Alan Fitzpatrick turned up the heat in Miami

/

Even though there was a low turn out and only "20% of the crowd knew who Marco Bailey and Alan Fitzpatrick were" at the Mansion Club in Miami, Alan Fitzpatrick managed to play a great set nonetheless: 

"The big man gets behind the controls with a giant smile on his face and a wearing a disposition as if he was playing a sold out show at The Ministry of Sound. Usually when a DJ gets on to a so/so crowd on a so/so night you can see it in their face. Not Alan."

I've seen my fair share of shows where the DJ delivers a C-level set when either there was a low turn out or something went wrong with the equipment. It is in these situations where the best DJs in the business make it a great night regardless of the obstacles. I've personally seen Showtek and Birdy Nam Nam rise beyond these challenges, and I'm happy to read that Alan Fitzpatrick has done it too.

Mansion Miami issues apology to DJ Shadow

Excerpt from the apology (Via Miami NewTimes Blog):

"...This error should not have happened and will not happen again, especially as we pride ourselves on creating an environment that cultivates and respects innovators such as DJ Shadow...."

At least they apologized about the incident. But what would be cool is to re-book DJ Shadow in 2013 and offer all of those that were there for the first event free entry. If they did that then I would be really impressed.
