Calvin Harris has posted an angry Twitter rant aimed at BBC Newsbeat, who broadcast an interview in which the Scottish dance star appeared to condone pre-recorded DJ sets.
The interview with Harris was posted online this evening (20 November, 2012), during which Calvin Harris appeared to speak out in favour of pre-recorded DJ sets. During Harris' Twitter rant however, he claims he was asked if it was OK for DJs to play records and that the interviewer changed the question after the interview. He ended his Twitter rant considering taking 'action' against the station.
"F*cking raging with this Newsbeat guy. I remember the interview and his stupid fucking question is it ok for DJs to play records," he tweeted. "Then he'll change his question in the edit to is it ok to PRERECORD a DJ set and use my answer to a DIFFERENT QUESTION?!"
BBC Newsbeat had tweeted a link at Calvin Harris on Twitter, which prompted the DJ's reaction.
Listen now to hear @calvinharris talking about "push button row". Should DJs play live, or ok for pre-recorded sets? bbc.in/TUYEC0

Calvin continued his tirade against the interviewer, accusing the radio journalist of not preparing properly before speaking to the 'We Found Love' hitmaker.
"I remember this guy from @BBCNewsbeat who did the interview, he actually apologised beforehand for not being prepared + knew nothing," he continued. "Then he'll make ME look bad because HE'S shite, and play it on the biggest national radio station in the UK?! Right ok @BBCNewsbeat."

Calvin Harris later threatened legal action against Radio One, finishing his rant saying: "Looking into taking action on @BBCNewsbeat for that libellous broadcast."
