Killing It: The Plursace Edition

There's enough gossip going around the world of electronic music that it probably deserves its own TMZ, Gawker, and Perez Hilton. We keep track of the drama, the beef, the LOLs, the dramatic build-ups, and the tragic drops so you don't have to. Now, let's see who killed it this week.

AN UPLIFTING MESSAGE FROM… BURIAL?

Last week on her radio show, Mary Anne Hobbs received a text message from someone claiming to be Burial. The text described the semi-anonymous producer's new EP as "anti-bullying tunes that could maybe help someone believe in themselves… it's like an angel's spell to protect them against the unkind people, the dark times, and the self-doubts." D'aww. Wish more artists had a heart like this dude. We all want to give him a hug.

PLURSACE

Flosstradamus' new lookbook for his merch is out, and unlike most lookbooks, it actually doesn't suck. In fact, it's full of everything we love: trap music, cute boys, girls with big boobs, and people smoking weed out of a pineapple. Good work, guys.

KAYTRANADA THE RAPPER

We are confused. That is all.

SETH TROXLER CALLS NINA KRAVIZ A CUNT

Let's be real. We all love a good shit-talking session. So we all giggled when Seth went off about how he thinks Nina Kraviz is a bitch in an interview with our people over at THUMP UK. "There's been occasions where she's really stressed me out by being such a bitch," Troxler said, "I was trying to help her set up the CDJs for her set as I'm still mixing. I asked her to plug the RCA into her CDJ and—I swear to God—she said, 'I don't do that type of thing.' I was like, 'What the fuck… I'm trying to help you out here!'" Hmm… who was really stepping over the line here?

YEEZUS CHRIST

We are happy that Kanye West just signed Evian Christ to his label G.O.O.D. Music. He deserves it! We are also convinced his name was half the reason why this happened. I mean come on, it's so obvious.

GRIME NATION

And why we are on the subject, our favorite little Boiler Room troll just got signed to Jay Z's Roc Nation. Ohhh, just think of the collabs that we will see in 2014.

ULTRA LINEUP REVEALED

It's funny that no one knows who Above and Beyond are, and then they Google it and are immediately like, "HOLY SHIT THESE GUYS ARE HUGE!" Also, is it just us or is there some sus billing placement going on here? Why is Waka Flocka so small on the bill? He tours with Steve Aoki?!

HANZEL NOT SO HOT RIGHT NOW

So a little while back EDM "funny man" Dillon Francis made up some weird German alias because he was probably too scared to play house music himself and had to develop an alterego named DJ Hanzel to get away with it, just in case "the kids" don't like it. So now Dillon-Francis-as-DJ-Hanzel is opening for Dillon Francis for 15 minutes on tour. Why Dillon can't just open his tour by playing 15 minutes of what EDM DJs think is deep house himself is beyond us. Go "one deeper." Like, as low as possible.
