Cancelation of the Soul45 party and the backgrounds

[Nermin]

Thanks to all of you for the good vibe you gave me since I announced this party a couple of weeks ago!

Unfortunately i have to cancel the event. What happened?

As I did it the last five years I started prepairing myself for the WMC. Did some new tracks and my partner Patrick came up with the idea finally to set up a label party for the WMC.He told me that he was in touch since the last WMC with a DJ who would help us to organize everything.
A lucky situation if you live overseas! So we fixed the contracts and paid an advance for the club.

After this I decided to register my self at the so called ESTA which is necessary for EU citizens (I´m german citizen) since january 12th to travel to the states within the waiver visa programm. I did the procedure and I was shocked: I was rejected - no permission to travel to the States! The only chance now was to apply for a regular business visa at the US embassy. The very friendly lady at the US embassy in Germany told me that I have to go through a special procedure which will take around 60 days before I will get a visa - bye bye Miami! And at the end the most likely won´t even get this visa.Later on I talked to some people working for german gouvernment and they confirmed the worst misgiving: I´m probably on a watchlist! Everybody who knows me would say that this is ridicolous -
after travelling for years to the States and not causing any troubles.

Nevertheless I decided to keep the party going - I had the best artists and it wasn´t about me.
Still a chance to promote soulful housemusic and our label.

Two weeks ago I received an email from the WMC office and they told me that they can´t reach anybody at the provided phone number of the club - it doesn´t exist.
Because they insisted on it I called my "friend" from Miami to give me an other number.
He gave me immediately a new number. I couldn´t proof it - nobody picked up the phone.
So I forwarded it to the WMC office.Next day they wrote me that they took the party off the list because I gave them the number of an other club....... lucky me.
Suddenly my so called friend was no longer available. he disappeared on skype , his email address stopped working and his phone is switched off since then.
yes - I was deceived.

the last five years Miami have been wonderful experiences, but this year it became a nightmare for me.

Because of the scheduled event a dozen of our friends are travelling to Miami from here.
Therefore if anyone is willing to give my partner Patrick Bo: an hour to play in Miami, I would be really thankful.

I wish I could celebrate with you the WMC after a new era has started -
So please do it for me!

Sad situation all around. The visa part is out of our control but Mr.E needs to come right or neither Miami or the industry will be sunny for him. I'm too old and times are too rough for this....give him a few days then we'll let people know who he is and his number, if he doesn't come clean!

Hi Nermin, a bad situation, in these days it is not easy to promote soulful house music. Wishing you all the best and much success with your label. Greetings/Grüße, Christian & Jürgen.

[Nermin]

yes keith, that´s probably what I will do - I will wait a few days. the predication to be a known name in the scene should come back like a boomerang to him.

you´re right guys -that´s a hard job. where are you guys from? stuttgart? that´s not too far from my town ;)

Nermin, we're so sorry to hear about this, Carolyn sends her best wishes to you. This makes me sick, but is all too prevailant in the music industry. Good luck with everything buddy, I hope you get the money back and we for one will definitely keep an eye out for this name when working.

Keep in touch, all the best from England and New York.

You have my number...Use it. Dont use threats against me. Call and find out the truth. Dont assume you know the whole story. This really is a sad situation. But dont for a minute think that i will just accept the threats. Ive learned a long time ago to fight fire with fire.

Erving Batista; fight fire with what fire???!! You owe us money. I call you to get clarification and see when you can pay it back and you pretend that you have another call and have me hanging on for 5 minute. I call back and you don't answer. Call again a few days later and someone else answers. I left a message and no reply. you aint got no fire for this man here. you got money to send to my account, that's what you have. the sooner you do it the better. simple. stop acting like you're some victim. we didn't do anything to you to come with that stilly "fight fire with fire" nonsense.

Can't we all just get along..hahahahaha..I see all points
business is business, but lets keep all fighting off the threads..
You are interfering with my MOJITO state of mind...lol

Cant Stop Thissssssss

[patrick bo]

hey people.. stop fighting now! its sad enough that nermin cant go to miami and we have to explain to our friends that we will not celebrating our party.
its not a 15 min trip to the next club . we have to pay a lot and travel very far to be part of it. .. thats the reason because its important to have helpfull people over there.. thats what i thought .. im very sorry that this mission has failed.. erv please do what u promised me..you can use any computer to go online and sending mails or do phone calls via skype.. and u told me : "no problem" . why we have to waste time in writing in this forum? nothing u told me can prevent u from this f*** call. that was just the only thing that i asked for- but you didnt..or maybe meanwhile u did? dont know no more whats right or wrong but i know that what people do they will get in return in a good or bad way..

[Nermin]

there won´t be any problem if you would behave like a serious person - what you pretend to be.
now we talk here. that´s sad - but not because of us: you closed the door and disapeared.
now we won´t close it as long you treat us respectful and you stop playing games.

[Oscar P, Open Bar Music]

LOL....guys, lets move on.....stop fueling the fire
