The rumours are true. Mistabishi is a complete and utter fake. I went to Bassment presents Hospitality @ Bar Mango in Reading last night and it was awesome. High Contrast and Logistics both played wicked sets, i was having a great time until i went up to the balcony (which overlooks the DJ booth) at the beginning of Mistabishi's set and watched him play a mix CD on a CDJ and prick about pressing buttons for a whole hour! I litterally couldn't believe my eyes!! He put vinyl on the decks then pretended to mix them...even though it was the same 2 vinyl the whole night! How do i know? Because i watched him take a vinyl off a turntable, put it in his bag, get it BACK out then put it on the other turn table and pretend to mix it! The guy spent so much time dancing like a penis behind the decks in not supprised he couldnt mix. It's annoyed me a little bit because the Bassment guys work so hard to put nights on and with the exception of Mistabishi it was a wicked night! Let this be a lesson to all you promoters out there, he charges hundreds of pounds to turn up and play a mixed cd. Shout out to the Bassment family. xXx

Mistabishi was contracted to do a set using just studio hardware, effectively performing his tunes live. Me and Mistabishi turned up to Mango a good couple of hours before his set time at 3am to give him enough time to set all the equipment up to enable hm to perform a live set. This equipment included an Akai digital sampler/mixer, something similar to an Akai APC40 but twice the size (it's about a metre in legth). Well it turned out that there was not enough room to set it up, and therefore, he was forced to mix CD's and the few vinyl that he had. As you lot have discovered he doesnt care for mixing vinyl, he wants to move onto performing live from now on, so since he was unable to perform live, he was forced to go back to his old tricks. I'm sure you will agree, especially the creator of this thread since you had a good view of the stage (or lack of it), that no consideration had been given by the promoter to enable him to set up his machines so they stayed in the back of my car all night!

thanks for this chaps. basically, you guys love to play records, so you play at these nights so you can do what you love. i love to make records, so you ask me to come do play the records i make. steve and dan wanted me at thier night to play the stuff i make. they asked me to bring my hardware setup down so my brother (qv, stands for Quadrofolio Verde) kindly drove me down with a boot full of kit. there was no where for me to set it up sadly so i played two cd's with all my tunes on it, plus a few vinyls i had on me (Hive Neo rmx, disco dodo, and I Told You How To Rock, oh yeh and diplodocus which goes really well with my Printer tune). if you book me at your night to use my machines, at least have the courtesy to provide the space for me to set them up. You did a good job making that little place look like a Hospital records event tho. props to the effort on that side of things and the crowd seemed to respond really well to the tunes that everyone played.

PLEASE READ...... This is how it was regarding Mistabishi. 1. We tried to contact mistabishi for two weeks leading up to the event, with no reply. 2. When he turned up on the night his rig was one akai sampler, i asked him what he needed and he said a phono lead out of the back of a cdj would be fine to connect the sampler. I did this and he promptly said he needed 3/4 inch jack connector to connect it to the akai sampler. 3. We then found him a phono to 3/4 inch jack lead which would of connected the sampler to the mixer and he said" its fine i've sorted something else out." 4. With regards to the space we could of quite easily moved the 3rd deck in the dj box, which would of given him ample room for his rig. 5. It felt like he didnt want to perform live, he then played cd's and to my horror watched him pretend to dj when the pre mixed cd's were doing the work. i dont understand why he could just mix his tunes like a dj should do. 6. We think that mistabishi is a excellent producer but feel cheated on how he performed, we thought the pre made mix cd's was a myth. A lot of our residents was watching him above the dj box and he was definately pretending. Our night has been running for 5 years and we are always pushing the boundaries and doing things in Reading a bit different, mistabishi set was definately different but in the wrong way. Last night was our 5th birthday and for someone to do this on such an important night has left us speechless. We would like to thank everyone who came last night and thanks to the hospitality team for letting us put on this night. Bassment team

In the last photo from sonar you can clearly see that mistabishi is pressing the cdj which is turned off while he is fannying about looking like a dj
