He's responsible for trolling the world so it's no surprise that Deadmau5 has shot to the defence of electronic music following some jibes from Arcade Fire (pictured).

The band's frontman Win Butler recently made comments on the first weekend of Coachella, having a dig at the amount of electronic musicians at the festival, saying: "Shout-out to all the bands still playing actual instruments at this festival."

Deadmau5 took it into his own hands to respond, defending his fellow electronic companions.

140 characters wasn't enough for what he had to say though, laying down the gauntlet on them even further, this time bringing opera into the equation.

Arcade Fire haven't yet responded, unsurprisingly.
