Over the past few days, something awesome has been happening on Twitter. The King of Bhangra Daler Mehndi and EDM legend deadmau5 have been deep in conversation. Behold the saga of Dalermau5.
It all started with an innocuous tweet from Daler Mehndi.

And then something happened that no one would have ever guessed. Deadmau5, who is coming to India to play at Sunburn this year, tweeted a reply to Mehndi, asking him to hang out.

Daler Mehndi, who didn’t really know that deadmau5 is an international EDM sensation, thought he was just another fan and good naturedly said

Understandably, deadmau5 was a little disappointed.

Daler went one step ahead and asked for his contact details.

And then came the tweet that won the internet.
@deadmau5 Let’s raise our weapons and make this world do Tunak Tunak Tun.We can maybe catch up at your show and plan a gig.

Followed by an even legendary one.

And if that wasn’t awesome enough, deadmau5 put this up on his Instagram yesterday.
In fact, deadmau5 even said something that must have caused Yo Yo Honey Singh quite some heart-burn.
To be fair, I’ll take Tunak Tunak Tun over yo yo honey Singh any fuckin day of the week.
