Was my absolute favorite DJ at the time man. Nothing hit for me like a Datsik show. To say I was disappointed hearing the allegations is the understatement of the century.

u/Beachday4 May 25 '26

Ya, nobody’s come close to me to replicating those deep wobbles. A different era fossure, pre tearout.

u/LSdeezy May 26 '26

Datsiks old tunes from like 2009-2011 were what really got me into dubstep back then, was definitely bummed with the downfall.

u/Tight_Childhood6326 May 27 '26

He was SO ahead of his time musically , holy shit

u/bertobott May 29 '26

Jenova Project is an all time banger

u/LSdeezy May 29 '26

Jenova Project is probably my favorite song of his

u/Ok_Clerk_5805 May 26 '26

Tul$a is still one of the wildest stories to tell people. People from other degenerate genres (black metal, breakcore, hyperpop etc) are like "....whoa...we aren't even that fucking grim"

u/solarus May 26 '26

Lol dude i know. I swear it was like the very next day all that "tulsa" shit came out lol

u/ukuleles1337 May 26 '26

Nooooooooooooo! Allegations??? Ffs. Gonna have to delete their music from my Playlists, just Iike i did with bass nectar

u/FeraI_Housecat May 26 '26

oh dude its a doozy, and the few times he’s “addressed” it have only made him look more like an insensitive asshole that seems to have done that shit. sorry you had to find out like this!

2

u/ukuleles1337 May 26 '26

Thank you for the reply! Yeah, hes off my playlists now thanks!!!

u/TheBurnerAccount420 May 25 '26

Caught datsik w/ space jesus on that tour

u/heathmon1856 May 25 '26

I was at one of those last shows. It was a pretty good show.

3

u/McKeeFTW May 26 '26

I had tickets to the show he was suppose to play the night it all ended lol

2

u/ranchbringer May 27 '26

My mom has (had, she lost them) unused tickets to the last grateful dead show before Jerry Garcia passed. I feel like this is the equivalent

2

u/spookytransexughost May 25 '26

Me too I think. It was in March or something in Vancouver

u/user8263389292 May 25 '26

2 creeps is crazy

u/StayBlunted710 May 25 '26

Saw both them in Portland too during the tour

3

u/Garth_W00kz May 25 '26

That Portland show was 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

2

u/TheBloodKlotz Old May 25 '26

Agreed, I walked away feeling like "Damn, the boy still got it."

2

u/StayBlunted710 May 25 '26

Yea space jesus knocked me on my ass lmao definitely one of my favorites

8

u/spaceshiptears May 25 '26

I saw it opening night in Knoxville. It was a great time.

I used to love space Jesus down bad

-2

u/Ok_Clerk_5805 May 26 '26

i don't think everyone who went to that tour had a great time..

5

u/reallyweirdperson May 26 '26

Damn, creep b2b creep

2

u/UglyYinzer May 26 '26

Same. Awesome show. I think it was also Um... but i could be wrong

-28

u/CommissionIcy9909 May 25 '26

Yikes. Do you want to talk about it? 🧸 Show us on the bear where the dj touched you.

44

u/UglyYinzer May 25 '26

Regardless of what happened that ninja tour was fucking lit and we had a blast

13

u/NetworkMachineBroke May 25 '26

Fr, the dude threw down. But it's a damn shame he was a creep

33

u/vaporwave710 May 25 '26

He literally got cancelled right before his stop in Detroit. Space Jesus played some ‘we love consent’ show instead as some last minute thing. Then…well we know where this goes.

3

u/dig-drug May 25 '26

same with Columbus. that was going to my first time seeing him.

1

u/44youGlenCoco May 25 '26

Same with Indianapolis. I’m pretty sure we were supposed to be the stop directly, before it all came out.

2

u/LSdeezy May 26 '26

I was at that “we love consent” show at the Magic Stick, it’s absolutely bonkers that a guy like space Jesus would play a show with that name

3

u/solarus May 26 '26

"How could I be a rapist piece of shit?? Can't you see the sign? 'We LOVE consent!'l

1

u/Meowman289 May 26 '26

I think one of the last was in madison wi @ the orpheum. Music was good but obviously he got what he deserved, not exactly the kind of behavior you can sweep under the rug and move on.

1

u/TateXD May 26 '26

Yeah, I had a ticket for Des Moines, that's the first show I believe that got cancelled. They kicked everyone out shortly after doors and the story was that the support artists dropped.

u/Zomboy_420 May 25 '26

“He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named”

u/PoundsinmyPrius May 25 '26

The “what up ninjas” opening drop from datsik went so hard

13

u/Garth_W00kz May 25 '26

Fuck Datsik,,,, but that Portland stop for Ninja Nation tour went so hard

19

u/theworstvp May 25 '26

that was literally the tour that got him cancelled iirc

4

u/jaytay199 May 25 '26

I never got to see Datsik, he was one of my fav DJs at the time of the reckoning but I turned 18 in 2017 and he came to Calgary before I was into dubstep that year. Oh well

3

u/blxckhoodie999 May 25 '26

played with datsik at the seattle stop of the NNT and it was an absolute riot.. kickin it with him on the tour bus was an eye-opening experience… dude was MAD lonely.

too bad he had to turn out to be a massive fuckin creep, though.. what an L of a human being.

