This is the them. Bloody cracking up just looking at them.



You will be relieved to know that I'd had the good foresight to keep hold of the warranty so ultimately was able to take back the ones that I had bought, and ended up having a really nice Xmas. And therein lies a very valuable lesson.

Mega Lolz Joe-apted, you sound absolutely bonkers.

I wish I could be your friend!

we are all friends here, brother. One family, dancing to the beat.

Very Funny!! On a more sombre note,that left hand plug socket is crying out for a 3 year old child to stick a long thin metal implement into it! PLEEASE!! For my peace of mind aswell as yours put another socket protector there.Thank you.

That Youri guy was definitely Louis booking agent right?

The right course of action is for Louis refund some of the money but keep back some for expenses and because the arrangements went badly wrong. Any way you wash it the man can't justify taking all that cash.

Taking 12 large off a promoter for turning up at an airport then going home is taking the piss, when a deal goes bad sometimes you have to wipe your mouth and walk away

Basketball?

You've got shit shoes, you shitty shoe'd bastard.

I'll have you know I go to Cheltenham and Aintree every year!

hahahaha davidgetta you made my day

THE PROOF! For the record…
To address the defamatory public assault on my client Lil Louis’s reputation created by Karim Mattha, and finally put a final end to these disparaging lies, I shall reply with the following truths.

I preface this by saying to those that, as a result of Karim’s unethical campaign, are now even attacking my credibility and existence, that I am in fact not Lil Louis. My name is Rachel Green. I am Louis’ publicist, and have never hid my identity. Thereby, my words are credible and have merit. To @Saturix, and anyone else who still questions that truth, google me! While you’re at it, send me your real name and lawyer’s information because you’re now disparaging me as well.

We have tried to take the high road here, and have remained silent because Louis does not like to conduct business publicly, and has always been a private person. Yet, because Lil Louis’ fans have asked for proof, we will provide it now. Albeit, unlike Karim and his group, we will not disclose personal info online for public view. We have been authorized to release two documents that show indisputable PROOF of Louis’s hardships, his innocence, and why he could not come to Australia.

For clarity, let me point out something. The first document, is entitled “LL redacted Flight Rebook.” A supervisor from Air Canada highlighted this in yellow, and explained to Louis that “Auto rebook” means that, when the connection cannot be made, the computer automatically rebooks the passenger on the next flight, which was the next day, so there was no way Louis could have made that flight. And that delay was caused and acknowledged by the airline, hence was why they put him in a hotel. The second document is entitled “LL Redacted Baggage” and if you read you’ll see that the supervisor at Air Canada circled a section that clearly explains that the bag was lost in the system, and could not be found (look at the date as well) As we have said, all of his music was in his luggage.

Now that you’ve seen this evidence, let me address another matter, music. Firstly, Louis is NOT a LAPTPOP DJ. He does not play with computers or even USB sticks. He is the real deal, and one of the few purists still out here. Everybody knows that, which is one reason he is still in high demand. He only plays with a collection of either CDS or Vinyl. For the Australia trip, he brought along a huge case with over 250 CDs, and a small collection of vinyl, some of which he just bought, because 1) he was excited to play there, 2) he was going to be there for a week, so he packed for a long haul, and 3) he was scheduled to do THREE gigs, and planned on providing a completely different set for each party. Louis never does the same mix nor plays the same records twice. SO clearly, that was more than he or anyone could fit in a carry on.

RE: Basketball; for those alleging that the basketball court request was crazy, Louis is filming a movie and the court is required for a basketball scene that will be in the movie. He didn’t ask for Blue M&Ms. So, KNOW ALL THE FACTS!

Anyone that reads this can now see that, despite all Karim’s chapters and accusations that he placed all over the internet, Louis has not committed any fraud, or stolen anything! As you can see even by Karim’s correspondence, Louis tried his best to go on that trip, and was stuck in Canada, and had to wear the same clothes over two days, stuck at the airport hotel, with no clothes and toiletries. And despite all that, he still agreed to reschedule. So Karim’s label of Louis being a thief and a fraud, along with his other false claims are defaming and baseless. I say baseless because during the entire time of his banter, Karim has never filed suit. If he had a legitimate claim, why hasn’t he taken Louis to court, as we are prepared to do now?

Likewise, as per Karim’s allegation of Louis missing shows, again LOUIS has never ever missed a show! He prides himself on not missing shows, the proof being Louis staying in Toronto for several days trying to get to Australia, and more importantly, as much as Karim has tried to sell this lie, no one has or can point to a show that Louis has ever missed.

