oh dear lollll

That is shocking

Nah its pretty funny, apparently Mark Hill brought these guys in to do the live shows as he took a step back when he had kids and that. If hes taking a cut off their bookings then fair play to him/them.

Very unlikely. https://youtu.be/WPmhmmeajW0 I can’t see MC Alistair in the re-ewind video lol. He probably used to be Craig David or something.

Just googled Mark Hill

Britain’s favourite celebrity hairdresser.

I guess its more because its like well not really AD, its kind of like when MF Doom brings out a lookalike instead of showing up.

Pretty sure ALOT of reg people are going to see them based off the name, though I guess at the same time what are you going to get from an AD set anyways?
All the bangers/classics/cheese so fuck it does it really matter either way whos actually playing it.

The original AD changed his name to Fagin I heard. Bill Sykes MC.

pretty sure this has been known for quite a few years now. isnt the real artful dodger called the artful mark or just artful now or something. ive seen the ā€˜fake’ artful dodger a few times now and theyre pretty awful. play loads of trap and butters dubstep.
im just gonna post some big artful dodger tunes



not even sure people under ~25 even care for ad unless they got into garage or smth

he did kind of just make bait tunes. they were all bangers but very bait.
not exactly true tho ultra. all the freshers at my uni attend the nights ā€˜fake’ artful dodger plays at in hoards. those nights always sell out. far more likely to sell out than a night noodles is playing at for example

You guys sound like a bunch of identity-theft bigots right now. Im getting triggered pretty hard. IDT-phobia should not be tolerated on here imo.

Pretending to be someone else is the way forward then for all budding DJ’s lol.

Aha bigups to this fake Artful Dodger, never really heard of any instances which a dj is faking as a big name… this is clever but sneaky asf. This guy must be getting a lot of money from bookings lmao

Must be the biggest con artists in the scene lol

Nah, Buck UK was worse. He just stole people’s tracks. It went unreported for yonks too, most people would just ask him to take it down if he found out. Then one day someone went on FGF and ratted and he jumped into the thread to scream at people saying shit like ā€œah you’re just jealous coz I’m big n u ain’tā€

There was another guy in America who stole loads of mixes from my old myspace awhile back and claimed he mixed them. He got bookings out of it around America. DJ Tarzan - http://www.dogsonacid.com/threads/dj-tarzan-stealing-someones-mix-and-claiming-he-did-it/
