    Chris Fortier Absolute Hero!!

    We had a wee bit of drama here on Friday , One of our best dance crews , Darkbeat, Had organized a massive 24 hour birthday party. Four internationals , Dave Seaman, Nic Fanculli, Chris Fortier, and Layo and Bushwacka ! The idea was to start with a 4 hour boat cruise on which Dave Seaman [appropriate] was to play ! Half an hour before setting sail Dave decided he had had tooo hard a night in Sydney and wasn't going to play. Chris Fortier had been in the country from Los Angeles for two hours. He not only played that gig He played the Sunrise set at the club, He was actually booked for sunset! , played at another club on Saturday night, and then played again last night. A true champion and a superb Dj as well.

    It's annoying that he gave up his prime spot and Dave Seaman stil got a prime slot at the club, he was supposed to play twice!.

    Just for the record Dave's set was good but not great, the locals shat all over him. I have been to all his gigs since I started partying, but will never ever go to a stand alone gig of his again. His behavior was just incredibly unprofessional. !!

    Btw Nic Fanculli was an hour late as well.

    Don't know how they did it but the Darkbeat Boys managed to pull it all together and it was an amazing party!! But without Chris at least part of it would have been a disaster .

    So to Chris Fortier and the Darkbeat boys!

      chris fortier is a Florida boy. and i'll be damned if any Florida OG can't stand up to the test and come out on top. this makes me proud to hear your story and sad at the same time as i'm sure you lot were pumped to hear an earful of seaman. however, knowing that Fortier stood up and rocked the place several times it a true testament to his ability and upbringing.

        ^^ Chris was positively white last night!! He must have been exhausted!! It's real shame, he's really highly thought of here and normally it would be fun for him as well, but it would have pretty difficult to work that hard and still have fun. He's great!!

        Btw I would prefer Chris to Seaman any day !

          thats how we have been brought up. play til the crowd leaves. i was born with the same blood as Mr Fortier and at times have been known to get on my knees behind the decks. it's just something we are unable to quit whilst there are people a plenty to listen. I'm actually glowing a bit knowing that chris played til his blood ran thin and am more proud than ever to come from the same place as him. he is, and always will be, an inspiration to people like me.

          to chris...

            Fortier is an extremely professional DJ and fucking anal about his own sets/performance.

            I got pics and video. But I will upload them in the morning. I need to smoke this nice phat joint and just close my eyes and replay the amazingness in my head.

                        I caught only about 45 mins of his most recent Boston gig, but it was wonderful.
                        He's always been a favorite of mine.

                        Oh, and I'm a Florida Cracker, too. But I'm a Ritz, not a Saltine.
