that essential mix was def not the greatest but deadmau5 obviously has it in him if hes created this much success for himself. at least hes doing an essential mix...probably his one and only tho lol.

I'm not going to go into any detail because it's painfully obvious, but if you've read his posts, seen his video responses or seen the way he acts then you'd be able to tell.

They are only jealous on you and would like to have all the money and fame you are taking in the last months/year.


I still can't fathom how people genuinely believe stuff like this to be true.

No offense, but I kind of fail to see how making a funny joke video = huge ego/asshole.

I'm pretty sure making an essential mix of all your own tracks takes care of that.

It doesn't necessarily.

My impression is that Deadmau5 doesn't take any of this very seriously, so he likes poking fun at people who treat dance tracks or DJ sets as anything more than trivial doof-doof-doof music churned out to excite a crowd and then be forgotten within a few months.

I don't think he has a big ego. He just enjoys shitting on people who think of EDM as art or serious music rather than simple stupid fun.

Tiesto 2.0 imo


Posted by Guest on Jul-21-2008 22:06:

its really a waste of time to speculate what Deadmau5 is like if you dont know him.

But the tracklist is still atrocious. Tacky isnt even the word.

The Danny Howells Essential mix that dropped in Feb 07 was one of the most well thoughout and programmed sets I've ever heard. Its legendary amonst house heads. That sets the bar pretty high. Label/Arsist whoring is a kick in the face to everyone who's made an outstanding Essential mix up to this point.

pretty much. i can't say as i particularly approve of what he's doing, but at the same time i can pull back to reality and see things from his point of view (which is if he's having fun and doing what he loves then why should he give a flying fuck what others think), and in truth find some of the criticism on here a little OTT and cringeworthy; i'd probably be laughing it off if i were him. i mean fair enough it was a weak effort for an EM but it's not like he's desecrated some form of holy ground

as for 'shitting on people who think of EDM as art of serious music'.. well, lets be honest, they're an easy crowd to target. trance-heads have gotten plenty of stick on here for finding too much 'serious' in their music, or claiming it touches their soul in some superficial kind of way.. really this is no different. music enthusiasts often come off as nerds, and nerds are fun to belittle.

the problem here is enthusiasts not being open to other people's perception of their passion. i mean i don't personally like it when people write off my favourite tunes as trashy when they hold personal meaning to me.. but i don't cry about it, as i accept different people look for different things in music. likewise, people shouldn't cry when someone like deadmau5 obviously doesn't take EDM all that seriously.

^ Agreed.

This discussion is starting to remind me of this thread, "Trance isn't just music to me it's my life":
