Deadmau5 @ Irving Plaza review
Venue:
Ok, thought it was kind of shit at first. Guidos, kids, douchebags, whatever. Some dumb shit knocked my overpriced drink out of my hand and was like, sorry, I dont have any money, well yeah, bcs you're twelve. Take off your ski goggles idiot. But,... as soon as Joel hit the stage, all was forgiven, and thank god they turned the lights down .Way too bright during Sleepy & Boo and BSOD.
Music: killed it. Dirty, dirty. So much so I think I need a bath. Joel, did you research NYC and know we like our dirty minimal? An amazing hour or so of all Deadmau5 originals but with nice dirty mini loops between them. Loved it.
Encores, two of them for fucks sake. Granted it was only 2:30 (damn you irving plaza). I really wanted to hear a non vocal version of Faxing Berlin for a sexy encore, but the tracks that were dropped (tiesto 
and then 'reward is cheese' was it?) were pretty solid.
Overall awesome night. The venue was iffy, but I appreciate it wasn't some douche bag club like Pacha were every other 'big name dj' plays but is only full of $$$ and wankers. Also, the goodbye USB stick, it has EPS and PSD files on it for shits sake, and Joel was loving the dude with the 3G iPhone. As a nerd my self (iPhone developer by trade) it's cool that the geeks can own as well. Looking forward to the next Deadmau5 NYC visit,
I said I wasn't going to drink
fcuk that!
Then I said I wasn't going to open up a tab
Hahahahahahha
This was awesome, I'm so glad I went. Leaving for Rhode Kill now. Smooches 
I heart everyone.
PS... Couldn't get into WH, wtf?!?! 25-30 bucks no way! Not for an hour. And then we tried to go to afterhours. Eff that too. I love Core, and I follow them around the city as much as I can, but 20 bucks to get in, kiss my ass 
Ahhhhh hostile drunk Erica.
one of the best nights i've have in a while. awesome songs dropped.. got there a little late.. deadmau5 absolutely teared apart this place, I haven't seen anything like it in a long time. from what i can remember from deadmau5's set..
arguru (id mix)
not exactly vs. voices
faxing berlin vs. the longest road
the reward is cheese
harder better faster stronger (awesome mix)
jaded
deadmau5 & kaskade - move for me (id mix)
not alone (deadmau5 remix)
tiny dancer (deadmau5 remix)
not sure what he closed with the first time but it was awesomeeeee.
very very very hot in there but its also very hot outside tonight in nyc.. also, the USB's were a sick parting gift hahaha
also.. i was very impressed with the lights and the stage.. awesome, definitely wasn't expecting that whole setup.
^^ oh you asshat you were there? I didn't see you. Bummer.
smooches
THE REWARD IS CHEESE!!
Ok enough of my drunk ramblings
Leaving for Rhode Kill now.
he also played Complications (Original Mix)
I absolutely loved the BSOD part, the music was soo raw it was great
what are the psd,eps files OF on the sticks?
Great job Sleepy & Boo!
Absolutely fantastic progressive house music, just what i needed.. wanted the IDs of so omany tracks the only ones I remember are Pryda - Pjanoo, Adam K & Soha - Twilight and some remix/vocal of What the Fuck
Great music!

Awesome night. Got there too late to see sleepy & boo open 
but i did get a chance to hear em play at some point (I dont remember when, after BSOD i think?) and they were excellent. BSOD were really good too, I specially like how joel would mix and the other guy would "scratch" or mess with it, was very cool.
And of course, Deadmau5 was fucking amazing. He played sooo many of his token productions... along with a bunch of stuff ive never heard before but were terrific, im looking forward to a tracklist and recording for this night (by the way, did someone say this event was going to be recorded?) I liked how he was techy/breakbeat and some points.
Best moment of the night: When Deadmau5 mixed the Longest Road vs. Faxing Berlin into HArder, Better, Faster, stronger (some remix) vs. The Reward is Cheese.

Ok, let me just start off by saying that after yesterdays set i have been so wrong about deadmau5's sets and whole dynamics/atmosphere. I thought everything was spot, from the BSOD set with Steve Duda to Joel's main set. My only complaint is towards the venue with the early closing time... kind of makes sense now that the question of when the night was over was constantly neglected to be answer. Regardless of that the night was just amazing and i was a 100% blown, i met a few TAs in person (will post pics later tonight) and generally had an awesome time. The advertising was also pretty insane(free t-shirts, as opposed to other guys who charge like $25). Im probably just rambling now... but i really have no words for how amazing this was and how glad i am that i went. If i keep hearing sets like these i think i will be transformed into a house head sooner or later. Loved Mau5's setup as well, wasnt a 100% sure about what exactly it was from where i was but i remembered seeing 2 XPCs 2 M-audio trigger pads ( i think) a Xone 3d ( i think ) not sure about anything else, but i cant wait to see the professional pics of the setup. Short version: Just wow, awesome night, great crowd, sweet freebies and lastly amazing sets all around. Pics and vids coming soon.
awesome! i wish i stayed until the very end and gotten the usb 
Thanks for the nice words guys 
Yeah, it was pretty bright...we didn't need that spotlight on us during our set LOL.
But it was fun playing and the crowd was awesome...I liked BSOD's set and Deadmau5 was just ridiculous. He's really turning into quite a performer and I'm looking forward to seeing where he goes with his music + set.
Was it hot in there or what? Woah
Can anyone upload the stuff on the USB stick for those who are unfortunate LOL
bottom line: deadmau5 was fuckin amazing, place blows.
