deadmau5

[ogunslinger]

has anyone heard the new deadmau5 tune?


I actually listened to the whole thing and after listening to it I want that 9 minutes of my life back (joke?)


what do you guys think (production wise) - I thought it was ight before like 4Min mark.. or whenever it switched to dubstep?

[therook]

sounds like the usual deadshit crap. I just hope he doesn't put out his god-awful dubstep

[ogunslinger]

haha Well he put this on itunes already

[legend4ry]

Its really compressed so was kinda hard to listen too but the vocals are nice I guess..Ive never really listened to Deadmau5 before so I don't get what all the hype/anger is.

Overhyped electro house dj and the fact that he is in fact a total douche. Apart from a few tunes, I find most of his stuff rather plain and boring. As of recently, his songs of going more with the "strobe" type synth sound and they all just sound generic.

i like some of the new stuff of his he's been doing for minecraft and i raged when i saw he did some boc remix/remakes, but was pleasantly surprised when i listened

...Sure I'm not the only one getting a bit fed up of all this negativity towards established producers on here?
Keep it to the main forum at least. I know it's the popular thing now to bash [whoever] but it's disheartening to see it spread to other producers.

[ogunslinger]

I'm not bashing him in any way, deadmau5 is 100 billion million times better producer than I ever will be. I'm just asking everyone else what they thought of it, just because I didn't like it doesnt mean someone else wont right?

I was just saying, personally in my opinion i didn't think his dubstep lived up to his name, but thats why I'm asking others because maybe he was going for something that I don't like

I personally thought Raise Your Weapon was pretty dam good. I felt like the dubstep portion was a nice balance between heavy and emotional. Just me, but I always feel Deadmau5 makes good quality stuff, even if it's reaching for a mainstream audience, i feel it get's a nice balance between originality and what gets you paid.

[jaydot]

I thought it was ok. And people who say he is average...hmmm, listen to the likes of Arguru and Strobe and tell me then he is average.

[Crosby]

He should stick to what hes good at

[briskisgoodforu]

He should stick to what hes good at

And what is that? He seems to jump around with the genres. He started with minimal house, went prog., then electro, and now hes on to dubstep.

I know Girls who would immideatly have sex with him.. maybe even boys..

to be honest, random album title was a pretty decent release. it actually flows. not that i'm a big deadmau5 fan but still...

[tavravlavish]

hahah it seems so silly and or kind of arrogant to have a 4:30 intro that builds up and down and then drops into complete shit. It reminds of that one DNB group future sounds of London or London electricity (i forget what they are called I think those are two different group pick whichever one makes dnb) but they have this one song that has this dramatic long ass intro with like studio orchestra and female vocals and blah blah blah the whole works for like 5 minutes (get real your making fucking dnb why the hell are you trying to make this shit sound like... well whatever then it finally drops into some seriously bland dnb tune, I honestly can't understand it, if your gonna have a 5 minute intro you better back that shit up GOOD, at least when it comes to dance music, or not, I mean if your gonna have an intro that long don't make it seem like it's about to drop into some epic shit any moment, have it for the sake of chilling out and letting the idea plant its roots and experiment with itself.. dont have it be like 5 minutes of thinking "okay this intro is pretty sweet, I get the picture and I bet this is gonna be super tight when it finally drops" that is stupid. If you wanna listen to dnb that shares that kinda vibe but is actually quality put on some Tyler Straub, no 5 minute bullshit there straight to business, and the orchestra he uses actually sounds chopped and sampled (nice and proper!)

...sorry if anyone took the time to read that, what a stupid block of bitching about other peoples music when I should just keep it to myself. hahahah

i wasn't talking about a genre, this just doesn't sound good or his style at all

[kaiori breathe]

Never liked deadmau5s work. All of it just sounds very nothingy to me. Its like it has the sheen of corporate professionalism, but no actual content. Just TOO formulaic. Not a fan. Not a fan at all...

Why shouldn't we rip on him? As an 'established' producer he should have to live up to the expectations and desires of the listeners, otherwise he's just taking up space that could be filled by somebody more talented. It's the public's job to criticize music made by big names, if you don't you end up with shit. It's not like he's being bashed for no reason, there's nothing to be disheartened by, he's being bashed because he's just clearly not musically capable enough to be in the position he's in. Good production value, shit writing tech, everything he writes just sounds like the musical equivalent of a child's finger painting, except it's not endearing in any way.

Soundcloud

Definitely his best tune.

[stompzi]

very deep and meaningful. i wonder if he can push him over the edge of the cliff.

[skydroid]

I have to agree with you I like the tune 'till it gets to the drop. Thats always been my opinion of this tune .

[skimpi]

that tune is shit, i used to like deadmau5, like some stuff is alright, i liked strobe and stuff like that, but this tune just seems really long and boring and shit, then it drops into some fucking crazy shit thats even worse! it just doesnt fit as people have already said, and i hate the drums he uses on these dubstep tunes he is making, his hi-hats always have a really kinda live feel to them, then they are compressed to fuck, which makes them even worse!
