I have been payed everytime i have played a massive intent show... and i know everyone else has gotten payed also. So all of you that say they dont pay there dj's dont know what there talking about....

Just to point out the guy/girl dogging on Forrest as being a ridiculous fool, if Massive Intent needed money since Divas, I don't see how they could have afforded Ferry Corsten, an eighty-thousand dollar DJ in addition to the countless other headliners they had between Divas all the way until the "No-Showtek" concert this past Saturday.

I will state for the record that the butt hurt local crew from Austin talking all the trash, the Tree House Tribe, should probably back off seeing as they failed to follow through with previous events they were throwing since Heroes VS Villains which was canceled. And simply because one of their DJs, Nate B, who for all intents and purposes is a great guy and DJ, was not selected to play during the New Years Massive doesn't give them a right to *** about MI. Basic point in the above matter is, MI has money, Tree House Tribe needs to do less QQ, more pew pew. Enough said.

Back to the matter at hand.

Speaking with members of Massive Intent, Andrew Morehouse being one of them along with a few others who shall remain nameless, and reviewing the evidence and statements posted by Massive Intent and Showtek's management, I'm simply going to say that Showtek is at fault.

Massive Intent that night had offered them their money. Showtek and their management at the last second demanded unreasonably that it all be in cash, which was absolutely ridiculous considering that the banks were closed already and nowhere in Showtek's contract does it say that it needs to be paid in cash. They were offered pay pal, wired transfer, and even a check. They said no. Showtek demanded cash and honestly, it was unreasonable for them to do so.

Showtek has been notorious for not showing to events, which is why Q-Dance has dropped them. Showtek has already developed their reputation for failing to deliver to their fans and this is absolute fact and cannot be disputed.

Despite this, me being the hardstyle enthusiast as I am, came out to the concert in order to see them because quite frankly before this past weekend, I loved Showtek's music, old and new. I was honestly excited to see an inspirational international headliner who had released such good music that had such a good message.

What was proven to me was that Showtek was not in it for the music. Whatever dispute, money or otherwise, could have been handled after the concert, but no. Showtek chose to disappoint their fans and ***, making unreasonable requests before going on, and for all intents and purposes, ruined their following here in the hard dance scene in Texas.

One of the people working on setting up, who shall remain nameless, heard one of the members of Showtek complaining about the lack of a barricade because they were afraid that fans would "rush the stage." Honestly, if you're an international headliner, you're going to have a few crazy fans that are going to try to get up on stage regardless of a barricade or not. They also had almost ten police officers there who could have easily blocked off anyone who would have attempted such a feat and escorted them out.

Showtek had already been in Austin since earlier in the day. They easily could have gone to the venue, played their set, and discussed whatever issues they had after the fact. Showtek did not answer their phones, would not answer their door at the hotel, and did not make any statement about playing until 1 in the morning on their Twitter that they would not play. This was unacceptable. No artist, no matter how large or well known, is never too good to deliver to the fans. Showtek has simply proven again that they are in it for the money, not the music.

People are complaining about Massive Intent failing over and over again when honestly, it's people nit picking little details to make Massive Intent look like they don't deliver. Take the Anne Savage incident from Future Fest of 09.

Anne Savage, 1 on the 20 headliners, could not make it to this massive. A statement was released by Massive Intent that Anne Savage could not obtain a working Visa and therefore could not be allowed spin at Future Fest. Many people have said that it was because Massive Intent didn't have money, but somehow they managed to pay the 19 other headliners. It's clear that people can't do math so let me try and help with a simple equation.

Future Fest = 20 Headliners - 1 Headliner = 19 Headliners all of whom were paid in addition to the other local DJs that were paid, excluding a few locals who will be nameless, who were not because they asked for entirely too much.

People also have been getting onto Massive Intent for shady beginnings that started in California. I will not say that these beginnings are true or not, but disregarding where Massive Intent came from and the methods of how they got here, they have done a great thing by bringing massive events back to the Texas scene and have been doing successful shows for over a year now. Despite Massive Intent's roots, their dedication to our scene and the memories they've brought me and the many other electronic dance music faithfuls have given them my full support.

In regards to Showtek, I'd like to point out a few messages stated in your music.

"I live for the music."
If this were the case, you would have played despite whatever financial issues you supposedly had with Massive Intent.

"I won't back down, the world is my playground."
Clearly this past weekend, you backed down and Texas certainly is no longer part of your playground as you have easily destroyed your fan base here.

"I'm willing to die for the cause."
But not willing to suck up some financial issue for the cause? What is your cause then? Money. It's just money to you.

