Um Hellooooo. I guess no one here has heard of an up and coming Dutch DJ named Tiesto? I expect great things in the coming years from him. He has practically revolutionized all we once thought and believed about EDM, especially Minimal and Techno.

I saw him one time when he did this underground production called Elements of Life. It was so smooth you almost thought all of it was prerecorded. I mean, the transitions happened while he was clapping or off stage. That guy's got talent.

as far as deadmau5 concern, those comments dont bother me.as long as he puts out quality tracks people will buy them.


The character of the artist and the work he produces are two different things.

I buy tracks I enjoy, but it doesn't mean I respect the artist. Like I told Bruce the other day I respect integrity, humility and work ethic. Should any artist exhibit such qualities as arrogance, dishonesty or disrespect...whatever leniency I had towards him will be lost.

QFT. Digweed's Hair even has a Myspace page. Notice that Sasha bowed out of the running finally.

Quoted from deadmau5's Myspace blog, 04Nov2008:

quote:
okay, im going to level with all of you here... much as i always have. regarding alot of crap flying around these days regarding some hack press in Ireland, more specifically, some lame crap i said about "DJ's"...

Over the past couple of weeks, ive never really had the desire to defend some tablotic / "juicy" press, but i guess im sick of hearing about it... so might as well explain what little i feel obligated to remove any static it's caused.

during an onsluight of phoner interviews in a single night, i do recall being asked alot of questions that i felt i really had no answers to... I honestly feel that the dance music scene needed a good bit of shaking up... sure, i bet there are thousands of people who will cling onto just about any written article and believe it to be fact. Well, wasn't really the case this time...

i could only have imagined people wouldnt read into it so much (let alone the interview wouldnt pick out all the stupid bits) and miss the point completely.

let me start by admitting.... i did not grow up in the EDM scene. I dont consider my career to be about "being a DJ". i dont have "DJ roots" . I never had any intention of becoming a DJ. and my conception of "DJ's" in general from this standpoint has always been... .. being forced into some nightclub when i would have rather stayed home, and watch some dood mash the "play / stop" button and occaisionally move a pitch slider. Love it or hate it.... that's just been my conception of the traditional "dj".

mind you, im not a total fucking idiot, and i recognize talent when i see it.... and there are many talented DJ's out there for sure. In my eyes, those would be the individuals who utilize technology to deliver the music in ways that are both skillful and innovate, moreso than my vision of the "play/stop/pitch" DJ. To me, the club is about "the party" .... the people make the night... the DJ obviously needs to use that to his advantage, it's give and take.

okay, to say "all dj's are...." etc etc, to be taken literally as this article did, was just painfully stupid and wrong on their behalf. So im not the worlds most eloquent person... any idiot can tell you that. But the meaning behind the statement was "the concept that i recognize as being a "disc jockey"....

now, i can personally guarantee that this blog post is going to fling right back into the ugly pit it came from... the message boards, the forums, the... well whatever.

see it as a fail attempt at correcting a wrong, or backtracking, or just being plain hypocritical, i really dont give a fuck either way.... this statement isn't for you fucking elitist fuckheads who have nothing better to do with your internets. This is for the the people who appriciate what im doing, people who enjoy music, and is meant to assure those people that my intent was not to insult or belittle anyone or any group of people in particular.

on hindsight, it's really amazing what a 3 minute phone call to some random irish news paper can do.... hell... that thing made about 12 laps around the world in about 4 hours. now thats impressive.

at the end of the day, the music plays on. And thats what it's all about for me... to interview me about anything other than music... is stupid. period.

Dude, even when he's trying to calm the waters he sounds uppity. I'm so glad he lowered himself to try and explain his earlier statement.

i blame the drugs

Posted by jonas on Nov-04-2008 23:26:

No. That's me.

How did DeadMoose even get into the EDM scene since he says he didn't have an EDM background. Kinda sad that people that been in the "EDM scene" don't have half as much talent he "had" Maybe he should do us all a favor and start producing R&B and let people who love Dj's and the music they spin not be bombed with his negativity....Fucking wearing a over sized mouse head on his face at shows. Now that is a fucking cliche and that almost makes him look desperate for fans to find a little nitch that makes him "Unique"...now that's a definition of a real ****. The same word he uses to describe this scene of Dj's.

Props to Dj Taucher who used to dress as a scuba diver on stage!!!

That's like asking me how did Greg Pasquerelli become New York's most famous architect, a CEO of SHoP (Sharples Holden Pasquarelli) in Manhattan without having any education whatsoever. Years later....I mean waaaayy later did the guy consider school something useful, and went on to study design.

now THAT, my friends, is evil.
