So recently this week, two house music giants Sandy Rivera and Dennis Ferrer took it to the Twitter streets to punch each other out over who original owns the hit track 'Hey Hey' which debuted four years ago.
Mr Kings Of Tomorrow created flames on the social networking site by claiming that Ferrer stole the track and made it his own after Rivera gave it to him as a demo to review four years ago. Rivera came out on Twitter saying 'Dennis Ferrer was in my studio 4 years ago and I played him a demo called HEY! His face dropped to the floor. 3 years later he has his????' Off course Ferrer was livid, saying that Rivera was disrespecting him and couldn't understand why the accusations had to flight on Twitter, and on top of that, he didn't still steal from him. Ferrer went to the point of tweeting 'Sandy with all due respect…you're thinking too highly of yourself. I've never stolen or had the need to steal anyone's ideas'.
This fight was the strangest thing ever because what the public see with house music is creative peace and serenity and everyone smiling and working together; now Twitter has just exposed how much drama exists in the house game. And what's even weirder is the tracks don't even sound the same; the only similarity between them is the usage of the word 'hey', that's it. Rivera just needs to calm down. Here's the 4-year-old demo from Rivera and Ferrer's track, you guys be the judge. The is the demo version from Rivera is to your right on the page.
