Killing It: The Twerkpocalypse Edition

Miley, Molly, Guetta, golly! Plus Gina & Luke's baby, Nightwave's hate mail, and more juicy gossip from the EDM world.

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.

MTV BLEEPS OUT MOLLY DURING THE VMAS
We are trying to figure out why we can have Lady Gaga and Hannah Montana's ass all over the stage making us feel weird, but we can't even hear the word "Molly" when our grandmother is probably doing it with her friends at this point. Also remember this? Also, how many people are naming their kids Molly RIGHT NOW?

THE GREAT WALL OF TWERK
Because there hasn't been enough twerk talk this week at all, our boy Diplo is going for the momentum gold and trying to create and break a twerking world record at the same damn time. Apparently, he's recruiting hundreds of juicy-assed ladies to join his "twerk wall" on stage at New York City's Electric Zoo festival this weekend. Send him a video of you expressing yourself if you haven't done so already. Hopefully this will be the twerk session to end all twerking and we can all just go back to werking.

AND IF YOU HAVEN'T HAD ENOUGH…
In the same week that Miley Cyrus took over the internet and Diplo decided to make his name in history, the Oxford Dictionary Online added the word "twerk" (along with "selfie," "unliked," "derp," and "jorts") proving that, as Whitney Houston once speculated, the children are our future and that dictionaries are totally irrelevant now. On the same day, NY Post published an illustrated twerk dance lesson. Just give in. You cannot escape. You will come home and your mom will be twerking while making the Kraft Mac 'n' Cheese.

THE RIGHT WAVE
Last week, during the UK's Notting Hill Carnival, London DJ/producer Nightwave played at the Boiler Room and received a barrage of hate messages after via Twitter and email. Let's get this straight: some goofy-looking pizza-faced DJ dude can play off a controller at Boiler Room and it's okay, but when a talented and attractive female DJ actually mixes and stuff, she gets hated on from all angles. What do you guys even want? You guys are ruining your own lives.

3KINGZ

Blaq is back! The famed Baltimore club producer (who has been producing for M.I.A. in Los Angeles) is back and in the studio with Jersey club kings DJ Sliink and Swizzymack. No I don't think y'all heard us. Repeat after me. DJ SLIINK, SWIZZYMACK AND BLAQSTARR ARE IN THE STUDIO TOGETHER. Repeat: DJ SLINK, SWIZZYMACK AND… Okay. Now you get it. (Bmore club jokes)

UPCOMING COLLAB
The other day DJ Gina Turner tweeted "Preview of my next collab w/ Laidback Luke. Most exciting production yet!" with an Ultrasound picture of their upcoming release… a baby! We wish them the best. This is exciting news. We see a lot of pregnant yoga selfies in Gina's future.

DAFT PUNK PRESENTS TAYLOR SWIFT WITH AN AWARD AT THE VMAS
Without saying a word.

BORGORE AND PHARRELL ADDED TO AOKI WAKA TOUR
Just when you thought this tour couldn't get any weirder, Borgore and Pharell jumped on Aoki's wagon. The EDM world is sure full of surprises, isn't it?

DAVID GUETTA'S PLANE CATCHES FIRE BEFORE HIS CREAMFIELDS SET
We are in a really good mood today, so we're not going to make a tasteless joke about the King of the Dancefloor's ashes scattering over the UK.  We're glad Guetts is okay.

WAIT, DID YOU THINK WE WERE DONE TALKING ABOUT TWERKING?
"Get me and Mily Cyrus together so I could give her ass some lessons," proclaimed Big Freedia, New Orleans' Queen of Bounce. Freedia was offended by Miley and had some choice words for her in this interview with Fuse. When asked if she had any tips for the former Disney Channel star, Freedia simply replied, "Don't do it." Can we get these two together for a lesson please?
