Diplo Interview on Vibe: "Being a DJ is pretty bullshit"

Diplo had a few harsh words to say about the whole DJ'ing craft in Vibe Magazine last week. ​

"​...I’m lucky I can produce records, too, because DJs don’t do shit. They just fucking play records..."

I doubt this rant will elicit an A-Trak response. ​

Note: Diplo will be playing some records ​at the The Hoxton on September 13th.

Today i have something special for you ;) "Deadmau5 ft. Gerard Way - Professional Griefers" Best version you will hear before it will released ;) Download LInk: http://www63.zippyshare.com/v/86564108/file.html Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/Electro.Sensation.tk

For me it's no contest as I find the instrumental mix to be so much better. I've been rocking out to it ever since I first saw Deadmau5 showcase the track in his London Nokia promotion back in November (Starts at 0:36):

www.jasonreevephotography.com Deadmau5 combines with Nokia to illuminate London at an eye-catching event that saw the renowned producer and DJ perform in front of London's iconic Millbank Tower to a backdrop of 4D visuals stretching the full length of the 120m-tall building.

Danny Tenaglia took a bus filled with fans from NYC to Montreal for tonight's show at Stereo

You remember when Danny Tenaglia told the world that he was retiring back in April? Well he sort of refined that statement by clarifying that he will retire from international gigs while only performing in Canada/US. In keeping with that spirit Danny Tenaglia had decided to ride a special bus from his home in New York City to Montreal with a bunch of his fans for a very special event tonight at the famous Stereo Nightclub for an extended set. The last time Tenaglia performed at the 'temple' he played for around 13 hours, how long do you think he will go on tonight?

Montreal is in for a real treat as Danny Tenaglia will probably deliver another epic set that will be the talk of the town. ​
