When we look back at this period of music and the explosion of electronic dance music, Avicii will definitely be a center for discussion. No other artist has seen a rise like the 22 year old Swede who in one year has crossed over to the mainstream while signing deals with Bud Light Platinum, Ralph Lauren Polo Jeans, teaming up with Madonna and more. Is he more talented than his counterparts? It’s debatable, but what isn’t is how Avicii is headlining almost every major electronic dance festival in 2012.
Feedme throws the first punch with this tweet with Funkagenda and Dillon Francis joining in. Funkagenda even adds that Avicii refused to play at Deadmau5’s show in SD, unless his stage was as big as Joel’s.
Avicii responds calling the allegations false and puts the set time move on Coachella.
Not one to let his star take a hit on the internet, Avicii’s manager comes to his defense with some Dana White like fury.
This is the first time we’ve seen any producers actively criticize Avicii, especially in a public forum like twitter. It’s understandable why Feedme would be jealous, but he needs to follow Ash’s advice and worry about his own career.
