Six DJs Who Got Kicked Off The Decks

A recent viral video of deep house don Kerri Chandler preaching throughout his set about not playing"commercial shit" at Rex Club Paris last Sunday got us thinking again about the whole "keeping it real" kerfuffle and how much electronic dance music has evolved from its grungy warehouse days to its present Grammy friendly state. Part of any subculture blowing up is the inevitable crossover from underground to mainstream. Considering how many parties jump off around the world every night, there should be a time and a place for everyone under EDM's burgeoning umbrella. In the spirit of the old 'peace love unity respect' rave mantra, we take a quick look back at some recent booking mishaps in hopes of educating promoters and new fans, and keeping the EDM vibe on a positive tip as it continues its conquest of pop music. -->
