Nowadays, the dance music community isn’t looking like much of a community, as artists are constantly fighting with one another. This week’s hot feud is Seth Troxler vs. Dyro, which is essentially a personified version of the classic underground vs. mainstream debate. Basically, over a year ago, Troxler ventured to the Tomorrowland main stage and called the music he was hearing “sonic ear rape”. Dyro was performing at the time and after a video of the incident reemerged, the Dutch producer, as well as other industry heavyweights such as Hardwell and Zedd, defended him and the music they believe in.

Didn’t know I was cool enough to have @sethtroxler hate on my music. Next time I’ll play you some vengeance loops. https://t.co/XcU3Wphv7D

@Dyro I’ve tried to be quite on this but Its going too far. 1st I don’t know who you are? Like a single clue so don’t flatter yourself. — seth troxler (@sethtroxler) August 14, 2015
@Dyro 2nd in a core musical theory sense, or sound design EDM is fundamentally on the bottom. I use machines you use a computer. Fact.

@Dyro 3rd and this is most important you brought all of this to light. You find the year old video took out a 30 sec clip to be victimised — seth troxler (@sethtroxler) August 14, 2015
@Dyro so please if you could stop the onslaught of your 12-23 year old uneducated fan Base to stop tweeting me it would be a pleasure. Thanx

@Dyro lets face the facts EDM is bad music. And it’s doubtful you would have job had your record company not paid for you to be on radio. ? — seth troxler (@sethtroxler) August 14, 2015
