There seems to be a never-ending supply of Twitter beef when it comes to electronic dance music. In today's edition of EDM Twitter, we have a drunk Virtual Riot in one corner and a seemingly always over aggressive Rob Swire in the other. The firey interaction started when a drunk Virtual Riot said what we were literally all thinking – the new Knife Party remix of Pendulums track ‘Blood Sugar' absolutely sucks. At the time it seems that Virtual Riot forgot that he is a big enough star now to where his tweets can actually get the attention of his idols.
If you did not know – Rob Swire can be an angry man on Twitter. Needless to say when he saw a younger artist starting to talk some smack he literally lost his mind. So the question that needs to be answered – did Knife Party‘s response go too far? Or did Virtual Riot make a mistake by calling out a legend? Check out the remix below, as well as the full twitter interaction.

Knife Party vs. Virtual Riot
Why is this @knifepartyinc remix of Blood Sugar so terrible

Ahh, the mysteries of life. Kinda like – why do dubstep bros think wavetables are a substitute for any musical ability? No one knows.

Or – why does Virtual Riot think one solitary remix is worth being such a cunt in public about? These are all good questions 🤷♂️

I just had a listen, the original is such an anthem that any sort of remix has to do something so unique to work. This just feels like a random remix any guy in his garage could make
