Video: Mayhem and murder at Carl Cox DJ set in Caracas

Nov 06, 07

Quite possibly the most fucked up snuff film I've ever seen (full disclosure: this is the FIRST), this video displays the events that transpired at Carl Cox's DJ set on November 3 at Red Noise in Caracas, which left 4 people dead and hundreds more left shocked and in need of therapy to deal with the new correlation they'll have between house music and death.  Be safe out there y'all.

In a statement issued from Cox himself, the deejay extraordinaire writes:

“I am deeply shocked and still stunned by the events of Saturday [3rd November]. My condolences go out to victims that were caught up in the horrific act that took place at this gig. 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.”
Coxy.

Godspeed!
