Meanwhile, Troy Pierce gets locked in the loo

Here’s why you should never go to the toilet in the middle of a DJ set. Minus troublemaker Troy Pierce decided to sneak a leak whilst playing at the Beatport 5 Year Anniversary Tour party at Rex club in Paris recently.

After putting on a record, he scarpered to the nearest bathroom to do his business, but unfortunately for him, the door somehow locked behind him and wouldn’t open. Oh dear.

For almost an hour Troy Pierce was locked in the loo, and Konrad Black [a] had to take over control of the music to save the party.

In the end security heard Troy banging on the door, and despite their best efforts to unlock the door, they had no choice but to break it down, one punch at a time.

They smashed a hole in the door just wide enough for Troy to squeeze out of, and about one hour after he had gone missing, Mr. Pierce began his DJ set for the second time that night.
