A series of serious allegations involving sexual abuse, grooming, and physical assault have surfaced against several of the genre’s biggest stars, including Shlømo, Basswell, Fantasm, and CARV.
The reports, which have been detailed by Change Underground, DJ Mag Germany, and various international outlets, have sent shockwaves through the community, leading to cancelled tour dates, severed agency ties, and a heated debate regarding safety in nightlife.
