Suffering the same fate Mark Farina, Calvin Harris and Cassian have before her, over the weekend Sia was forced to cut her DJ set short following a disagreement with the club’s management. The now US-based star was booked to play at Vegas venue The Bank, but when her song choices were met with a frosty reception from the club’s owner, the budding DJ called it quits early. But with the details all a little murky, we went to Sia herself for clarification earlier this week. Last night, she filled inthemix in on the details (through Twitter, naturally) and the explanation certainly makes for an entertaining read.
“The general manager called Kanye, Jay-Z, Big Sean and Snoop Dogg ‘elevator music’, asked me to play something up-tempo so I played the ever crowd pleasing Toxic, by Britney Spears,” Sia told inthemix via Twitter. ”’Britney hasn’t had a fucking hit record in 3 years! Current Top 40!,’ [the manager said], so I played Carly Rae Jepsen which wasn’t house enough for him. I am not a fan of doof doof music. It sounds like an alarm system to me. They had approved my playlist earlier so it was a shock to be told to play dance music of which I am not a fan. I don’t have or know anything about that kind of music, so he got more and more juicehead vein throbbingly irate to the extent of chest bumping my 122 pound manager, a quarter of the size of him. I felt scared and uncomfortable so we left.”
While she’s worked with David Guetta and been remixed by everyone from Mylo to Sander van Doorn, the Adelaide native’s never claimed to be a dance music diehard. “I’m so clueless about dance music,” she told ITM back in 2009. “I actually employ someone to choose remixes for me and we pay them money and they have taste. They commission someone to do a remix then they send it back to me. I listen to 15 seconds and I go ‘yeah, of course’.”