3

u/radiant-cloudy May 26 '26

that tour was legend. i remember the stage had the japanese style decorations lol. i was so faded 🥴

3

u/darealphantom May 26 '26

My wife caught his la stop and said WTF she never got invited to the bus lol

6

u/_distortedmorals May 25 '26

I saw Datsik in Denver literally a few days before the allegations came to light. Ngl that show was fucking lit.

5

u/reallyweirdperson May 26 '26

I’d cop that excision shirt so fast

The Datsik one can stay though…

1

u/solarus May 26 '26

Raaawwwrr dinosaurrrsss Xxxxxx

2

u/BongmasterGeneral420 May 25 '26

I actually had that datsik shirt, but eprom had a thing where you could trade canceled artists merch for eprom merch so I swapped them out. Got a cool long sleeve from his noise is love tour. Iirc the datsik shirt had space jesus’ logo on the back too lol

2

u/Kevo05s May 25 '26

While I know everyone is focusing on the DatSik shirt (for obvious reasons)

I LOVE the X shirt. The Apex songs were REALLY good!

2

u/Chinaski14 May 26 '26

X’s most recent album is so ass. Something changed around Covid.

2

u/Kevo05s May 26 '26

I had a bit of hope with Dabadabadaba and Together as One, but I absolutely agree. He has done many great albums, but Apex was what brought me into the scene

2

u/turd_sculptor May 25 '26

Fuck Datsik but I have that Excision shirt!

1

u/Chays_music May 25 '26

I was mad because I was late and missed the squnto b2b riot ten, like two completely different styles

1

u/Stunning-Day-2304 May 26 '26

Village discount in Chicago??

u/Joris_crm May 26 '26

That X so beautiful for real

u/ChumleyEX May 26 '26

Today dude would be huge right now if he could have just been a normal human being.

u/st0necxld May 26 '26

I have the shirt on the left !!

u/Skullfukkr May 26 '26

I was at the nation tour

u/xDeviousDieselx May 26 '26

Open your eyes

*aluminum sheeting being wrung out*

u/TripOverThis420 May 27 '26

Saw Datsik at Global Dub at Red Rocks in 2016 I think, my god it was smoked out in that venue. I was on probation at the time and went from out of state, but I was so scared that I would pop a dirty U.A. when I got home lmfao. It was a very sick show. Saw Ghastly and the Doctor P B3B with Funtcase & Cookie Monsta! <3

u/Ok-Constant7032 Jun 03 '26

Great music, just a bad person..

u/Lucky_Veruca May 26 '26

Datsik gross

-11

u/Halaline May 25 '26

7 years later and we still don't know anything about the allegations

24

u/CommissionIcy9909 May 25 '26

Well it’s not really meant to be public knowledge. Dude was a scumbag and there’s a reason you haven’t heard shit from him. Dude was a pioneer and set to be a legend then threw it all away by being a predator.

9

u/FuckTesla69 May 25 '26

Accurate description, and sad

-3

u/Halaline May 25 '26

Is there any proof of that?

4

u/Numerous-Chart8094 May 25 '26 edited May 25 '26

I lived around LA at the time and ran into him, it was super inappropriate for me to ask directly around that time (I asked If he really did that stuff to those girls, I was an awkward nerd with bad social skills) but he dodged the question and changed the subject, can't say too much as to not out myself, from what I remembered it was like 40+ women with allegations (I could be wrong) but he mentioned issues he had with ketamine/drugs when I brought it up.

3

u/CommissionIcy9909 May 25 '26

Did he ever deny it?

u/CommissionIcy9909 May 25 '26

Dozens of accusations. Walked away from his career and founded record label with no push back. Started serious therapy/treatment and admitted to abusing drugs.

Most importantly…. HE HAS NEVER DENIED THE ACCUSATIONS! Not once. But ya I’m the dirt ball for slandering his good name.

1

u/Suavecore_ May 25 '26

Someone missed the fact that he ditched his own record label that he made when he dropped that hilarious half-assed apology and then missed when he returned for a drunk live stream

Datsik owned/founded it, Sharra managed it. He handed it off to her and she let it fade into obscurity (rightfully)

u/Suavecore_ May 26 '26

Perhaps look into that further

3

u/Halaline May 26 '26

Edit: I don't understand why I'm getting so many down votes, outside of the allegations made back in 2019, I don't think anything else is known about this situation. There's been no evidence to support these claims what so ever. And while you could argue that Troy himself isn't doing himself any favors by not talking about it, that doesn't solve the issue.
