UK drum and bass producer Mistabishi faced intense criticism from peers and fans earlier this week when he made multiple racist remarks regarding fellow London citizens as well as Muslim mayor Sadiq Khan. As a result of his actions, his entire catalog from legendary label Hospital Records was scrubbed, and all profits made from his music on the label were donated to an anti-hate charity.
Later Monday, Mistabishi posted an apology on his Facebook – or, at least, what he thought was an apology. When you start your apology with “I shouldn’t have to apologize” you’re not off to a good start. He blamed part of his agitation and opinions on PTSD “from various things […] I’ve seen here over the years.” However, people weren’t having any of it.

He followed up the next morning with a more subdued response, starting with, “Thank you all for making me see how far from the path of balance I strayed.” A better start than his previous “apology” to be certain.

He then offered one last statement yesterday morning, brushing off any claims that his career was now over, calling it a hobby of his from the beginning. He resents being called a Nazi, saying it was the “only that that got to me.”

Whatever does come of Mistabishi’s words, it’s clear that he will have no new fans for years to come.
Matthew Meadow, do the world a favor stick your head in a bucket of water and hold it there until the bubbles stop! The world will be a much better place without you.
I second this motion. All his pieces are trash mostly rehashed from whatever post is at the top of r/electronicmusic
Don’t be fooled by Mistabishi he set on this attention as a way back to revive his career.Its worked for Mel Gibson,Ten walls,katie Hopkins,and people soon and easily forget.He will try every angle possible to worm his way back into peoples hearts.The man is dangerous and one of the most mixed up guys out there.You only have to see the fake Facebook profiles he has set up and also pays for to use as fake friends to back his arguments up and use as leverage.He hides himself with fake imposter accounts on forums pretending also to be friends of himself.And don’t doubt for one second that some of these comments below aren’t orchestrated by him.Hes cunning he’s disturbed and manipulative and he will use every trick in the book to turn this to his advantage.Good people we need to stand strong against people such of mistabishi with his warped ways and beliefs.Dont fall for the literature and his feel sorry for me trickery because its already the starting signs that his Disturbed ways of winning hearts is at work.It takes years and years to recover from the mindset this brainwashed person has.His agenda isn’t recovery or seeking help.Its how can he use this popularity to his advantage.Study his page,watch his behaviour,and don’t be fooled.
