In local news, a boy has reportedly died from sleep deprivation, with his parents placing the blame squarely on the music he listened to on popular club streaming website Be-At TV.
Nineteen year old Anthony Morris, from Hertfordshire, apparently spent over one hundred and fifty hours looking for an original version of a track he claimed had been sampled by over one hundred different house music producers.
A source, who wishes to remain unnamed, claimed Anthony often rambled on about the same “beautiful female vocals” over various house and techno tracks and how if he could just find the original version of the song, it would “change [his] life forever”.
Whilst the death has not been treated as suspicious, local police undertook a brief check through Anthony’s bedroom and found some irregular activity.
Detective Banks of Hertfordshire Police highlighted a huge variety of the same search in Anthony’s Google history over that fateful 150 hour period.
“Welcome to Be-At TV original mix”, “Welcome to Be-At TV song”, “Who wrote Welcome to Be-At TV” “Be-At TV house” and “You’re Listening to Be-At TV” were all listed, over and over again.
Detective Banks went on to suggest that there were more than 100,000 unrecognised Shazam tags in the young man’s phone.
Best friend John Burgess was astounded by this figure, “Over 100,000 unknown Shazam tags is a mental number considering that bloody App usually palms you off with some shit that sounds nothing like the song you are looking for. Ant must have really wanted to find this tune. It must be a real banger.”
Girlfriend Roxanne said her late boyfriend had told her about his foolproof plan for a rise to DJ stardom, “He told me that every one had sampled the Be-At tune. He said he’d heard DJs like Seth Troxler, Sasha and Maceo Plex using it and that they were all doing well for themselves. He thought it would change his life. I knew he was right but I never thought it would be like this, I always thought it would involve guest lists, free drinks and cocaine, not him being dead.”
In their statement, parents Sue and Keith have vowed to find the original version and play it at his funeral as a mark of respect.
