According to our source, the reasons behind cancelling the Mad Decent Block Party, India are somewhat different than what’s out in the media. Though, the guy behind Oji is probably the most connected Indian in the international electronic bass music circuit. Our source states that Oji was not getting enough sponsors to execute the event.
