Christmas 2015, there was an event called Leakmas, where hundreds of things got leaked onto Xtrill, onto Reddit. All of the things that Dino had taken from Excision's house, all of them leaked. There wasn't one single thing that didn't get leaked. And it was all just because it was being traded like crazy. Did Excision ever figure out that Dino did this? No, to this day, he's never realized.

Never, never, never found out.

Professor Dubstep was getting deeper into the unreleased Dubstep trading scene. 2016 comes around. The tactics that traders were using to obtain the unreleased music files was changing a little bit. And there were a couple of incidents where artists had played a DJ set at a club and someone would go up after the show and just take the USB drive straight out of the mixer. Whoa!

With all the secret stuff on it. Yeah. They'd go right up on stage and grab the equipment. Yeah, well, it's Pioneer CDJ systems. You basically just put a small USB flash drive into the top. So if someone walked past it, they could just swipe it really easily. And no one would notice until it was too late. Well, I mean, doesn't the music immediately stop?

Yeah, it happened plenty of times. There was a guy called Snails who was blowing up in the scene in late 2015. He had his USB stolen. All of the files from it leaked onto Reddit. Skrillex had his USB stolen as well. All of those things ended up leaking in late 2016 onto Reddit. Again, you know, it's something that keeps happening.

I think it still happens to this day that artists have their USB drives stolen out of the equipment on stage.

Leakers in the scene were frowned upon. So things actually being leaked, whoever leaks something is, you know, it burns their reputation.
