Remember when Deadmau5 'called out' DJs for simply "pressing play," as he put it? Course you do - it caused one of the biggest gossip/shit fights the electronic music scene has ever witnessed, sparking debate from all corners of the globe from fans, writers and fellow artists.
Well it seems that the controversy stemming from that incident still hasn't simmered down. In a recent interview with Billboard, Dutch DJ and Paris Hilton's ex-fuck buddy Afrojack spoke about the art of DJing and his thoughts on the whole 'press play' philosophy, taking aim at Deadmau5.
"You're never just pressing play. If you're a guy in a cube with a mask on, you can press play. Deadmau5 also said himself he's not a DJ - don't talk about stuff you don't know about. I don't know shit about LED walls and giant mouse heads; I can't judge it."
Wow, no love for Mousey from Jacky there. In the interview Afrojack also goes on to explain that being a DJ is more than just hitting a play button and that he and his pals have got skills.
"If you put four CD players in front of me or [Sebastian Ingrosso] or even Skrillex, we've been DJ'ing for so long, we can do a lot of things with those CD players."
Never one to shy away from an online slagging match, the Mau5 has naturally taken to his Twitter to respond.
Now now, boys. You've got to learn to share your toys.
