Don't know how many of you have heard of this guy but he looks like he?????????s becoming quite the big shot DJ, contradicting every statement he ever made about being a DJ in the first place. Shouldn?????????t say DJ (Producer) pfff. Deadmau5 looks like he?????????s getting quite a poop load of fans and has to wear a gigantic grinning mouse head to do so.
IMO The music isn't bad but it isn't great either. I use some of his older at play albums for mixing mainly because his music does the one thing that irritates the living crap out of him according to the interview he had with Paul Morley. Resolve after 8 or 16 bars????????? (If it doesn't it would be music in the first place) And it has a good random sounding beat kick snare structure. But it's so flat it has to be remixed before anyone will listen to it.
He wants to be something like a rock star composing all of his tracks using synth software live and blame other DJ?????????s for pre recording and just playing tracks. Yeah many DJ?????????s do that, I don't like it either but there's still no reason to get a hissy fit. As you stated yourself it's not supposed to be about the Show, but about the music played to the right crowd at the right time. Why only play your own tracks live?
I might be a fan if he drops the dipshit emo kid crap, eat a bit more and acted a bit more like he actually likes and respects the very music he makes.
