Azealia Banks posts an email on her Tumblr/Instragram

/

Azealia Banks just tweeted a link to an email that she threatened to post a few days ago:

It's safe to assume that the post above was in response to Baauer's comments to the Daily Beast which was summarized by Pitchfork:

"Now, Baauer has responded to Banks. In interview with the Daily Beast, Baauer explained that he had planned to release a version of the song with Banks quite a while ago. But when her verse wasn't up to snuff, he pulled the plug on the collaboration and went ahead with the instrumental version of the song."

"She laid something on 'Harlem Shake' and it was so/so. Didn't love it," he said...So we told her, 'Please don't release your version.' And she said, 'Well, I'm going to put it online anyway.' And we said, 'Please don't. We'd really like it if you didn't.' And she did."

I wonder how much further this back and forth is going to go.

Tomorrowland expands to new international destination on September 27-29th

Teaser video:

There is no official indication where the new location of TomorrowWORLD will be held but with all of the recent news of SFX-ID&T's partnership all signs are pointing towards a U.S location.

EDM Snob was quick to the draw in claiming that the new location will be in Atlanta, Georgia:

I hope that the location will ultimately be a little closer to the Canada-US border so that Canadians can take a short road trip to the event. Overall this is very exciting news for such a high demand festival as Tomorrowland.

Facebook troll group took aim at W&W during ASOT 600's broadcast in Mexico

/

A Facebook group called 'Trance Producers Trolls' aimed their sights on Dutch duo W&W on Saturday night during A State of Trance 600 in Mexico City. 'Trance Producers Trolls' galvanized their supporters to use the 'poop' emoticon on W&W's page:

The reason given by 'Trance Producer Trolls' own Facebook page was to "let those trousers understand no place for shitty music in ASOT!" combined with "come on we gonna caption this , the worst day in their life!" Following the mass messages of "poop", Trance Producers Trolls, a page with 18,000 likes, claimed that "more than 2000" were banned from the W&W Facebook page.

Meanwhile various Trance DJs have spoken vocally on Twitter in support of W&W:

The creators of 'Trance Producers Trolls' remains unknown as their About page describes them as "Trance Producers Trolls is just to make you laugh nothing personal, make some memes and post them on wall or send them as msg . cheers." Their targets have recently extended beyond the Trance genre when they asked their group to "poop" on Steve Aoki's 'Tag Yo Self!' pictures on Facebook.

While there remains a lot of opportunities for constructive criticism in the EDM world, simply trolling DJ fan pages is counter-productive and paints a negative picture for Trance fans all over the world.

W&W is slated to play in four more A State of Trance 600 events including Kuala Lumpur, Miami, Guatemala City, and New York.

The weird story of Azealia Banks, Baauer, and Perez Hilton *Updated

/

In Azealia Banks' world, engaging in one feud isn't enough as she apparently needs two separate feuds at the same time to keep her engaged. Her squabbles involve Baauer for her unauthorized use of recently #1 iTunes track 'Harlem Shake', and Perez Hilton with her all too frequent use of the word "Faggot".

Spin wrote a fantastic article describing both of these feuds at the same time while Fact Mag wrote an earlier piece summarizing the Baauer-Banks feud.

For the more adventurous types you can even read the raw Twitter conversation first between Baauer-Banks that eventually devolves into a weird Twitter duel between Banks-Hilton.

As these events have yet to fully unfold, Azealia Banks released a video for her highly controversial version of the 'Harlem Shake':

Update:

Yesterday Azealia Banks had this to say about Diplo:

According to Fact Mag (VIA Pitchfork), Azealia Banks sent a Twitter message to Baauer stating that she has emails that show Baauer giving her permission to use Harlem Shake.

This post will be updated if new developments arise.
