After the fiasco of how the public was received at Dub Station #20, which celebrated the thirtieth anniversary of the English sound system Channel One on Sunday 6 February (see the forum for accounts), Le Trabendo, Garance Productions and Musical Riot have written an official apology, which we are publishing here:
"Following the Dub Station party of Saturday 6 February, the teams at Le Trabendo, Garance Productions and Musical Riot wish to officially apologise to the public.
Before the party, whose doors were due to open at midnight, Le Trabendo was hosting a concert, as it regularly does. The 'Channel One' sound system could not be set up in the afternoon as planned, because of Paris traffic jams. Installation could only begin after the concert, so the doors opened late. This delay and the arrival of the crowd did not make access to the venue any easier.
The tension caused by the exceptional turnout for this twentieth edition and by this disorganisation unfortunately led the security staff not to react in the best way. We are certainly upset and sorry about this.
In two years of parties, we have never faced such problems, even when we were sold out.
We will obviously learn from this experience and will do our best in future to give you the best possible welcome."
