Dice Corleone, AKA Loco Dice, the German-Tunisian DJ and producer, has warned fans after a troubling theft during a recent show. Last Friday the artist revealed that a fully loaded USB stick and an external hard drive, which he says contained his entire music archive, including years of unreleased material, were taken from his tour manager’s bag inside the DJ booth. “I’m hurt and in shock,” he wrote, adding that actions like this are “disrespectful” to the community.
According to reports from Loco Dice’s team, the robbery occurred on October 10th at Milan’s Fabrique club while Dice was performing, and the loss represents not only a personal blow but a professional one: many artists trust DJs with demos and pre-release tracks, and Dice apologized to those whose music he safeguarded.
Dice urged fans and fellow DJs to stay alert. If they hear one of the tracks he plays in his sets appearing elsewhere, they should notify his team. He also revealed that his crew is reviewing video footage from the booth and directly appealed to the thief to return what isn’t theirs, offering an anonymous way to make things right.
The post prompted an outpouring of support across the electronic music community, with peers publicly backing Dice and calling for respect within DJ culture. The incident has reignited conversations about security at events and the value of digital music libraries, assets that represent years of curation and relationships.
Anyone with information is asked to contact his team or the venue so the archive can be recovered.
