Headliners Around the World Mourn Passing of Insomniac’s Mama Irene

April 20, 2015 by Nick Pesavento

With a heavy heart we regret to announce that yesterday, April 19th, Pasquale Rotella’s mother, “Mama Irene” passed away.

Seeing the enthusiasm Pasquale shows for what he does, it is no surprise that “Mama Irene” was his inspiration and shining example for what a headliner is. “Her generosity and affection touched every element of the human spirit. She was never afraid to dance and let her love shine for all to see.” It is no easy task to overcome a loss, but when it is someone near and dear to your heart, it is all the more difficult. As headliners, we have been hoping and praying for the best possible outcome and it saddens each and every one of us to see her pass on.

In a post to Facebook, Pasquale mentions that instead of mourning her loss, we should be celebrating. In her honor, on Sunday April 26th, a memorial celebration will be held at Hollywood Forever Cemetary. As Pasquale tells Facebook, it will be everything she would have wanted, dancing, music, family, friends, good food, and lots of laughter. Details will be announced regarding RSVP procedures soon.

Pasquale would also like to have any stories of Mama Irene shared with the world. You can post it using the hashtag #mamairene or email to mama@insomniac.com. A special tribute will be put together using everything that is posted and emailed.

Though we have not known her personally, the inspiration she imparted on Pasquale is alive and thriving as each year insomniac strives to bring the best out of people. Our hearts go out to the Rotella family and everyone effected by this loss.

With all the love,
EDM Assassins
