Carl Cox over de schietpartij

Carl Cox reageert in een statement op de schietpartij tijdens zijn set in Caracas in Venezuela.

Afgelopen zaterdag vielen er vier doden in de Red Noise club in de stad Caracas, in Venezuala. De collega’s van Djscene berichtten daar maandag al over. De Britse dj Carl Cox was net 45 minuten bezig met zijn set, toen een schutter het vuur opende op het publiek. Er waren toen 7000 mensen in de club. Er vielen vier doden en negen mensen raakten gewond. Carl zelf zag het allemaal van dichtbij gebeuren en is ontstelt over het gebeuren en voelde dat hij op het incident moest reageren. Hij zegt er het volgende over:

“I am deeply shocked and still stunned by the events of Saturday. My condolences go out to victims that were caught up in the horrific act that took place at this gig, and also their families. I am informed that it was gang related, and feel so sad that anybody would act in such a manner when the event was full of 7000 people having fun. I find it such a sad moment in electronic music as this was probably one of the best set up shows I had played in South America – a sign of real progress yet utterly hijacked by this mindless act. Again, my heart goes out to those that have died or been injured. This is NOT what the dance scene is about and is a million miles away from what I want to do or promote.”
