I totally agree with you there. In the numerous times we've had Chris Liberator here in Winnipeg, he has been nothing but down to earth, understanding, professional and ready to party. He's never disappointed the crowd, either. Can't say the same about the other two Liberators, unfortunately.

I had Dave Clark and Chris Liberator as the two guests for the night. We had about 120 paying customers turn up - that's all. When Chris came in he refused to take any money and still played his whole set. Clarky boy who was already on the decks sent his missus to speak to me and offered to play a 1-1/2hr set for £550 instead of the original 2hrs for £750. Chris also filled in his extra half-hour. Some months later when my finances had improved I came upon Chris at a squat party and offered him some dosh to make up for the let down previously. He absolutely refused to take any money. The most he would let me give him was a can of Stella..... Interestingly enough - I had Tanith booked for the 3rd night and after demanding 5* hotel, chauffeured car from airport he failed to turn up and called the chauffeur at the airport half and hour after his flight landed to say he had locked his record box in the boot of his car and couldnt open it. I was pissed off to say the least. I demanded he repay the deposit I'd paid his agents, and refund the cost of the chauffeur and hotel. I then heard that my name was all over the German techno press as disreputable c*nt who no one should deal with. For what its worth, Ben Sims stood in to play that night. It was the first time he had ever played in a 'commercial club'. The wheel obviously came full circle when he started recording for Tresor. (ps - im not a disreputable c....., I think i;m fairly honourable ...) ----- Original Message ----- From: "Super Coffee Beans" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Cyclone Wehner" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; "313 Detroit" <313@hyperreal.org> Sent: Sunday, February 17, 2002 12:19 Subject: Re: [313] Liberators > i am not too crazy about their muszika but i must say aaron liberator played > acid techno set in a very underground party in the forrest of jerusalem. > that means this dude is cool :) > y. > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Cyclone Wehner" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > To: "313 Detroit" <313@hyperreal.org> > Sent: Friday, February 16, 2001 5:57 AM > Subject: Re: [313] Liberators > > > > Yes, to this day Chris Liberator adores Alan Oldham because he came up to > > them and laughed about it - something like, I'm from Detroit, I'm > > intelligent and I'm XXXX 'avin' it. > > > > Rightly or wrongly, the idea behind the title according to the guys was a > > dig at the UK dance press, not Detroit, which at the time was very > snobbish > > about counterpointing the US music against rave culture.
