English electronic music producer Deekline has caused waves of controversy in the music industry after comparing Steve Aoki remixing David Guetta’s hit single Dangerous to “farting to mask the smell of shit”.
Deekline, real name Nicholas Annand, made the outlandish statement via his Facebook account shortly after hearing the bass heavy remix earlier this week.
“I really don’t see the point of remixing music that isn’t good to begin with,” claimed Deekline during a chat with Wunderground. “Nowadays all you’ve got to do is record a cheesy vocal over a cell phone ring tone and some EDM clown is going to want to remix it.”
“I’ve heard the original version of Dangerous and I’ve heard Aoki’s remix,” revealed Deekline surprisingly. “Neither of them sound good at all. The remix sounds like a suffocating fish flapping about on a drum machine while screaming cats are having sex in the background.”
“Guetta’s nothing but a pop star as far as I’m concerned and I don’t have a clue what the fuck the other fella is,” scoffed Deekline angrily. “Doing a remix doesn’t make you an underground producer. I can cover my bollox in chocolate sprinkles and stick a little glazed cherry on top, that doesn’t make me a baker and it certainly doesn’t make my bollox a cake.”
“And that’s good, because the last thing I want is Steve Aoki trying to throw my cream covered ballsack into the crowd at one of his shows,” he added with a cheeky laugh and grin.
“There’s nothing that annoys me more than logging onto Facebook and seeing countless EDM blogs reporting that Tweedledee has done a remix for Tweedledum,” continued the clearly irked I Don’t Smoke producer. “So fucking what? There’s a thousand remixes, a thousand times better than that one, released every single week and nobody bats an eyelid.”
“Then these two tools come along with a sorry excuse for a song, that sounds like something out of an episode of My Little Pony, and everyone’s harping on about it. That for me sums up just about everything that’s wrong with the music industry today.”
David Guetta moved quickly to defend himself and Aoki against Deekline’s crass comments with “some soppy justification for his pop dance money-music that he has been schooled to say by his marketing team and which nobody with a clue really cares about, or believes.”