This proof that we have now provided, along with the manner Karim went about making all Louis’ private info including bank and passport details public, defaming Louis’ character, and now causing his cohorts to chime in and spread these lies, should put every DJ on notice that if Karim will do this to the Founding Father of House, he’ll do it to anyone. POST THAT! The rest of our proof will be provided in court, and after Louis wins the case, we’ll see if Karim, his clan, and all the websites and blogs that posted this unfair assault on Louis, will publicize the truth.

For a PR person, big long internet rants don't seem very professional. Thought you were against this being played out in public?

Where in the fuck is Sidney?

No wonder he never showed up.

So why not say, give back the money?

And what of his smelly clothes. from what i can see he goes around half naked most of the time anyways,

And finally, possibly most importantly. Where is the actual contract?? That states what is done with what cash in case of all eventualities.

I have never laughed so much in all my life. As a PR person, you certainly don't know much about PR do you?

You're rant is full of laughable quotes, most memorably:

-Excuse me, he missed 3. FTW

Seriously?


You should take up comedy!

http://www.quickmeme.com/meme/3ryu1r/

might not be the funniest but let's get this started!

SUE THEM ALL.

@ABrandCalledU i think your ugly an,d stupoid
i am interestinged in being sued pleas sue me, thank yo,U

@ABrandCalledU Explain to me why Louis will not return some or all of the money for the events which he was paid to perform at but did not, neither did he fulfil his obligation or his word.

Just in simple terms, explain why he is holding onto that money.

this thread is the most hillarious thing i've read in a long time ^^

Does he have Into The Valley by The Skids?

Rachel/Louis,

So lets summarise your evidence which you have now made public domain. Remember Louis is a public character of interest. So everything you talk about Louis being a private person kinda goes out of the window. Especially when it comes to him owing people money and not fulfilling his duties.

Your evidence if anything cements our data that has been presented. The images you have put forward clearly state:

"Attention Next Agent - PAX Missed Flight to Sidney(SP) Rebooked for July 18th, Passangers Bag Can not be located in System bag Air Canada Baggage. Passenger will return top chicago and do baggage claim in chicago... also passenger will reebook entire trip to sidney at later time..."

Right. So as mentioned PAX aka Passanger aka Louis missed the flight? According to the evidence you present he landed at 19:59 though other websites (on the blog) show 19:49. The connecting flight was at 20:25 but in reality left at 20:57 (evidence on the blog)? That's over 1hr for time for Louis to walk casually to the connecting flight and not worry about bags because they are automatically put on..

Do you want me to go on?

So the only way the passenger could of missed his flights is by???? PASSANGER MISSED FLIGHT. Not flights were delayed, not an act of god, nothing.

Also written on the evidence "Passenger will return top chicago and do baggage claim in chicago"? Ha - what?! This backs up what we said about Louis not even doing a baggage claim for missing bag when he first told us about this whole debacle? Louis wanted to go back to Chicago.

As Louis was flying to Australia one day prior to any shows as requested, even though technically he missed his own flight - however he did not want to do this. He would of made the first show no problems. The proof is in the evidence you supplied. Louis did not make a claim for lost baggage. He had ample amount of time to do this and would only do it when he was back in Chicago.

In your response you did not speak about the fees that were paid? Did you forget about that? That was $11,700. I can repeat it again if you want.

Either way - you know my email address and you know what to do to make everything right and whole again.

K!

PAX missed flight to sidney17Jul2012 rebooked 18Jul!!!
To my eye's all those documents show is that he was delayed from chicago to toronto and then on arrival in toronto, instead of heading to the vancouver flight which he had ample time to do, for some ridiculous reason he went and tried to locate his bag???
It was obviously enroute to the vancouver flight, which he obviously wasn't.
For the supposed founding father of house to be completely incompetent in all aspects of international travel speaks volumes.
He should know that his baggage was enroute and that he is meant to select his preferred seat at check in, or online with his booking reference, why dictate to the promoter a window seat? If that's not a diva request then he has a lot to learn.
The truth of the matter is he wouldn't be able to locate his bag as it was on the back of the next plane, going through the system and would have been informed of this. He should have got on the flight and had the time to but it's blatantly obvious he doesn't understand the process and then couldn't be arsed.
The promoters should have bailed on him ages before but I understand the work that had went in.
ABrandCalledU: You are doing more harm than good to your own rep and are obviously being led down the same path as the rest of the parties concened by this supposed house founding incompetent fruit cake!!!
Do yourself and LL a favour and insist on him paying back the fee's for the shows before this goes any further. He never played or even travelled past canada, how hard is it to see that he has to pay that money back? Then come to an agreement with Karim/Clarise on the other expenses, although I and many others see this as all being LL's fault.

