In an incident which has rocked the foundations of the electronic music world, it has been revealed that hundreds of top DJ’s have been involved in a betting ring over who can play tech-house tune Domino, by Oxia, the most.
An investigation conducted by the National Association of Disc Jockeys (NADJ), Interpol and the FBI, which has taken place over the past two years, has found evidence suggesting the likes of Carl Cox, Hot Since 82, Nic Fanciulli, Andrea Oliva, Kölsch and every local club DJ from Dundee to Sydney have been tricking ravers into believing the song is still a hit despite it being released over ten years ago.
“We cannot tolerate illegal betting rings, which are designed to trick innocent ravers, within the DJ community,” announced Director of Musical Credibility for the FBI, Bobby Sloan. “Ravers pay good money to hear cutting edge, new electronic music with the odd golden oldie thrown in. So we do not appreciate these guys playing the same record in every single set to try and earn a bit of cash off each other. It is morally wrong and it has to stop.”
Wunderground asked twenty seven year old Nick Chantler, from Kent, England, what he made of the recent findings, “To be honest, I am not at all surprised. When I first heard this tune a few years ago at a festival I basically shit and pissed my pants in one go, it was that much of a belter. I had it on repeat for weeks after. Then I heard it again and again and again. Before I knew it, three years had passed and DJ’s were still using it as the pinnacle of their set. Last weekend I heard the intro coming in so decided to take action and poke hot rods into my ears. I am now temporarily deaf but at least it gives me some relief from hearing that fucking tune.”
English DJ Hot Since 82 has released an official statement on the matter, “I deeply regret my actions and on behalf of every DJ involved, would like to apologise to any ravers who think we have taken them for a ride. We didn’t think anybody would notice and it was all just a bit of fun that got out of control. For the record, I won the bet as I have played it in every single one of my sets since 2012, which totals twelve hundred times. I assure you all money won from the other DJ’s will be donated to a charity for the deaf.”
