Overview
- An Instagram account run by a former agency employee, 'bradnolimit', published sexual-violence claims against multiple Hardtechno DJs that reporting describes as largely vague and not verifiable.
- Open Beatz confirmed it removed several Hardtechno acts from its lineup, calling the move a precautionary decision after learning of concerns through public discussion rather than direct complaints.
- Accused artists issued denials, with Shlømo calling the posts a defamation campaign as his lawyers move to take legal action against the account for alleged defamation and document forgery; Fantasm also rejected the claims in a video statement.
- Agency Steer Management said it is reviewing the allegations and removed other posts from its Instagram page, while multiple DJs announced they were leaving the roster.
- The collective MeToo DJs said nearly 100 people from various countries have submitted reports, as some artists acknowledged issues publicly, including DJ CARV admitting to sending intimate photos and ending his career and Odymel noting an ongoing proceeding.
