For those that haven’t yet heard about last week’s drama that put a dent in the New Year’s party vibe, Scottyballer has left the country after a mix-up with his ARC meant a Christmas break at home in Toronto turned into a deportation and a minimum one-year ban on re-entry. He had been making huge strides into the scene with his slick mixing since he stepped up to electro house and was sure to have dropped a huge set on Wednesday. Another sad day for the expat DJ fellowship after the recent departure of his longtime friends Jr and Megan. Is there anyone out there to fill his size 12s? Word is old roommate and friend of Scottyballer, South African Franz von During, is stepping up after coveting the club decks for a while from his bedroom booth. Watch this space for info once he brings his chunky funky electro house to a wider audience.
