JUST FOR THE RECORD... MADDERS / SUNDISSENTIAL DID NOT MAKE ANY MONEY FROM THIS EVENT. THE EVENT MADE A LOSS HOWEVER THE CHARITY STILL BENEFITED DUE TO THE KIND DONATIONS INTO THE SEALED CHARITY BUCKETS.



For those of you who did not have an enjoyable night I would like to apologise on behalf of the sundissential team.



To address a few other issues;

Sound System (Hardcore)

Towards the middle of the night there was a problem with the sound system in the hardcore arena, this sound system and all other kit in that room is the clubs own kit. We had the custard factory sound engineer on site through this event. As soon as we were able to locate him, (which took quite a while) the problem was fixed.


The sound system during Riggsy’s set (Sundissentisl Room)

This arena is usually an empty art gallery. For this room the sound system was supplied Adam at the custard factory. Adam and Joe from the custard factory unfortunately did not have the sound system set up in time for Riggsy to do a sound check. For this reason it did not sound as good as it would have if Riggsy had of managed to do his sound check.


BELOW IS A QUOTE FROM SHAUN H (Sundissential)

Equipment was not set up, sound engineer had only just turned up and was more concerned with wandering around aimlessly chatting to people rather than having this all done, sound checked and ready to go by midday on Saturday... no it was only at 8:15 when the lights went up in the 'main' room and they started to set up the dj equipment at about 8:45, no sound check, no limitation set just straight in to music @ about 9:30.

Then as people were loitering around, not knowing what to do i was instructed to go with the sound engineer and fetch a huge fuck off table to put in the main room and also to lug 2 bass bins up 2 flights of stairs along with 2 top speakers (bearing in mind this was 8:45 and the event was supposed to open at 9) to put in the juniorssential room which was bare,...

Once the system was wired up, there was just tops plugged in and the bass bins were just acting as speaker stands for the tops.



Organ Donors & Dark By Design.

These acts were booked to play and turned up on time to perform their sets. At the time they arrived the money from the door till had been confiscated by the custard factory management to try and ensure the rental costs, doorstaff, sound system hire, (eane tho given the choice we would not have chosen to pay this due to the amount of problems and the fact the systems were not ready on time) lighting hire and drinks rider costs were paid. The custard factory were aware of the numbers through the door during the night and had got suspicious about the profitability of the event. In order to safeguard their money they confiscated all monies in the door till. By the custard factory confiscating the door money, this meant there was no money available to pay the final 2 acts (Dark by Design) and (Organ Donors) on arrival. They were informed of what had gone on by both Sundissential representatives and the venue management. They were also informed that this was a charity event with all profits going to the Hereford Hospice. They were given the choice of playing or not playing and they both decided not to play.




As stated before Madders / Sundissential did not make ANY money from this event. The event was a charity event to benefit the Hereford Hospice. All of those out there calling Sundissential money grabbers should maybe stop to ask yourself, are you comments really justified? Because this event has lost money however the charity has still benefited.


Once again sorry to those of you who didnt enjoy your night and THANK YOU again for those of you who put donations into the charity boxes.

i could tell you the excuse i got given but you might laugh...

To blame Custard Factory for the sound issues is a right laugh, I have been to many events at Custard Factory and there have never been any sound issues or fuck ups of the like, however... most of the sunnys I have been to have always had these problems. Lets face it, Sunnys is dying a terrible death I think its about time Madders fucked off and left it alone, make room for some decent hard house promotions and stop trying to relive the old days wioth 'classics' nights.

All this said, I did have a great time in the funky room thanks to Simon Vegas :-)

go on... i could do with a laugh this afternoon.

Basically he wated the royal treatment to come over and play, flights, accomodation, transfers to & from airport plus drinks etc.

May be true but if you ask me, seems very convenient.... plus he would have always wanted to come play at a gig in Tony De Vit's name more than any?

To be fair I think that's bollox coz people who have spoken to him since have said he told them he was never booked, which I think we all knew anyway but even if for a second the excuse u were given was true why should he not be entitled to that sort of treatment. i don't know any big name DJ that would come over from Spain to play a gig and not expect his lfights and accom paid for and to be brough to the gig from the airport. One of my mates plays internationally (not in the HH scene) every wkend and would be appalled if a promoter wanted him to pay for his own flights and accom for a gig abroad.

thats exactly what i was thinkin!!! if a dj has to fly over thats what he would expect!! sunnies u fail big time lol

No one can say that scamissential doesnt treat its artists, production crew and punters with the same equal contempt.

I'd be fucking livid if i'd agreed to play for free "cos its for charity" to find out its not.

So glad i didnt.

Of course, no promoter would expect that but they had basically told him its costs and nothing else

To me it just seems as though they were trying to use him living in ireland as an excuse for a reason as to why he didnt play.

I did say in posts a few weeks ago that if steve thomas didnt play, i wouldnt play and i didnt.

Of course they were. Its bollox and insulting to the clubbers to expect them to just believe it and not questio it, esp when other dj's who are in contact with steve have already said that he told them himself he wasnt booked. For anyone who doesn't know the real reasons that he didnt turn up tho it looks bad on Steve. Incidents like that can be career damaging. Also for gazwest and Organ Donors, who to a lot of clubbers that night, just didnt turn up. We know that wasn't the case but until they find out otherwise it can look bad on the dj's.

Having just got off the phone with Acorns children hospice I have found out that as yet, they have received no money in relation to sundissential and have not heard anything about this event. They also mentioned they would normally know if an event is raising money for their charity so that they could make sure averything is above board using their secure YELLOW boxes! Obviously they were shocked when i said people were being force to make a donation and said theres no way on earth they would condone that.

Either there has been a mix up with admin on the Acorns behalf (or just simply the cheque hasn't reached them at the time of writing this) or we've been taken for a ride!

Does anyone have a name of the promotor I can get back to them with?

Madders and Nathan. I know madders real name is paul, no idea of his or nathan's surname tho hun i'm sure one of the dj's playin on sat would know.

thats fuckin disgraceful!!!!! they need stringin up if this is true!!!!!

nothing wrong with that! every month at bionic when we book foreign acts ur treated that way! the same as if u dj in another country they look after u aswell!

Steve Thomas is 100% booked for this thats for sure

damn im in brighton for my mates wedding!!!!!

hmmm rather fishy that they were using big open top'd red buckets to collect the money in !! To be honest none of this surprises me and im sure more than £170 was collected that night for the so called charity as i saw people putting in 1/2 pounds at a time !
Lying CUNTS !!

This will be unreal! Andy Farley b2b Steve thomas & Andy Farley b2b Pete Wardman.
This is my personal best line up of all time :)

Sunnies promised a copy of the cheque would be scanned and posted on DSI when it was sent has anyone seen it yet?

I'd say YES and you have one day to prove me wrong

I am picking up a distinct smell of red and yellow shit here!
