I’ll give you an example. When I’m sitting on a airplane right next to Paul Van Dyk, which has happened before, going to Ibiza, just because I make music and he makes music does not mean that I should talk to him. And I didn’t talk to him because I don’t give a fuck about him! I don’t care about this dude. Why would I? At least with urban music, they’re real, and if they get some beef, they talk about it. They say, “You know what? I don’t like what you’re doing and I think what I am doing is better.” People might think that’s a bad attitude, but I think that being fake is a bad attitude as well. In fact I think being fake is an even worse attitude because the repercussions for fake behavior have aftereffects for a long time. Whereas if you get in somebody’s face and say, “Hey, man. Fuck you. I don’t like you. You don’t like me, cool, peace, end of story,” the effect is that that two people know where they stand, and that’s cool.

Where did he say he didn't like his music?

He's saying he doesnt feel that just because they both produce electronic music and play records that he should be obligated to make small talk with him or engage him in fake conversations about "how much they have in common" or whatever. Because they really DONT.

See, he says James Holden sucks, I disagree, but at least he can back up his opinion, he has his reasons, and he's honest.

I agree with him that theres far too much ass kissing in dance music. It bogs down the scene, it makes for fake hype and unwarranted fanfare. It gives people false senses of satisfaction. If I made a shit record or mix, I'd hope people were honest with their opinions of it.

James Holden, as a live DJ, does suck.

Exactly. When was the last time you'd read an interview where a DJ or producer said s/he didn't like another DJ or producer? Granted, the whole EDM "scene" has a strong foundation in respect, non-violence, etc. (think 'plur'), but that doesn't mean artists shouldn't say, "Yeah, I don't like what he's doing."
