General discussion / Dj Sneak vs. Swedish House Mafia -- Twitter storm

If there’s one thing we’ve learnt about house original DJ Sneak over the years, it’s that he’s never one to mince words. From speaking his mind on David Guetta to inthemix through to his assessment of Paris Hilton’s dance music career, you can always count on straight-talking from Sneak. The latest target in his sights: the Swedish House Mafia.

In an interview with DJ Mag that has done the rounds this weekend, the ‘house gangster’ says of the Swedish trio: “It’s a sad thing when the Swedish House Mafia is being paid big money to come to the US to play house music,” he quipped. “For the record, they do not play house music.” A wave of support for his comment came from other artists like Nick Curly, Joakim, Dave Clarke and Art Department.

Felix da Housecat, however, wasn’t impressed by the swipe, writing on Twitter: “Couldn’t imagine Prince telling MJ or Madonna telling Springsteen or Cyndi Lauper telling Thom Yorke what’s cred and not cred..so STUPID!”



Sneak then took his thoughts to Twitter, which promoted a reply from Swedish House Mafioso Steve Angello: “It’s stupid of you calling out people like that on Twitter. We always respected you but you show a side that’s fucked up.” And this is what followed…

which one?

Sneak

This has been going on for ages now, it gets boring real fast! Ofcourse Sneak's right and totally agree with him, but this isn't the way to fix a "problem" like that.. You won't get anywhere at all.

Steve should be shot in the face with a 12 gauge.

Spuit 11.

Is gewoon de eindshow van Dance Valley, hij heeft daarvoor een uur en drie kwartier lopen draaien (JA, met koptelefoon). Niet dat Steve geen lul is, maar dit wilde ik even rechtzetten. Met vriendelijke groet.

Uhhh nee. Hij heeft de hele set geen koptelefoon op gehad.. Niet dat dat zó erg is, als je 100x per week dezelfde set draait dan heb je geen koptelefoon meer nodig. Maar het is inderdaad een ontiechelijk lul.

Iedereen heeft wat recht te zetten geloof ik? Ik zal ook maar even recht zetten dan dat Steve het geen ene flikker uit maakt of het recht of scheef staat. De lading nullen achter de cijfers op z'n bankrekening zet genoeg recht dacht ik zo.. En inderdaad, het blijft een lul!

After reading his statement, I do agree entirely with what is said, just not a fan of him as a DJ. Before Tiesto was 'big' he made some brilliant albums. Sadly Armin van Buuren went the same way and of the great dutch DJs there's only what, Ferry Corsten and Johan Gielen of the big names that haven't done the mass media adds still remained great! Laidback Luke as another example. But on ye publicity lines, Ducksauce...can you really, openly say both A Trak and AvH are bad influences considering contribution but also on A Trak's technical side, not quite Mark Skully or Kentaro but he'd wipe he floor with Edie Halliwell in a scratch session without doubt.
