It's got a nice fat club kick on every beat, and then hihats alternating? I'm pretty sure there's a snare on the 2 and the 4.
Also I seem to remember it having a Saw (or was it square?) wave bassline, very compressed. And I'm not sure about the Deadmau5 version, but I'm pretty sure the Bad Boy Bill one had some scratching in it...
lulz, that certainly narrows it down.

anyways, the Pon de Floor is certainly not Techno nor Electro, that's a dis to those noble genres. If it were to get a genre I'd stick it in with Ghettotech. Hilarious vid though

It has a high pitched voice sound that sort of bends at the end of every 4 measure. All i can describe it as is " ah ha ha ha ha ohhhh(bend down) ah ha ha ah ha ha oooaaah(bend up)
Actually that's a perfect description,

Major Lazer, Pon de Floor!
