Eats Everything is the latest victim of DJ kleptomania. He was set to perform last night at the DJ Mag Best of British awards show, in celebration of his big win in the Best DJ category. Unfortunately, the three memory sticks (and headphones) he left in the DJ booth were swiped before his performance. Richy Ahmed filled in for the set, but according to his twitter, Eats claims that he had “years worth of solid work stolen, 100s of records that only I have.”
The Bristol native told Mixmag that everything is replaceable, but the time required to re-build his collection caused severe disruptions in his schedule and has left him with "hardly any music for a tour of Switzerland.” Anyone with information is asked to get in touch with his management, ben@grademanagement.com.
