Calvin Harris has spectacularly lashed out at the BBC after claiming that they took comments he made out of context and made it look like he was for pre-recording DJ sets.

The comment was aired on Radio 1’s Newsbeat and appeared to show his response to his views on pre-mixed sets which was: "I think it's not a problem. In the club you want to hear a produced piece of music, you want to hear the bass, you want to hear it as good as it can sound.

"I used to perform with a band putting all sorts of work into a live show and I can tell you that the reaction was worse than it is when I'm DJing."

After the interview clip was aired Harris received a barrage of messages about the comments and he took to Twitter to say: "Find the audio where i say "it's OK to pre-record a DJ set" it doesn't f**king exist, and i don't know ANY DJ that actually does that.

"F**king raging with this Newsbeat guy. I remember the interview and his stupid f**king question is it OK for DJs to play records.

"Then he'll change his question in the edit to is it ok to PRE-RECORD a DJ set and use my answer to a DIFFERENT QUESTION?!

"Release the audio ‪@BBCNewsbeat‬ and we will see exactly what was said, instead to stitching me up because u needed a bad guy in your "report".

Harris has now threatened the BBC with legal action after claiming that the broadcast was “libellous”.