Australian basketball court for footage of a house documentary, pah!!!

Ok louis here's a heads up, just incase you do get another gig in the future.
1: You travel to the destination and your bags go seperately so potentially can get lost, so just incase, take some back up of your music on USB pen drive in your hand luggage/laptop bag or carry it seperately.
2: When you don't play a gig, you don't get to keep the money that was paid upfront, you have to give this back, as it's not yours until you've actually worked for it.
3: When you tell lies to people working on your behalf you also make them look stupid.
4: Be humble, Wind your neck in and realise you are riding on the back of success 20 years or so ago, appreciate that whatever you are being offered nowadays is generous.
5: If taking 12'' vinyl to the other side of the world, please make sure that you have requested turntables on your rider as they don't fit inside the cdj 2000's, i've tried.

I ROFLLLLLLLed

250 cds and a small bag of vinyl for 3 different gigs??

Thats not enough surely?

Having to wear the same clothes for 2 days??

Oh the shame! Most people who go out clubbing do that every week!

All this about Louis Theroux? I thought he made films not beats

be careful you don't DUN GOOF or this PR person might call the cyber police on ya ass

It is sad that, even with clear proof, Karim and others refuse to see truth. But to recap once more, please look at the two documents, which prove
1) The flight was delayed. Louis arrived at 7:59. His connecting flight was scheduled out at 8:25
2) When you arrive in Canada from Chicago, you have to go through customs
3) He was indeed told to collect his bag
4) He was AUTO-REBOOKED, which means the computer automatically rebooked him for the next day.
5) His bags were lost.

For those reasons, Louis COULD NOT make the flight. There is a difference between DID NOT and COULD NOT. None of this was his fault. He offered to reschedule, and that is it. Karim if you think you have a case, please let us know your lawyer. And I will not go back and forth with people on this, because I know the truth. We will not participate in this public forum any longer.

@abrandcalledu:

where's the money and why is LL not refunding it (or at least a major part of it)?

He didn't play the gigs yet kept the fee. Regardless of any flights being missed or not missed, the money should be refunded. Should it not?

Marvin is not the FOUNDING FATHER OF HOUSE, he's just one of the more successful business men to come from those early days. Stop that BS, anyone with some knowledge of the history of house music knows that's baloney.
Lots of people play just VINYL, no CDs, USBs or laptops involved. Some people even travel 23 hours from Europe to Australia for tours with just vinyl.

The promoters don't want to reschedule. So give them some money back, even if they loose deposit. Stop being dicks.

@joebonez - the Bio is awesome. There is so much horseshit on it. (will i get sued for saying that?)

LOL and Larry Levan is no doubt turning in his grave

Hopefully. About time the evil Apartment Rekkids empire came crumbling down.

Rachel,

1. www.aircanada.com/en/travelinfo/airport/yyz_us_intl.html (This is the process for US people who are flying through Toronto for International Flights)
2. www.torontopearson.com/Connecting_from_usa.aspx# (This is the lovely map that shows how close the walk is)
3. "Air Canada (or other Star Alliance airlines like United) would require you to clear Canadian immigration in Toronto, but you won't have to claim your bags and therefore you won't have to go through security. It's just a cursory passport check, so it'd be very quick unless you've got something hiding in your past."

We told Louis many times we do not want to reschedule. Who would want to? Under his terms? It was never going to happen (even demanding we did an Asian tour for him as well?) really?

Trust me - we have waited long enough for the money. You have pushed us into this corner and the repercussions of his actions have unfolded.

Our lawyers are already on the case - so don't worry, Louis will here from them soon enough

PS. What do you define as the truth? Personally for me it's data. Pure and simple. What you make out of it is information. Are you basing the events on a story you heard from Marvin? Were you travelling with him? So maybe, just maybe you could understand that something might not add up?

ABrandCalledU #ERROR404 : INCORRECT ANSWER# <try again your lies/answer>



AHAHA I was waiting for someone to remind that, no technics on the rider.. not very pro

You have to claim baggage, clear customs, and check it back in. I travel through Canada semi-regularly from the States and always have to do this...

