Bono Boots DJ

VinylJunkie

DJ ATFC has accused U2 men Bono and the Edge of ordering him off the decks at French nightspot La Baoli Cannes last weekend (August 7), after he failed to switch from playing house to R&B.

Ridiculing the rock stars for looking like ‘two old dudes in shades, dancing like your dad in the VIP area’, the Defected Records producer/ DJ (aka One Phat Deeva aka Aydin) claimed he misheard the promoter’s command to switch genres, before being kicked off unceremoniously 75 minutes into his set.

“Bono always does this; he doesn't like listening to the same music all night and now wants some R&B.” Aydin said the promoter told him, “I presume you haven't got any, so I'm going to have to put my resident back on who has,” he added.

Whether the promoter was tricking him remains unclear, though Aydin told Skrufff he remained gutted about being taken off early anyway.

“I was playing straight down the line house music - nothing too out there or inappropriate - in fact, people were dancing on tables and hanging from the ceiling,” he sighed, “though I didn’t have any R&B anyway. The closest I can get to R&B in my CD wallet are house mixes of hip hop tracks - Missy Elliot, P Diddy,”

He also confessed to ‘flicking Bono a secret finger once his minder’s back was turned’ as he slunk away and sounded distinctly cross with the enormously popular popsters.

“I bought the Best Of U2 on CD once,” he confessed, “But I had to sell it on Ebay after the desire to throw myself under a train grew too powerful.” He also compared the band unfavourably to supposed bad boy dance stars the Prodigy.

“Coming back from the Winter Music Conference in Miami this year myself and Simon Dunmore from Defected were travelling upstairs on a BA flight back with The Prodigy,” said ATFC.

“There's not many seats up there so it was basically us and them so Simon and I started egging each other on to shout 'I'm a Firestarter!' in Keith’s face just as he was falling asleep.”

“We didn't though,” he added, “They're all very well spoken and polite I'm pleased to say. And I met Norris McWerter at Record Breakers once,” he concluded, “Does that count as an unusual VIP encounter?”

Aye, it does a bit alright, although Bono is an incomparable prick TBF

The DJ lad sounds like he'd be worse if he had Bono's profile though.
Reputation or not, anyone that screams in my face when I'm trying to get asleep on a plane gets lamped, simple as.

I ****ing hate RnB and Bono.

Hahahah i don't mind Bono that much but anyone who wants the DJ to change music just cause they don't like it, is a W@nker.

Remember when Paris Hilton tryied to kick Bob Sinclair off the decks?

Yeah it reminded me of that story. Although in this case the DJ seems to be as big a Muppet.

Reminds me of the time in The Kitchin (Bono and the Edge's former club?) when that English black model demanded the DJ to play Spice Girls or some whit and he refused. Seems like house rules didn't apply in this case...

I've said this before and I'm prepared for the feedback...

Princess Diana would demand that lady in red was played whenever she was in a club. The royal family didn't have her killed....a load of london based DJ's got together and had the bitch killed.

Regardless of ATFC being a bit of an egit, Bono is a dickhead for demanding the music to change. ATFC was on the bill and people would have payed to see him play. When beyonce and JayZ went to see U2 in New York, did they demand that U2 play some R'N'B because they were getting bored of all the U2 tracks that U2 were playing?

Don't go to a house music gig, or any other gig and then get pissed off about the music. St.Bono Shortarse. Fooking tax dodging prick is all he is. Heal the world me arse. Media whore more like.

That was Aiden Kelly on the decks and the model was Naomi Campbell who wanted her utterly ****E "Swan" played, he refused, she threw a strop and he left/was kicked out after some verbals

I was resident in the Kitchen on Fridays and Bono asked could he hear The Propellor Head's History Repeating, I just told him i didnt do requests (it was a techno night after all) and that was that,

Fair play for sticking to your guns, Francois. I'm sure a lot of people would have been intimidated if they saw Bono approaching, particularly in his own club!
