In an interview with Vibe magazine, Diplo had a dig at the very activity that helps score him an income:
“Sometimes I make more money in a weekend than my grandpa made in a year. Being a DJ is pretty bullshit. I’m lucky I can produce records, too, because DJs don’t do shit. They just fucking play records. Usher is trained to dance. Justin Bieber had to train 24 hours a day to be a performer. What I do is pretty simple. It’s a good time to be a DJ and make good money, but you definitely can’t have an ego doing this shit because it’s not that cool.”
Armin responding by showing how he truly is the God of the Decks! This is an incredible view into the production that is Armin van Buuren!
How is this a response to diplo… Armin produces aswell…
It could also be a response to the whole ‘button pushing’ comments from deadmau5. Feed Me posted a video not too long ago about he keeps his light show in sync by having it triggered by the clips in Ableton that also trigger certain parts of a track. I couldn’t help but wonder how DJs using decks managed this too, and now I know.
