Mixmag reports, multiple DJs have spoken out about their alleged abusive experiences with Hall, who is the son of the late Terry Hall of The Specials.On Tuesday (April 11), New York-based artist Rainstick (real name Anthony Lowe) shared a statement on Instagram in which he accused Hall of sending “completely unprovoked, violent zionist messages, including vile death threats against my family”.“I learned that he also menaced at least two other people – female musicians of colour – with zionist messages, and that this may be a pattern of anti-Palestinian behaviour,” Lowe continued.In a statement obtained by Mixmag, Lowe said: “I have never before had a personal issue with Felix Hall.

The issue is the bigotry, racism and violence he has displayed (and then tried to hide), and the greater dangers they represent.”Several other artists have since come forward to detail their experiences with Hall, including North African DJ Marwa Belhaj Youssef.

Taking to Instagram, she posted a screenshot of an Israel flag emoji she had received in a message from Hall two days before Lowe’s statement.Youssef told Mixmag that she’d “never had a conversation with Hall” prior to receiving the message, and was “totally shocked” at him contacting her in such a manner. “He is a danger for this scene which should be a safe space for all of us,” she explained.Four years later I’m finally speaking up about my experiences with Felix Hall pic.twitter.com/IRgpL4g9Wq— MACHETE / 777.
