Faxing Berlin is certainly a nice track, that's all I've heard from Deadmau5. I don't know if it's good enough to warrant all the hype and whatnot but at least it's a good song.

I don't get all people who now refer to Faxing Berlin as "an average ASOT-track". Armin just picked it up and took away a bit of it's glory by doing that. I didn't hear someone complaining when Digweed was playing it back in November 2006. Of course it's overplayed now but you can still bring damage to the dancefloor with this one if you use it in a proper way.

I personally don't think he's overrated. If you check out some other productions of him, you will immediatly hear why ... Of course he's getting loads of attention now and it will be hard to come up with some original material now but I still believe that he can surprise us.

Btw, for the eleventh hundred time, it's the 5 refers to "S", which means his name should be spoken out as Deadmaus ...

Actually I had no idea armin played it, I just called it that because it sounds like the generic crap he plays on his show on a regular basis. To be honest I'm not surprised at all that he's playing it.

Faxing Berlin isn't a typical ASOT track, it's one of those more "acessible"/"easy-listening" (we can call it "cheesy" if we want to be dicks) tracks that start being played by the "cool" dj's and get popular enough to make its way into the "uncool" dj boxes. Zabiela ocasionally plays 1 or 2 of these in his sets, and it sounds good there among more "serious" music. ("damn", "this" "was" a "lot" of "quoted" "words".)

It reminds me of Pryda - Aftermath, altho that one was based on a ridiculous huge, long buildup, this one is more like a constantly running track.

Haven't heard any other tracks from this guy (Deadmau5).. Faxing Berlin is ok.

Originally posted by danj.l I am in this video, and this post is what id like to repeat. Deadmau5 blew us away. One of the top sets of wemf for sure. Deadmau5 has that sound i've & a lot of edm fans been looking for. He rocked my socks off in person. I am a fan for life. As a person he is a very down to earth guy and very nice. He did a set for us live on webcam with un-released tunes. Expect to see this guy blow up in the following years...the pvd of our time.

Hmm, I'm not entirely sure what to think of the 6 or 7 tracks I heard, it doesn't seem my style of music as I prefer deeper stuff, but really wouldn't dismiss it as unoriginal or generic..

After all, Faxing Berlin is a decent track. As many have already said, it works well as a transition track. If dj'ed I would probably make a 3-4 min edit of it and occasionally sneak it in if the moment is right. All of the hype just ruined it.

Faxing Berlin was good (not great or anything) the first listen. Then it got boring the second time. It just sounds very flat with no groove or funk and very computer-y (almost machine like) with that bloody kick that is just way too loud.

I don't really understand why it's called trance though, sounds more like tech house or something (which would explain why I don't really like it).

Perhaps you should consider switching genres and start listening to something like Tom Waits. You'll never hear machine-like sounds again.

Deadmau5 for the most part produces Progressive & Electro House. Only now people declare Faxing Berlin trance because it was whored out on Armin's ASOT.

Faxing Berlin is definitive a tune which cant be categorized. It has 4 sure trance elements, but also a nice housy bassline.

@ Mickey Mike

Is there a tune, who gets positive justice from you. All thread Ive seen so far you diss the tunes talked about. Tell me what you like

i totally agree. i love the bassline but its just hard for me to fully enjoy it.

Basslines + synths that make the hair on your nape stand on end.

I still wish someone in his $%@&* agency would email back a reply to a booking request!

Just heard "Something inside me", gotta love the vocals

anyone else heard Melleefresh & Deadmau5 - Hey Baby (Original Vocal Mix) yet, wow what a party track

Have you ever posted a positive comment on these forums? Ever!?

I don't recall ever seeing that ninja turtles avatar without an extremely derogatory comment next to it.

Grow up dude

lmfao

lol

this is fun.


for the record, im not really a big fan of Faxing Berlin. It just kinda seems to go on, and on, and on, and on... and so on. and so on. and so on. i like the cowbell tho. the cowbell is cool.

weird that this track is getting so much attention, i did it like... February '06. really weird how stuff happens.

i should probably update my website.

"weird that this track is getting so much attention, i did it like... February '06. really weird how stuff happens."

I agree. It is now getting "over-attention" to the extent that soon the track will fall under "most overrated of the year".

I hope Deadmau5 don't fall for the adulations and come up with something that's better than FB.

Tell ya what dude, that track has gotten a lot of attention by a lot of big names, and has been played in some pretty awesome sets. It wouldn't have gotten this attention unless a very large amount of people like it. I wouldn't be so quick to discredit that. You did a really good job with this track, as you've done with others.

When AVB or Tiesto uses one of DJ Mikey Mike's tracks, and uses his ninja turtles avatar as the cd cover... then maybe he can talk some more shit. Until then, I say he fucks off and gives you the credit you deserve.
