This EDM Beef Between Zedd, Diplo, and a Moldovan DJ Is More Entertaining Than EDM
EntertainmentZedd, a producer and DJ who is partially responsible for that song “The Middle,” is also partially responsible for my favorite thing so far this week: a dude fight about who owns the soul of EDM, or something.
What I know about the insular and worrisome world of EDM is very little—there are beats and something called an Electric Daisy Carnival with body paint and shorts. What I know about Diplo is that he doesn’t like balding music critics and was the target of a sick burn by Rihanna. I know absolutely nothing about Max Vangeli, the Moldovan DJ in question, but now I know that he seems to have a lil chip on his shoulder about Diplo.
According to Billboard, Diplo had Vangeli open for him at a DJ set in Hong Kong and Diplo reportedly “blanked” on Vangeli—the EDM version of a thrown glove in a duel. Vangeli was mad!
