I *think* this post is from Ajay's personal account to Ajay's 'public' account but please someone correct me if I'm wrong
Andrew Pickering to Ajay Pickering
18 mins ?
I'd say I'm disappointed with MC storms post and the fact he's deleting all the positive comments from people slating him for his actions but manipulation is this mans middle name. What do you expect from someone who drove one kid to suicide with his bullying, tried ruin DJ SY and manipulates smaller newer promoters with his stature. Hardcore will never change with vile people like this guy and the other artists secretly manipulating things behind the scene that you all adore, it's like fighting a brick wall.
So It's with a sad and heavy heart that I'll add to his hit list and I will be resigning from hardcore and music effective immediately. I cannot take the bullying, lies and disgusting behaviour any more. I literally dread my phone going off and it's geunily making me feel depressed, angry and Ill. I simply cannot take it anymore so I'm sorry to all of you that will be disappointed with this news and to all the guys I've helped push based on talent alone that will now fade into darkness or room 3. I never wanted to leave this way but if I don't I will break down and nothing is worth going back to that darkness I've once lived in.
Over my 18 years I've never once maliciously done anyone over, licked hoop or bowed down to egocentrics and they ****ing hate me for it (GOOD). I know from the many messages of support from the genuinely kind people in this industry that I made positive changes and stopped the higher echelons from controlling and hampering progress for their own gain. It's ironic that the most rewarding thing I've ever done was stop the pathetic rift between the hardcore scene and push talented GOOD people onto stale line ups that will echo forever as the ravers have become educated and demand more for their money (big up to you guys I love the lot of you) but the irony is that leaving is making me feel like I can breath again and feel free from it all.
In my personal life Im being denied access to my baby which is killing me, people I care about are suffering from terminal illnesses, I've found out I have other family I didn't know existed and on top of all this I have to deal with playground tactics and bullying that has seen me go from someone who loves what I do to not wanting to answer my telephone or even go to events, it stops right here right now!
Thank you to everyone of you who believed in me and supported "our" vision you are every much a part of the success, you have no idea about the threats, attacks and bullying I've endured over the last few years to push that on your behalf and even though I cannot continue I would look back and say to myself "it was worth it" as long as I go now.
As I said It's not the way I wanted to go but it's defiantly the legacy I'll look back on proud.
Good luck, avoid the BS and rave safe you beautiful people xxx
Seriously, why do we allow Storm any respect/power in this 'scene'? Why is everyone always scared to state specifics? The guy is like a rake...

Fair play to him for naming and shaming but if things are that bad now, surely going public will draw even more unwanted attention to himself for a while.
I've not been to any major events since Ajay took the reigns but as a bystander I respect his efforts to keep the momentum going for other people to enjoy what I once did.
Storm's always been quite sound whenever I've spoken to him but I hear nothing but bad press from other people. I hope Whizzkid doesn't have a similar facade because he's always come across as a decent guy who doesn't get involved with the politics or bitching.

I've never heard anyone say a single bad word about whizzkid and he's been spot on every time I've spoken to him (admittedly it's not that many times but yeah).
I wanna read what Storm wrote in the first place but I got blocked from his page ages ago for telling him to stop slagging off someone that had asked him to sign something (or something like that, I don't recall)

Storm seems to have fallen out with a couple of promoters this last week alone.

Scene conspiracies confirmed legit once again.
I find it's best to just assume the worst about everyone and eerything that goes on in hardcore and you'll probably be right.

From the comments, I think he's referring to MC Ricta. There was a memorial rave and stuff last year for him.

I don't know if I should be friggin happy that MC Storm is getting his share due, or sad that someone icon like that was such a dirtbag.
Anyways, Ajay Pickering? More like Anal Bickering right. right?

"Let's play a game called guess who!?!?
Let's guess which ' promoter ' sent that to me last night!?!"
then a picture of a message saying:
"the flyers have been printed sort it out with them I don't care about this shitty pathetic scene anymore"
Followed by a lot of painfully typical illiterate replies.

I do feel like it's this old guard that's holding Hardcore down in a way. MC Storm has done a lot of stuff like this over the years and I've heard more stories than I ever should.
He is manipulative, and he knows he can get away with it. Promoters are the engine that drive the scene, but it's Storm that's the driver. If there's new blood that threaten Storm, Storm acts.
I feel that once Storm and some other old names leave the scene, we'll finally be able to bring new blood to the top and create some momentum.
It's no coincidence that every time a big name leaves the genre that no one ever seems to take their place or fill the void.

I can't understand why he doesn't get ****ed off though - surely if people are aware of what he's doing they can just not book him.
It's hardly like anyone goes to the raves to see Storm...

He has too many allies that can weigh in on events and leverage him in. The amount of blackmail that must happen is worrying.

At least in the 90s we had that illusion that everyone in the scene were mates.
