LYDIABANK

why do people detest the poor chap?

R.Shackleford

LYDIABANK

im going to see him friday......:P

ED E

I dont see what the whole cringe factor with the Mau5 is.

This is me:


Kinda says it all.

He gets similar stigma to DJ Ti-Testicles-esto but I'm not sure why. Maybe its cause he's a little more mainstream but hey, so is FBS!

ED E

The Burrrrds love it. But you sweat like a b1tch.

LYDIABANK

the birds love it until you take it off..and then they are met by a sweaty pig! love strobe

Chloroplast

well putting a big stupid mouse costume on your head at gigs in order to entertain people just goes to show what his music does for people... :rolleyes:

LYDIABANK

its probably not even half the time :rolleyes:

Chloroplast

yup,

i was gonna say hes a mockery to electro house...but then again electro house is a mockery to electronic dance music itself :P

im gonna get me head kicked in now for saying that,

LYDIABANK

He's progressive house, not electro-house.

People don't like him because he has one of the worst personalities in the DJing world, and because his music is repetitive, commercial and uncreative. So basically, the same reasons why people hate Tiesto.

Scubadevils

Funny actually, don't think I've ever heard one of his tracks... I assume I'm not missing anything though.

seannash

ah to be honest his music isnt terrible.its proggy electro house stuff and its no different to all the other proggy elecrohouse artists out there.

hes not the best at it by a long shot,id rate dabruck and klein way above him but he's accessable.

if you ask the average person who listens to dance music but doesnt follow dance music if they know him and they probably would.

hes the gateway into that genre.

hes the equivalent to david guetta really.

hes fun to bash because he thinks hes ridiculously talented when hes just average compared to the others out there

That'd be very unusual....

People complain about the mask but I think its like any other piece of visual kit. Its novelty yes, but so what. TBH orbital look far worse in those yokes they wear.

I concede the attitude bit though. The video of him at some award ceremony where he comes for his third award and is completely plastered is just cringe.

Well maybe I've heard him without knowing it was him but that's unlikely as I don't really go clubbing, never listen to the radio and have no mates who are into dance music - only electronic music I hear is pretty much chosen by me!

I think the mask looks stupid BUT in fairness Redshape also wears a mask when performing but I don't let that put me off his music.

There are probably more, but you get the idea.

Question, if I mentioned the hairy french guy what would the reaction be?

How do flashlight glasses look worse than a stupid mouse head.
And most people took a disliking to him when he came with this ****:

At the present moment are you not recording, not on tour and have you never had a song go to number one on Beatport? Have you never been featured on Juno Download or Track it Down, have you never released twice, but what you do know is that you've been listening to electronic(a) for many years and you have every right to speak your mind against the fabricated music that is being released on a daily basis. It's absolutely appalling! Do all these people think that if you're on the Beatport Top Ten that you're making something out of yourself, well they're making a mockery out of electronic music. Are you a producer and do you come from the underground? and are you ... Quite frankly, sick and tired? Are you here to go on these rants on message boards because you know you ill never amount to anything and you need to make yourselfself feel better. So when you're not high on cocaine will you sit in front of this computer 'till the cows come home and continue ranting and raving about artists that are actually living out their dream 'cause you never wïll

Yep... I lost what little respect I had for him when I read that.

To me, he just seems to be the posterboy of a musical trend. The dust settled and people moved on to the next big thing (dubstep?), and all we're left with is some Canadian with a stupid mouse hat

Hmm, I don't think many people who liked Deadmau5 now like dubstep, in my experience a lot of people have gotten into dubstep from outside dance music, and the people who liked Deadmau5 have now moved onto Dubfire, Umek etc.

eeloe

I actually really like Deadmau5, think some of his tracks are great, some of them, i wouldn't be in to so much, but sure i don't like all of Nirvana's tracks either, but i'd still rate them in one of my top ten bands!:)

He's great at what he does, he's earning a very good living from it, and he'll continue to do so for some years, more power to him!:)

tman

I'm talking about people who listen to the current in thing... Chances are they only listened to maus because he was the cool thing to be seen listening to, and they've now moved on to dubstep (the tepid shíte end of the genre, of course...)

and all the kiddies love it and apparantly anyone who doesnt is a hater

Zascar

I liked him when he first came on to the scene before every nacker in the country had heard about him. In fairness his stuff then was pretty good I had a lot of it - but after a year or so just as he started getting big, everything else he put out was very 'samey' and I stopped listening to him after that. I have nothing against him really, I say fair play for using the mouse head to gain exposure and turn himself into a product that can be easily marketed - I think he did too much too soon though. He sold out to the masses and is making a fcuking fortune - might not be everyone's choice or taste but he's very successful.

ED E

How did i miss that interview.

New trqc out today BTW.

I can see his fans moving onto Umek as he's doin the electro sound right now,
But couldnt see them moving onto Dubfire who is more towards the minimal sound and not commercial at all.

copeyhagen

dubfire was a far cry from commercial in timewarp

In my experience most people who start with commercial dance, be it from the Deadmau5 end, or the Justice end, or any commercial side of dance, will grow out of commercial and get into proper music. So the old Deamau5 fans are now into minimal or tech-house, and the old Justice fans are into proper electro-house and house. That's what happened to me anyway! I used to only know Justice, Daft Punk, Boys Noize etc, and now hate that sound, and spend hours every day searching for the newest house releases!

Ouch my eardrums hurt.

Deadmau5 went from making some alright kinda average productions to making below average commercial productions. In short he blows.

Try something with a little more artistic merit maybe?

Been listenin to a lot of Yura Moorush again lately, lots of my friends that arent into dance music really seem to appreciate his music.

He has always made ****. Sounds like you jumped ship when you saw his popularity rising.

ironclaw

Have to say I do like him. But I'd be pretty selective about his tracks. I'd agree a lot of his stuff is the same even at a core level. Plus he has one HUGE ego. Ever read his FaceBook / Twitter ramblings? :rolleyes:

But I suppose he gets some Kudo's as he plays live from Ableton and the likes.

billybigunz

What does he get from Kudo?

You've done it again! :-)

Have to laugh at all the "proper" music references in this thread as if liking "proper" music, whatever that is, makes you better in some way.

Is there intellectual merit in liking certain genres of music? If there is, I'd love to see your scientific proof.

Or are you basing your argument on heresay?
