This years Ultra Music Festival in Miami gave us a lot of joyful moments, however it wasn’t all smooth sailing as a longstanding feud finally came to a head.
At the end of deadmau5’s set he took a bit of a jab at James Hype saying, “How do I James Hype my way out of this one?” and then randomly scratching the decks followed by him sarcastically saying “real DJing, I’m just saying.” This seemed to be mocking James Hype’s war against pre recorded sets. After that jab James Hype has decided he wants to throw a right hook in return and has challenged deadmau5 to a boxing match.
In an interview after Ultra, Hype said, “I’m going to make sure he lives up to the name of deadmau5 because I’m going to kill him in the ring. Who does this? Only me.” Deadmau5 has accepted the challenge already getting together a team for his training camp so that he can end this feud once and for all. He had his own fighting words saying, “after this fight he’ll just be James because there will be no more hype around him after I knock him out.”
The two legends of DJing haven’t set a date yet, but soon we’ll be seeing them switch from making people sing, to stepping into the ring.
