Update: SoundCloud reported they have been in contact with all of the artists as soon as the problems occurred. “Our copyright team has been working with affected creators since the incident began.” SoundCloud also mentioned that that they are happy to report that they have reinstated all affected content.
The bass community, more specifically the Riddim community, is watching some of its best talents get annihilated today as a rogue account has started to get dozens of tracks pulled from the streaming platform. An account, known only as DR EGG, is submitting a litany of copyright infringement tickets to Soundcloud. The streaming platform is pulling tons of music from the likes of Subtronics, Mastadon, Ubur, SVDDEN DEATH, Xaebor, and many more without question.
These disputes happen regularly on Soundcloud, but usually, the company is quick to rectify the errors.
The account, whose picture is only that of Dr. Robotnik from the Sonic The Hedgehog series is leaving angsty and bizarre comments on many of the producers which have been victims of the attack.
We hope that the music is restored and this account can be banned, or else Soundcloud may finally have lost the support from one of its most supportive communities.

I hate Spotify but since every track on my Soundcloud profile just got removed you'll have to go there if you're trying to peep any of my new music https://t.co/EfxHTPPO9C

Apparently some kid is going around getting songs removed from Soundcloud right now. One of them was my collab with @mastadontunes . Hopefully it gets resolved soon. Poor elephants :/ They will March again

you get paid for SoundCloud streams as well if you know how to monetize.
This isn’t a money issue, this is a recurring issue that SoundCloud needs to fix because it’s ruining their platform. https://t.co/Whe3rMjIyn

btw, all the people posting about who did this to us are forgetting that it’s not about that piece of shit, it’s about SoundCloud’s terrible takedown policy.

.@SoundCloud @SCsupport You CANNOT have an automated copyright system without it being abused. Why are you accepting claims from fresh accounts with no activity. Hire a team to oversee this shit. When this happened earlier in the year it took MONTHS to get our songs back.

IMPORTANT Please retweet: Copyright claims are being filed under my name. Literally every producer is getting there songs taken down and the guy is trying to put the blame on me. Wanna say I have nothing to do with this. Me and my team are doing our best to sort this out ASAP pic.twitter.com/KmLCN6g9IS

someone just false copyright striked ALL of my songs that are 100% me and now they are gone on my pro account I’ve spent 100’s of dollars on for serveral years and has 50k followers on. Bye @soundcloud you are a fucking trash service.
RT so they know.

9 of my songs were taken down from @SoundCloud overnight for copyright claims. I am at a total loss for words. Years of hard work washed away in a matter of minutes. I will fight this to the best of my ability. Sorry to anyone who wanted to listen to any of those tunes today 😔
