FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
LONDON—International music conglomerate Hyper-Aesthetic Records today issued a formal statement regarding the ongoing electronic music feud. The label officially addresses the Bassvictim Ike Clateman Apologizes campaign. Clateman previously claimed that Australian artist daine begged his band for a remix of the hit single "PQC" and offered massive stacks of cash. The label now retracts those claims with extreme enthusiasm.
A Highly Structured Apology
"We value synergy and disruptive vibes above all else," said Marcus Bellweather, Senior VP of Playlist Emotional Intelligence at the parent label. "When our artist claimed that daine was desperate, he spoke with unauthorized passion. We apologize for this synergy deficit. We are thrilled to announce that both parties remain highly marketable assets."
The controversy started when Clateman boasted on Instagram Live. He told fans that daine's team repeatedly begged for his creative services. The Australian singer, who will soon release her debut album In Endless Awe & Agony, quickly shut down the rumors in the comments section. The sudden development forced the label to initiate the formal Bassvictim Ike Clateman Apologizes protocol to save upcoming festival bookings.
The Official Boilerplate Retraction
"I never meant to diss them," Clateman stated through a corporate spokesperson. "My brain operates at 160 beats per minute. Sometimes my mouth speaks faster than my legal team can approve. I respect daine and their fiscal discipline."
About Bassvictim: Bassvictim is a London-based hyperpop duo. They specialize in blown-out basslines and brief internet controversies. The band has never actually met daine. They do not know how to handle money. They currently operate out of a shared studio apartment that smells heavily of damp cardboard and energy drinks.
