"Peter, am I on the list?"


Hey everyone, the new MOIST is up on the homepage, its a great mix of old and new that I've already been playing on repeat for myself, so I hope you enjoy it too! Nothing like some Ace of Base alongside your Alan T., right? http://www.circuitcadence.com/

||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Hopefully you are aware that Circuit Cadence is a big supporter of any circuit party, but even so - our heart is where the circuit was culled: charity. So it should come as no surprise that we're thrilled to be an official media partner with the Winter Party Festival this year! Since we don't maintain a traditional email list, I've created another page to get you all the hot information regarding this year's festival! Not only does it include the standard fare email blast, but we're taking the opportunity to say "FUCK OFF" to bullshit petty drama queens and tell them to get off the circuit, while we're at it!

The page is just now live, within minutes ago, for the first time, and as soon as you arrive you'll first see our plea that anyone attending with us this year, DO NOT attend the Peter Rauhofer event. I love him as a DJ, in fact - years ago, at Mansion (might have been Level back then), Peter spinning as part of the official Winter Party events, was where I first heard him live and fell in love with his sound. But come on, now opting not to spin with the festival (assuming he'd be invited, which I believe he would) to instead prey on charity? Go the fuck back to Austria with that bullshit! Let me guess, not enough to already be thankful for with your success and celebrity, so better make sure people who can't afford HIV meds or food, don't get that little bit either? There's a whole website created, stoppeter.com, by some people who seem equally as outraged as I am, we link to it from the new page as well.

Finally, before we get down to business and fun and giving back, we have a few words for WPF themselves, from our soapbox, since they aren't necessarily making it easy to stave off the threats of Peter & Co. with recent practices. It's all at: http://circuitcadence.com/winter-party/


UPDATED - FOLLOW UP/REPLY & REBUTTAL


In response to my earlier commentary, a member sent me the following link, which is actually a terrific article and certainly adds more perspective to the whole situation. I would encourage you to read it as well, especially if you plan on attending Winter Party Festival. Once you have done so, I felt my response to the specifics of the article, was worth sharing with you all..

The article:

My final thoughts:

That's a great article -----, thanks for sharing! I'm not sure how I missed, it, buried amongst my own heap of stuff at the moment I guess...

It was very well written and notably unbiased, which is a HUGE factor in me granting that type of piece any inkling of credibility, as soon as I sense even a slight bias, I tend to ditch-out and presume it to be misleading.

That said, having had PR and marketing education in my background, this is a classic stance and really the only possible one, for Rauhofer to take - and to not sound like a total schmuck. Unfortunately, while he has this appearance of Scandal and vendettas on his side for Winter Party, he's been doing this for a long time against White Party Miami, and this strategy is a simple cookie cutter of that. No matter what circumstances lead to the inability to work together, for me there is simply no way of doing the math at the end, and determining that its okay to harm a charitable event. If it isn't directly targeted at leeching attendees who are visiting explicitly for Winter Party, then why wouldn't he just hold it another weekend?

I find it very hard to believe this is a matter of circumstance and poor appearances - he is quite calculatingly intent on "proving a point" or stroking his own ego, that whether he ultimately succeeds or loses, ends up with him fattening his bank account at the direct cost of community organizations that do real good. I am the first one to raise issue with some of the practices taking place by the Task Force, as you can see on that same page where I hold them to task. However, there's no way to "punish" them, without punishing the charities that they ultimately benefit - they wouldn't exist if not for those charities.

If Peter is truly a nice guy, he will donate 100% of proceeds to a Task Force "competitor" community service charity. I fear that would be a cold day in Hell, however...
