It’s a club music war! During his recent interview for Rolling Stone’s Summer Special issue, Deadmau5 decided to throw some shots toward fellow DJ’s David Guetta and Skrillex…one of whom he’s friends with! He even gets at the legendary Madonna, angered at her referencing the current popular drug “Molly” recently. “You want to be ‘hip’ and ‘cool’ and ‘funky grandma’?” he taunts her. Wow! Read the excerpts below.
On David & Skrillex:
“David Guetta has two iPods and a mixer and he just plays tracks – like, ‘Here’s one with Akon, check it out!'” he says. “Even Skrillex [a friend of Deadmau5’s] isn’t doing anything too technical. He has a laptop and a MIDI recorder, and he’s just playing his shit … People are, thank God, smartening up about who does what – but there’s still button-pushers getting paid half a million. And not to say I’m not a button-pusher. I’m just pushing a lot more buttons.”On Madonna:
“You want to be ‘hip’ and ‘cool’ and ‘funky grandma’? Fine. It’s not my place to say you’re irrelevant. If you’re gonna come into my world, at least do it with a little more dignity. I understand she has millions more fans, and is way more successful than I’ll ever be. But it’s like talking about slavery at a fucking blues concert. It’s inappropriate.”
