Deadmau5's anti producer CD gig rant

[regretfullySaid]

Dont forget to put a 'Wave' at the end of it!

(actually I kind of like the post-vaporwave mold that's been growing in my corner of YT and bandcamp)

[beats me]

The shape reminds me of the studio I worked at in the early 90’s where the owner went to great lengths to make sure there were no right angles in the recording room.

However, he also built it in an industrial strip mall and his direct neighbor was a machine shop so constant electrical surges and buzzes and the sound of metal objects being dropped on the concrete floor.

A virtual simulation of DM's new studio.

going by this, his next album is gonna be emo

Worked for Einstürzende Neubauten

I don’t know who that is but I want to assume they are German.

Deadmau5 is doing rap now

Oh I see, just another off topic post from starving "we play both kinds of music here: rap and hip hop" student



Sorry ss, you may have missed the reference. It's from a movie that hosted neither style of music, so you probably don't know it.

well that's intriguing on at least one level... I'd say the movie had to be soul man if I didn't know it was the BB flick

Yes, very influential noise, industrial, performance art band from the 80s and early 90s

The name is the program and it literaly means collapsing appartment buildings.
Hence the reference to the construction noise.

I had assumed among musicians they would be known.

But how can that be?
Why would you even?!
I mean, there was not a single mention of hip hop or rap in the whole film!

You must have hated that!

no time for that noise. during the 80's and 90's, metal was far more dysfunctional in the states... except for the ballads; during which the dysfunctional was more specific and dialed in.

[TomViolenz]

But it's not metal, like at all!

but whatever, what do I care what you know or don't know.

well my little grasshopper, hiphop is literally made of all musics so to love it is to literally love all musics..... or is it?

[starving student]

I'd love to know what music deadmau is not critical of though, everything I've ever heard of him liking he was still critical of.

[regretfullySaid]

Seems like most of his criticisms are about certain types of people or behavior, not the music.

[beats me]

He’s critical of producers not doing anything on stage. Even though technology could do 95% of the heavy lifting for them, they are still too scared, unwilling, or uninterested in doing that 5% that would make their set more than an iTunes playlist of their tracks. And he’s not critical of all producers of every level but of those who people are willing to shell out $50+ to go see. Too many producers bringing their F game to the stage masked by an epic visual show….which would be just as epic if they weren’t even on the stage.

[Pitch Black]

….which would be just as epic if they weren’t even on the stage.

Yup, this was my experience of seeing David Guetta close a European festival. 6 different kinds of confetti cannon, more than a dozen flamethrowers, at least the same number of lasers, killer lights and stupidly massive LED video screens all over the set. He was on a plinth 20 feet above the stage, with video all around him. The part I enjoyed least was the music.
