Around midnight on Friday, Jan. 20, at Dirtybird’s Quarterly Party at Mezzanine, Justin Martin’s USB drive was stolen. The DJ was about to start his set after a rousing hour and 15-minute long stint by his brother Christian Martin when he discovered that the hard drive was missing.
Though he didn’t make a public announcement about the theft, an attendee says he “heard it through the grapevine that it got stolen” and that “you could see that [Justin Martin] was upset.”
Indeed, Martin’s wrath is available for all to see on Twitter where he has posted numerous tweets about the theft, even going so far as to offer a $1000 reward for the missing drive.
I will find you mother fucker.
