Stuff_iain_ttryingto · June 12, 2015, 8:36pm

nah man, everyone at least knows who they were when you drop “re-e wind…”

I thought this thread would be about Charles Dickens suing another dj for using his name.

(this is obvious enough right)

Stuff_iain_ttryingto · June 12, 2015, 9:12pm

What?
You sure you’ve got the right person there?

Stuff_iain_ttryingto · June 12, 2015, 9:12pm

I like his instrumental work, but this shit makes me cringe.

Artful Dodger Official

How could they be forgotten lol One of the most famous names in Garage. This fake Artful Dodger travels the world with the name.

Stuff_iain_ttryingto · June 13, 2015, 2:51am

I’m sure they can be forgotten. Garage isn’t that big of a deal outside the UK.

Lye_Form · June 13, 2015, 6:26am

Grand Master Jay is the best faker ever tho, some random sideman pretending to be some big time hip hop DJ cus his name sounds familiar. lol

ultraspatial · June 13, 2015, 8:42am

yeah and they’re really relevant today. just like sweet female attitude and true steppers

Johnlenham · June 13, 2015, 9:32am

They are perma relevant in the UK, these guys could tour off this name for another 10 years an pull a crowd. UK garage is something else here.

ultraspatial · June 13, 2015, 9:34am

yeah but it’s just nostalgia or w/e it is for younger people. in the same way dad rock bands do it. but it’s not like they’re putting out new music n shit

Nathan_Bridge · June 13, 2015, 11:25am

To be honest yeah they were legends now has beens… Replicate somebody dead for even more bookings and fan exposure

MasterA · June 13, 2015, 2:46pm

I think the current house trend’s (tenuous) connection to garage has sparked a revived interest somewhat

pure · June 13, 2015, 6:06pm

Has beens ? Then why is this fake Artful Dodger traveling to Dubai playing to 1000s of people? The real Artful producer still getting 50,000 plays a tune on his soundcloud. I’m sure alot of people would like to see the real Artful Dodger. These fakes are booked every week.

jrkhnds · June 13, 2015, 6:13pm

Oh my. Stop white-knighting for a second and think about it. I’m sure if these guys were doing this shit without the consent of any of the “og artful” crew there would’ve been legal steps taken long ago. Relax a bit, you’re not fighting for the poor and helpless here.

Lye_Form · June 13, 2015, 10:40pm

Dare someone try and get bookings as zomby.

Then dont show up like the real zomby for added authenticity

AxeD · June 13, 2015, 11:41pm

Anything to piss off that bag of dicks.

0h85 · June 14, 2015, 12:14am

Chuck up a Dick

Boss_of_Capitalism · June 15, 2015, 7:18pm

Big up the fake dadstep scene.

Stuff_iain_ttryingto · June 15, 2015, 7:20pm

And when you do, don’t wear the mask and complain that there have been imitators in the past and that it’s time to be authentic.
