Reark Controversy
In early 2012, UK producer Reark posted a loop to Soundcloud entitled "Natalia's Song" he claimed to have written in 2007. He later posted a YouTube video demonstrating the track laid out in Reason.. Reark had already reported copyright infringement in August 2011 to both 4AD and Zomby, and 4AD responded by co-crediting Reark on the single in late 2011
Zomby is a highly prolific tweeter. His vitriolic, but ultimately aimless rambles, have gained him a cult following on the social media service. He regularly claims that he will close his Twitter account, saying things like "I will kill this" and that "Its long", but as of yet these threats have not been acted upon. He has had several high profile Twitter feuds with other producers, including Damu and SBTRKT (who he describes as "entry level").
