If you’re drum & bass fan, then you already know that this weekend’s news cycle was dominated by once-legendary producer Mistabishi and his wildly racist and anti-Muslim comments on Facebook and Twitter.
It all seemingly started when Mistabishi shared an article from The Independent regarding London Mayor Sadiq Khan’s comments on Trump’s cancelled visit, saying, “[Trump] ‘got the message’ that Londoners oppose his views and policies as he cancelled a planned visit to the capital.”
Mistabishi’s comment on the article he shared (the post now deleted) was, “I’m a Londoner and would be thrilled to have The US President visit this city. Sadiq Khan isn’t a real Londoner.” Thus began a tirade of comments and criticism from fans, from which Mistabishi did not back down; instead, he inflamed his fans and others by stating various racist sentiments and aligning himself with others who shared those views. 
In another comment on the thread, he wrote, “Also, n*ggeryness isn’t exclusive to people of African origin. It’s a particular way of being seen in US hip hop and now UK grime where it’s considered to be virtuous to be a white-hating gangbanger with a history of drug crime.”
Another well-known drum & bass artist named Muzzy attempted to, if not reason with him, then to fight ignorance with logic. At this, Mistabishi responded, “You’re offended because you’re a Muslim and hate western society whilst wanting to profit from it.”
Mistabishi also referred to one Twitter user as a “chimp,” saying, “I don’t want a braindead semi-literate dj chimp like you playing my music.”
This isn’t even the first time that he’s expressed such views, as screenshots from forum posts dating back to 2008 show that he has harbored these thoughts for quite some time.
In light of the new comments from Mistabishi, drum & bass label Hospital Records has decided to remove all of Mistabishi’s releases from their catalog and stores, as well as donate any income from his releases to the charity, LoveMusic HateRacism. You can read their statement below.

Overall, it seems that Mistabishi’s career is now in shambles, having revealed himself to be antithetical to what dance music stands for, as well as showing himself to be a harbinger of hate and antiquated ideals. We would wish him the best of luck in life, but it’s not clear if he even deserves that.
They should rename their label to Gulag Records. Former Soviet dictator Joseph Stalin would be proud of them.
he’s been calling people “pakkis” online since 2003

He needs therapy.
Mistabishi had the balls to speak the voice of the common man. He is what makes an artist true. I’ll be supporting any artist who has is fearless and challenging. The truth hurts only the weak.
Indeed, you need the heart of a lion to speak the truth so freely in modern Britain. Mistabishi stood tall and strong. A true Londoner. A true Briton. A true artist.
He spoke up when everyone else is too afraid to because of the suppressive and censored police state we live in. Thought is not a crime, nor is speech.
This is ridiculous, he wasnt dropped from Hospital, like you insinuate in your blog headline to get more views. He was dropped from Hospital almost a decade ago because he was caught playing pre mixed CDs and then went on a rampage attacking people on forums. He hasnt had anything to do with Drum & Bass for a very long time. Get your facts straight
It’s seems that you don’t understand that racist, facist, or any kind of that is not welcome in drum’n’bass or any other place. U’re not welcome here neither. ©unT
ƒuck u
You seem rattled. Your name calling speaks volumes. Step outside the echo chamber – lots of different views exist everywhere. Ignorance is your choice but not mine. I live in London. I see all the problems plus all the benefits. A debate is there to be had. Only the weak are afraid.
Trust me half these posts on this comment section is Mistabishi in disguise trying to convince himself his views are correct. He went under various imposter accounts on dogs on acid and its the same thing here.There is no way out now for this guy.He slagged of Goldie for being an old timer,he slagged of Nosia,Andy C and just about every known artist in the DNB world.He now attacks the culture that founded the music along with the people of London. Which is strange as he’s from the suburbs’ of Essex?Im sure he will worm his way around trying to find some excuse for his spoilt brat mutterings.Sad lonely bitter man.
I’m not rattled, i’m pissed.
This name define who I’am, a total opposite of you.
The only echo chamber I know is for music.
Your view are racist, and therefore forbidden.
Calling me an ignorant is showing yours.
‘Forbidden’?
You are naive and clueless. My exact opposite indeed.

wow he has his own opinion and it is not the one we should all have, so let’s kill him!
Look lets get one thing straight!https://www.bing.com/images/search?view=detailV2&ccid=VAn9AyX8&id=8D4030185ED60F6EB592ED9EDAA91E5B73398869&thid=OIP.VAn9AyX8l4nynnor0KjaLwHaFj&q=bald+head+pony+tail&simid=608049457156525167&selectedIndex=72&ajaxhist=0
Actually he was and now they’re not paying him any money generated from his music and it’s going to a Charity that combats racism.
