Judge Jules has accused a UK club promoter of secretly recording his set last weekend and this week apologised to fans for walking out of the club after just 20 minutes.

“About 5 tracks into my set, I found a hidden high quality MP3 recorder, secretly recording my set without permission,” Jules reported in a statement on his online blog.

“This is strictly prohibited by the contract, as earlier in my career I had a big problem with promoters secretly recording my sets and selling them, I can’t find a better way to explain things, other than saying that the promoter was totally taking the piss. I immediately stopped my set and left the club,” he explained.

The UK club stalwart isn’t the first DJ to find themselves in a compromising situation that’s forced them to curtail their shows, just check out ITM’s recent big list of Disaster Gigs, where we chronicled the perils of artists over the years who’ve been through the scary; being strong-armed by security or shot at, to the just plain insane; being punched in the face by angry Muscles fans.
