Hey all
After a big mess up this week with the promoters from earthcore VISA issues, and cash flow problems ( I'm not going in to details or placing blame on anyone ) I'm unfortunately not gonna be at Earthcore this weekend. My sincere apologies to all who were expecting to see me there, I'm highly upset and dissapointed about this situation and I've tried my best to correct it, however it seems there is nothing else I'm able to do at this point.
Cheers
Nate

in the last 24 hours, spiro boursine (the organiser of earthcore), sent an email out to the (now cancelled) international artists, informing them that he would only pay them a fraction of the original amount that was agreed in the contract. many of the artists have already paid for their flights internationally to get to australia and are already here. two of the artists i know from israel (from first hand account) were absolutely shocked and outraged, and replied to spiro/earthcore demanding an explanation, and requesting that he pay the full amount originally agreed. spiro/earthcore responded by THREATENING TO TAKE LEGAL ACTION AGAINST ANY ARTISTS WHO DO NOT TURN UP TO THE EVENT (even with his absurd, ridiculous demand of lower rates). obviously this is completely disgraceful.
this party was planned to be spiro/earthcore’s last event, and most of the tickets have already been sold. by cancelling half of the international acts, he will get a VERY large income, with much lower expenses, and he will not have to worry about the fallout from any future parties, because there won’t be any. the end result is spiro/earthcore will walk away with a very big pocket full of a lot of cash. this is plainly and simply, a SCAM. It’s a huge scam with honest punters money. he is ripping people off intentionally for his own profit.
anybody who is part of the industry in australia knows that this type of behaviour IS VERY COMMON PRACTICE FROM SPIRO BOURSINE OF EARTHCORE. he very rarely pays artists or djs. when he doesn’t get what he wants (even when its completely unreasonable) he threatens promoters, artists and media with legal action. he is a disgusting human being. other promoters and those in the industry are frustrated to see year after year spiro/earthcore keeps hurting people, but new unknowing punters keep buying tickets. many people try to publish these horrible facts about spiro/earthcore on internet websites and news channels but spiro/earthcore threatens legal action and demands that these facts be removed. (many will have witnessed this with your own eyes.)
i can only hope that finally, punters will see first hand how immoral and unethical spiro/earthcore is. i hope that this appalling behaviour and completely unprofessional, unethical, and unjust actions will show everyone once and for all, the REAL earthcore.
i boycot all of earthcores parties, i urge punters to not let earthcore rip you off any further. protest the only way we can, by not going to his events. protect our community by spreading the truth. |

weel Dance Aid Pty Ltd has now ceased trading in all forms, including giving refunds, pending further legal advice.
Feel bad for the punter who bought the early bird tickets to Shpongle Live, no refund WTF?

Please remove Mods if you think this is innapropriate, I think it serves as a warning for the gloabl psy community as to who they work with in Australia.
