Skrillex and Deadmau5 engage in epic Twitter war

There's just too much beef in EDM these days

09:48 2nd November 2015

The EDM wars have stepped up a notch, with giants Skrillex and Deadmau5 coming to some epic blows on Twitter.

The duo were formerly friends, with Deadmau5 being an early supporter in helping to launch the career of Skrillex.

But now, after Deadmau5 attacked Skrillex's work on 'I Need U' with Jack U, Diplo and Justin Bieber as 'shit', the mouse-headed Twitter-botherer has hit him with numerous other jibes - culminating in Skrillex accusing him of 'bullying', not caring about the artists on his label, and 'shrivelling in his own pile of hateful shit'.

It got pretty brutal and colourful. Check it out for yourself below:

.@deadmau5 I dont care bout ur personal career but the fact that u own ur own record label is sad.I feel sorry the artists you've signed

Thanks internet therapists.

@Skrillex the fact that I own a record label is sad? OK. It's a sad label. Let's have a cry. I don't tell my artists what to do. Clearly.

Monday: emergency label meeting. Big business. Much impact. So crying. (After voodoofest)

No clue.. Most days I just wake up to a time line that's all skrillex this or Madonna that. Hardly give a Fuck. https://t.co/vEbIMNry2p

Yes. My music is very hateful. I mean, it's obvious in the drops and chords. https://t.co/51Lk4zEABQ

@Skrillex oh burrrnnnn! Yeah. We suck. But we're 18% less suckier than last quarter.
— deadmau5 (@deadmau5) November 1, 2015

@Skrillex tell you what. Lemme borrow the lil popstar for a week, mash together a radio hit in 23 minutes, and will be good label! Yay!
— deadmau5 (@deadmau5) November 1, 2015

In summary: 2 EDM sellouts bitching about who's got a good label and or who's sad. Welcome to 2015. That's about all I'm getting outta this

@Skrillex yeah, it's definitely an interesting paradigm, that's for sure.

David Guetta: "David Guetta has two iPods and a mixer and he just plays tracks - like, 'Here's one with Akon, check it out!"
Skrillex (again): "Skrillex isn't doing anything too technical. He has a laptop and a MIDI recorder, and he's just playing his shit."
Paris Hilton: "The Mayans saw this shit coming. It's over. All I'm trying to do, is put on my life jacket and swim as far away from this shipwreck as fast as I can."
Madonna: "Very classy there Madonna. Quite the fucking philanthropist. But hey, at least yer hip and trendy! Fucking can't smack my head hard enough right now. What the fuck was that? Fuck off you fucking idiot."
All DJs: "They're like fucking lawyers. You need them, but they're fucking cunts."
Justin Bieber (again): "You little prick. You just fucking ruined every chance I ever had of getting on fucking Top Gear."
Kanye West: "Fucking Kanye. I fucking hate him. He's just trying too hard."
Justin Bieber: "Someone needs to jump on Justin's stage and start telling him what to play. I apologize on behalf of Canada%u2026 Dear @justinbieber , would you please grow the fuck up already? In the meantime, put a shirt on, and stay away from nightclubs.
Skrillex: "Most days I just wake up to a time line that's all skrillex this or Madonna that. Hardly give a Fuck. EDM sellouts bitching about who's got a good label and or who's sad. Welcome to 2015. That's about all I'm getting outta this"
