/ra0ull"][COLOR=#ffffff]Raoull Gri[/COLOR][/URL][COLOR=#ffffff] Im back at the hotel now, didnyou see the security beat me up in the dj booth at the end? I am going to keep my mouth shut about what happned and fully explain what happened at his festival in a couple of days, all i know is that when i played ot was an awesome crowd and atmosphere was unreal, but what people dont know is that i actually paid £1800 for my own flight because bpm dont pay artists, when i arrived at aiport i had to watch all other djs get picked up by bpm representatives but they refused to take me from cancun to playa del carmen, so i payed 100 dollars of my own money, for the 45 min ride and no idea where i am going, and tonight the final straw was while i was playing i get a text from people i put on the guestlist that they refused my guestlist and they had to pay 40 dollars to get in. And because i had a go at them for why my guestlist had to pay. They sent security to the booth to beat me up, in front of the whole crowd, i was having such a great time and i got beaten up by 5 or 6 bpm mexican henchmen, what is funny is they think i care about probably not playing again, i saw myself, for my set how good it was, that party was rammed, atmosphere unreal, but what people dont know is I ACTUALLY PAID to come here and play!!!! I will provide a screen shot of my bank statement, 1800 BA flight! I did it for VIVa, against my managers advice who said darius you are being disrespected, the fact that you are being paid 1000 dollars all in. WHY DO YOU THINK SANTE AND DETLEF WERENT HERE???? Because they had to pay too and refused to do so. But i did it because money isnt main priority for me, i get paid well elswhere all year, but what i COULD NOT accept was making my guestlist pay 40 dollars each and then because i complain they send security to beat me up!! As i walked through the crowd to leave people were saying what happened darius, this is why i have toake this post! Regardless of what happened though.azing crowd in there and what a party, shame i have a broken knee cap i think ad 2 broken ribs.y dignity is number 1 and i know i did no wrong! Money goes to some peoples heads and bpm im sorry but when the truth comes out people will see the real situation

DIGNITY is more important than ANYTHING to me.... i am the most un material person ever, promoters ALWAYS say to me they cant believe my rider has nothing on it except a bottle of tequila and a big smile...... and for this to happen is just so wrong mate, the truth WILL come out, and i have all the evidence and one i see to my injuries, and if i get home in one piece i will PROVIDE ALL EVIDENCE, they even said to me i wont be leaviing mexico, they will make it look like an accident!! as they were beating me up...... yeah they probably said that for effect but even so, what a nunch of jokers, hahahah [/COLOR][/FONT][/FONT][COLOR=#333333][FONT=lucida grande] [/FONT][/COLOR]

Some of these DJ's should be in the musicians should be in the musicians union, paying for your own ticket is bad enough

Re: Darius Syrossian beaten up at gig @ BPM

and the other side comes out.....if he was truly acting like a dick all night as they say he was, then I don't feel as bad for him.

Back I my clubbing days I knew Craig and he is a very stand up guy....I would believe his side to the story

That at story was published before the video came out, security should be trained to restrain and remove people from the event not assault people.

Re: Darius Syrossian beaten up at gig @ BPM

he looks like an asshole imo, i believe the staff, makes no sense for security to walk up to him and start fighting him otherwise.

has that lawler mix been released??

Nice sweeping generalization, but it makes perfect sense to start a fight with security when you're on your own.

^^^^^did you even read the other side to the story? I'm not saying the force they used was a 100% necessary, but he was far from an angel....he was treating staff like crap,etc....they tried to handle it properly by asking him to leave & he refused

I did but I couldn't Andy's statement on the Facebook page, but if you read the statement from Andrew Christoforou he wasn't actually there, he states that

[QUOTE]Near the end of the night, Craig Pettigrew, the festival’s founder simply wanted to talk to you about it professionally. But you chose once again to tell him to fuck off. So that was it for you my friend. We got security to ask you to leave and you refused. One of security grabbed you and you resisted… So we grabbed your gear instead as it was the only way to get you out"[/QUOTE]

However he makes no mention of the fact that Darious was punched in the face, as shown on the video footage that emerged a few days later.
