Russian electro-house DJ, Zedd, has recently been spotted leaving a Los Angeles library clutching a copy of musical self help book EDM For Dummies.
Witnesses claim that the young up and coming DJ, who placed 22nd in the DJ Mag Top 100 vote, was seen leaving the library and attempting to hide the book under his coat but that the book was spotted when a passerby bumped into him causing the book to fall into full view along with several Beano comics, a book on female anatomy and a popup version of Game of Thrones.
A library employee claims that this is the third time the DJ has rented the self help tome “each time for the maximum allowed duration of 30 days” and that each time the book came back late “it was littered with dog ears, Red Bull stains and had random pages stuck together”.
It is suspected that the young Russian musician, named after corrupt cop, former chopper owner and sodomite Zedd from the 1994 film Pulp Fiction, has been renting the book as a refresher course while he is composing his next album.
“There were sentences underlined with luminous yellow highlighter, particularly the chapter on how to construct a simple yet effective beat drop – as well as a lot of grubby fingerprints in any sections that dealt with composing simple four-four beats and melodies,” added the library employee in an angry whisper. “For anyone who took a cursory glance at how worn the book is now you’d expect it to have been rented by a small non-musical child, and yet still expect the resulting music to be more sophisticated.”
Zedd, seen here pretending to work on music between in depth Facebook sessions, has earned the wrath of some of dance music’s most prominent EDM stars who are reportedly on a massive waiting list for the book.
“We’ve received some angry and abusive phonecalls from some of LA’s electro-house DJs wanting to know when the book will be available,” continued the librarian who says a similar thing happens with Michael Bay and their copy of Filmmaking For Dummies each time he’s making a new film. “Some of the EDM artists find it difficult to work without having this guidebook explaining in minute detail exactly how to follow the formula and make hits.”