I'll ask you this, Showtek. Why should you take life so seriously? I thought you enjoyed the music and I thought you loved to get hardstyle fanatics up and moving. Clearly I was mistaken.

I no longer appreciate any of the messages in your music because they come from hypocritical sell outs like yourselves. You're detrimental to the hard dance following all over the world and you should go back and rethink your actions and re-learn what it means to be about the music and not the money.

I'm also thankful you gave Moonstruck Red, a local from our Dallas scene a chance to take up the stage and prove that he can bring it hard at an event. The spot light for him was everything he deserved for his dedication to the music. Sparticus, Noel, and Ryle all put on a great show that night. Noel and Sparticus even came back for the last time slot and did a tag set together long after their sets were over. It just goes to show that some people appreciate the music and are willing to go the extra mile for music.

I hope that this actually makes some impact on you and your management and the people that believe what Showtek did was okay. What Showtek did was brash, unacceptable, and childish. If you believe anything otherwise, you're probably ignorant of the facts or you're just another person on the "hate Massive Intent" band wagon.

Showtek, your actions were disgraceful to the hard dance following.

Their's one golden rule in entertainment bizniz, you always pay the artist and you just don't mess with that. So all credits go to Showtek for eliminating a bad promotor that does stuff like this more often!

I'm not sure if you have realized this but... yes it is the largest but also alot cheaper than TCEC. TCEC decided to TERMINATE the contract with MI due to financial reasons. (as some of us were told, they have been broke and beggin for money since DIVAS). Alex is hella right yall, shut the **** up and stop riding showteks ass.

FTMI
FTS

SHOWTEK RULES!!!!

o and forrest ur retarded ciao

Showtek i love you come to hannover

You guys have so many fans here in Austin TX and we got f*cked over big time. I don't blame you , even when you dissapointed me. MI is the one to blame, but please come back and make it up to your fans

Massive intent is a shit company and don't blame Showtek FGS! Please please please come back. I'm sure you must feel sorry for ya fans to and the yall who don't understand are just stupid! I love you SHOWTEK!!! WE NEED YOU IN TEXAS!

MI just *** the boys, Showtek agreed on a landed fee (which includes airline tickets) Showtek booked their roundtrip (Seattle included), and MI just doesn’t pay one Dollar to the guys. So don’t blame the wrong guys, we all need to get our money back from Massive Intent screw ups! Ass holes!

hahaha alex, so MI *** over TCEC so they decided to go with apache pass???
hahaha NO!
It's the biggest outdoor venue in texas, so i can see why they want to go there,
hahaha, thats some really funny stuff.
So insomniac decided to go to apache pass because they knew before hand that the city of dallas would be mad at insomniac and never let them back? no, it's an amazing location, so they went to it.

Did anyone forget that q dance doesn't allow showtek at their events anymore for this shit?

first of all Andrew Morehouse needs to shut the *** up. He's just butt hurt cause he secretly knows he is getting raped my MI and Jimmy himself. Go cry to someone else hun cause no one wants to hear about your false facts about what happened.
Second of all, how the *** can true Showtek fans put the blame on Showtek? At the very least look at the fact that money issues go through the agent and the crew throwing the party so back the *** off of Showteks nuts.
and last but not least, MI has had so many people coming forward with *** that 100% shows that they are full of shit...
sooooo...Showtek, i love you guys, please come back to Texas at some point and make my year! don't see this as what Texas has to offer. The real ravers with that hardstyle flavor will be here waiting!

xoxo
*** Massive Fail

Will somebody PLEASE tell me where to find the pictures from "electronic stereophonic" in Seattle, June 18th??? The meet and greet pictures specifically....

is everyone forgetting the recent issue with EDC/FF aka the incident between insomniac events, disco donnie & MI?

i'm not claiming to know what really went on with the whole showtek issue, but i definitely think that the validity of MI's claims are questionable.

i'm not bending one way or another, as i think there is obviously some major miss-communication issues here, but i def smell the stench of BS in the air.

@Executive Raver... aka Andrew. nah nah nah nah.... Massive faulted. you work for them and know very well how many times they have screwed up and screwed over all their fans but covered their asses to hide it. Yes actually, hell why not. i might as well bring them back and try to make it happen cause we all hella know that massive intent cant do it.

@ Alex Arnold - Why don't your bring them back then Alex? And I believe one of our smaller local companies had to throw a free event to make up for one of their mess ups. in fact, I'm pretty sure it wasn't until the day before the event that was supposed to happen that it was found out the event wasn't going to take place. Said local company did the same thing MI is doing. Was it said local companies fault that the event didn't take place as planned?

You should know better than than that Alex.
