Afrojack Lashes Out At Deadmau5

We’ll all remember Deadmau5 dissing DJs for simply ‘pressing play’ in his cover interview for the Rolling Stone magazine. It seems the controversy has not settled down..

Nick van de Wall a.k.a Afrojack as we all know him, lashed out at the whole ‘press play’ incident in an interview with Billboard a few days back. Jacky said “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. But 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”- Ouch!

Naturally, Deadmau5 had to revert back with his wisdom. His twitter feed after he probably went through the Billboard interview:
