Deadmau5 back-tracked from branding all DJs ‘fucking cunts’ this week, insisting he was only referring to those who fit ‘the concept that ‘I recognize as being a "disc jockey"’ in a recent interview with Ireland’s Daily Star. “Let me start by admitting . . . I did not grow up in the EDM (electronic dance music) scene. I don’t consider my career to be about "being a DJ". I don’t have "DJ roots". I never had any intention of becoming a DJ,” he declared in a statement posted on his Myspace blog. “And my conception of "DJ's" in general from this standpoint has always been . . . being forced into some nightclub when I would have rather stayed home, and watch some dood (dude) mash the "play / stop" button and occasionally move a pitch slider. Love it or hate it, that's just been my conception of the traditional "dj",” he said. “I’m not a total fucking idiot, and I recognize talent when I see it . . . and there are many talented DJ's out there for sure,” he conceded. Two weeks previously the Star quoted him as comparing DJs to ‘fucking lawyers’ (‘you need them but they’re fucking cunts&rsquo

adding that he was ‘bored to fucking tears’ with DJs and hoped they ‘will fucking go the way of the dinosaur’.

This week, however, he took the tabloid to task for ‘picking out all the stupid bits . . . to interview me about anything other than music . . . is stupid: Period’, to the consternation of Star Music editor (and acclaimed DJ) Mark Kavanagh.