He was connecting within Terminal 1 to a domestic flight (to Vancouver), right?

From your link:

Connecting to a Domestic flight within Terminals 1 & 3
Toronto Pearson is your first point of entry into Canada. Therefore, even if your baggage is tagged through to your final destination, you are required to pick them up for Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) processing. Once you have been processed by CBSA, drop off your bags at the Connecting Baggage Belt. Follow the or connections signs to your connecting gate. Flights departing from gates are located in Terminal 3. Flights departing from gates are located in Terminal 1. Please note you will be required to undergo security screening prior to entering the departure gate area.

If your baggage is not tagged through to your final destination, please follow the Baggage Claim signs to retrieve your baggage for CBSA processing. Then proceed to your departing airline's counter for check in. Please note you will be required to undergo security screening prior to entering the departure gate area.

For further information please refer to one of the various Connections Centres and flight information screens throughout the terminal.

LL, the sole inventor of house music, is the real deal. he only plays vinyl. and CDs. but he would NEVER EVER touch evil laptops or usb drives for that matter.

digital music is evil. analogue CDs rule. keep it real!


what a bunch of crap. and why does he feel like he should be entitled to keep those 12 grand? because he was wearing the same clothes for 2 days? i have to do this all the time cos im a poor student. now give me some of that money!

This thread is like a soap opera. Can't wait for the next installment.

I would like my money back from Lil Louis. I had a mixtape from 1990 with I called u on it.

It was crap.
I paid 10 quid for it.

Hot fist action, maybe scat, PM me.

"I just phoned CATSA (1.888.294.2202) who told me that if you stay "in transit" at all airports and do NOT come out "into the airport" you will not have to go through security again. So follow all the signage for "passengers in transit." This works particularly well because you are flying the same airline the whole way. The man said you would have to consider whether or not you wanted to stay behind security if you had a 2 hour layover. But there's enough stuff behind security to satisfy you - at least at YVR. And check your luggage all the way through."

That's what I'm thinking, and that really, lil louis is a massive fucking idiot.

I can verify that in Toronto, given the logistics of his flights, he would need to collect baggage, walk about 10m, and leave the baggage on a conveyor belt. He would not, however, need to pass through security again.

In any case, I believe there's too much emphasis being placed on the missed flight, and the circumstances surrounding it.

At the end of the day: there were issues with transport to Australia which resulted in the show's cancellation. Some costs were incurred in the process. Lil Louis should return nearly all of the $11k, save for these costs (ie. food, transport back to Chicago). The remainder was intented as payment for 3 performances which he did not complete, and as such, should be returned to the account from which they were paid.

@ABrandCalledU

I have read your comments as have a lot of people, not only on here, even the local bodybuilding furums are talking about it. You Should not forget that there are a hell of a lot of promoters from all over the world, now all keeping an interested eye on this story.

How can you not see that after everything that has happened, by not even agreeing some kind of settlement and keeping the fee, you are blaming the promoters for what has happened, when in fact it is all to do with the airline (YOU ARE ALLEGING). That money that Louis has in his brother bank account is not his, as he has not performed to earn it. Obviously you feel like you need to be compensated for what has happened so why not take this up with the airline rather than sting the promoters that wanted to hire your artist?

All the comments you have read on this site alone must make you think, that maybe, just maybe, as all of the comments seem to be in unison with each other, that its possible that you are wrong in what you are doing/have done. All your comment seems to be is smoke and mirrors to avoid the main important points. Its quite clear to me and everyone else who has read this so why not you and Louis.

How many times do people have to spell it out to you?
If you had bought a ticket for an event that gets cancelled, do you think that you should be entitled to a refund? Yes or No? Think about that. Now the rest of the world thinks yes, as that's what happens.

personally if nothing is sorted out then i hope to god as many people as possible are aware of this story as it sheds quite a dim light on what sort of character Louis and his agents are and what MORALS they hold.

Smaller promoters will definitely think harder now about what artists they hire and pay that sort of money in advance to if there are some that insist of keeping the entire fee because their transport was messed up.................

It's kinda sad that an artist who has been in the scene for 38 years thinks like this.

FYI don't mean to be rude, but sometimes going public with things if the only way to get action. It's tried and tested

The fact that a publicist has had to change her twitter account to private probably means that she knows she cocked up big style.

Also, A Brand Called U's most recent tweet:

"Support Small Business Saturday! We do. fb.me/2ibHqmCce "

They support Small Business Saturday, just not small business in other countries, apparently.
