Supersonic's abscence at Clashtown Showdown in New York

First and foremost, we are really sorry for all Supersonic supporters and the NYC soundclash fans. We were looking forward to give you a good show and to kill sound in New York again. This is the first time Supersonic did not show up to a booked clash and it really hurt us to disappoint you guys who were there to see us in action once again.

We usually would never discuss business details in public, but the promoter of CLASH TOWN SHOWDOWN made public statements trying to style up & frame Supersonic as if we ran from this clash, while in fact it was unprofessional and disrespectful behaviour on the part of the promoter which forced us to cancel:

For the past 3 years this same promoter booked us for clashes in New York, and it always was the same chaotic hassle: booking fees cut short at the end of the night (2x); no hotel room available on arrival at NYC airport; flights booked last minute; wrong flights booked; left in the unpaid hotel the morning after the clash and numerous other troubles with which we, as a performing sound, should not be bothered. After these experiences, this year we told the promoter that while we are happy to clash in New York again, it could in no way go on like these last 3 years.

Months ago we gave him our conditions and told him that both flight & hotel bookings have to be made 3 weeks prior to the clash THE LATEST. Around 6 weeks before the clash we sent him the flight itineraries he was supposed to book for us. The three week deadline came & passed, all the promoter did was put us off & promise & talk about next day bookings AGAIN and AGAIN and AGAIN, every other day since then. As there finally were no flight confirmations nor hotel reservations sent to us by monday before the event, 2 weeks after our initial deadline, we ultimately decided to cancel the clash & told the promoter so.

Since we take our profession as soundmen very serious and always want to give the audience the best entertainment for their moneys worth, a clash like this needs reliable planning and preparation to build the proper vibes for the night. The promoter knew about our SIMPLE & LEGITIMATE business conditions months before, and in a very disrespectful & unprofessional manner failed to meet them once again.

Big up Andrew Digital still for believing in Supersonic over the years and for bringing us to the clashes, but we paid our dues a long time. This should have been a private matter but you forced us make this public announcement.

Also big up our family Yardbeat Sound, big up the winner Orijahnal Vibez, Justice Sound and of course all NYC soundclash fanatics.
