In a reddit AMA, user aedgar 777 proposed that 3LAU ‘is a joke’ and that Wolfgang would be the perfect man to ‘end his career’.
To which Wolfgang Gartner replied, “Thanks. Me too.”
The comments have since been deleted but not before 3LAU became aware of what unfolded. Unsure and hurt that Wolfgang wished an end to his career, 3LAU replied to Wolfgang and posted a response on his Facebook:
“not really sure what merits this statement, as you know nothing about me. But, for your knowledge, I’m a classically trained pianist, guitarist and vocalist so charlatan is far from accurate.”
However, 3LAU has since deleted his ‘comeback’ and the evidence given below appears to contain some dodgy editing… But as always you can check it out for yourself and let the whole thing blow over until the next nuclear DJ fallout.
UPDATE: Indeed there was some dodgy editing going on. Clearly, there is an asterisk next to aedgar 777’s post, which indicates an edit took place. Noone is to blame, except aedgar 777.
@3lau The post that @wolfganggartner responded to was edited to include you, it originally had nothing to do with you.

I would like to know the opinion of WG on that
Fuck Wolfgang … His live sets r average and he got a couple of songs and nothing more.
Wolfgang is good, but 3lau also has so much potential, and Wolfgang Gartner wont stop his career, hes just starting. His first ever release came one one of the best record labels in the world. Wolfgang gartner is a pretentious dick hahaha
I love Wolfgang and I don’t see why he felt the need to agree with one of his fans out of the ass comments, talk about no needed drama. Watch it all be a publicity stunt and then they release some mind blowing god like collaboration!!!

I think it’s hilarious that people didn’t see that it was edited, It’s kinda obvious. Thanks, me too isn’t exactly the correct response to that grammatically.

Not sure if Wolfgang was trolling, but even if he was 3LAU just slaughtered him with his response…

Just gonna point this out to everyone… But Wolfgang has worked with Deadmau5, Skrillex, Kill The Noise, and Feed Me…. And is doing so again very soon.. That company alone and the weird editing going on should show this guy was starting shit on purpose… I love 3LAU but in my opinion these two Dj’s in particular are in two very different area’s of their career with blossoming talent and a very proven and well established producer. I give justin props for sticking up for himself with the truth but that david vs goliath thing would have me worried in that position honestly.
I fucking hate Wolfgang with a passion he is such an asshole. 3LAU is taking the EDM scene by the horns and he isnt letting go, and 3LAU is right one day he will 1-up on that silly fuck of an old man. Let’s be honest when was the last time Gartner made good music? And his podcast is called Kindergarten radio like how mature is that…looks like that silly old fuck needs to gain respect for the younger generation. You got this 3LAU.
I don’t understand. We always say that we have to give oppurtunities to new, young artists in EDM scene, then we try to “flush them into the toilet”. 3LAU has already done good productions. Older DJs should give an hand with their experience. Here I see only an immature Wolfgang that is trying to destroid a young man career. I wanna be honest: 3LAU is not one of my favourite producer because I think tha he have to improve, but he has good skills that will help him. 3LAU don’t stop.
