The RIP thread...

David Mancuso

Can 2016 please stop being so shit

Love Saves The Day.

Farewell.

Fuck no!

I knew that his health had been poor, one of the last Loft parties I helped on production he came over to the UK but was too unwell to play.

He was a wonderful humble shamanic shambles and his ability to tell a story with records was incredible.

2016 can get to fuck

^ this

I mean whoever next, Graeme Norton? James Corden? Noel Gallagher?

Absolutely, Schimanski in the summer.

Musical heroes are usually the stuff of teenage fanbois but fuck me David Mancuso was the absolute fucking untouchable don of music you should be dancing to.

Find the Shibuya FM 7 hour broadcast of one of his partys for a snapshot of an absolute master at work.

Wow, Fidel Castro gone... ✌️

Cue a bunch of fawning about how revolutionary and cool he was etc...

Dude was a straight up dictator.

You're first in line for the gulag. If the revolution ever comes.

Jean-Claude Risset too :( Utter genius

There were a lot of things wrong with Cuba, life would've been far easier if the rest of the world hadn't sent them to Coventry... I had family there, they all managed to get to Spain, they were living in pretty tough conditions... All highly educated but hustling day to day just to put food on the table...

What could've been...

Cigars out tonight.

#anyexcuse

Farewell Pauline Oliveros.
