"lol" is just about the only thing I can say about this

And here I thought "Trouse" was a derogatory term used to make fun of the genre of music.

http://www.beatport.com/release/this-is-trouse-2/680244

I wanted to say something....but I'm already hated enough anyway

i am happy with that. i wish it actually catches on and that music gets categorized as that.it will help identify a certain sounds. i mean what is progressive house nowadays?

if a person said.. a dj is playing progressive house, you would need the name of that dj to figure out which kind of it he plays. What is the purpose to call something progressive house?

Does it fall on the house catagory? is it on the trance category? is it in between aka trouse? I think Beatport and the rest of record labels should come with more specific genres now.

Same goes for techno. almost any sound is labeled as techno.. but is it deep? is it more tech-housy? is it borderline to minimal? does it progress with peaks? is it acid? does it go to the harder side?

well i call trouse music anything that has pitch moduletion involved, even if trance sounds are dominant aka that armin song i posted before and Tech-prog house the something that has no pitch alter

hmm maybe i should provide examples

tech-prog house i would consider this:
Jaytech - Atlantic


Full Tilt - Take Me Away (Original Mix)



Tech-prog trance
Orbion - Reasons To Forgive (Original Mix)


i dunno, maybe after i educate my self better i will categorize them differently. anyone has any tips?

Trouse was actually coined by Matthew Dekay years ago and doesn't sound anything like the crap in that compilation.

Say it, not like you can ban yourself :P

I rather listen to Skrillex

a genre is hard to label nowadays..it's been derived in so many ways and everyone adds their own unique sound/touch that you don't really know what it is. even then, what someone might label as "minimal", another will call it "techno". very few that stick to the basics and it's simplicity.

On the techno side, it's fun to go through my tracks from two years ago and hear what I considered "techno".

Now I have to tag everything with Berlin/minimal/mnml/prog/acid/upbeat/dub/hard/detroit/dark/house and usually more than one.

Like Dusty Kid I call tech-house but also Luciano, and they sound nothing the same, but we simply lack the vocabulary.

Nickelback and GWAR are also "rock" music...it's not confined to electronic music.

P.S. Love both Dusty Kid and Luciano, though Dusty Kid severely disappointed me at Electric Zoo.

avicii says, "I can't play house for more than two hours."

This is pretty lame, and the fact that its coming from a pretty respectable label surprises me.

I always thought 'Trouse' was a name you used to make fun of tracks that fit a certain musical mold...and a not very good mold at that. Basically tracks that have those big, cheesy chord stab melodies.

Listened to the track samples too. The Rank 1 track is the only one thats listenable IMO. Kind of a sad state of affairs really...

I really couldn't agree more!

From Mr.C's fb and I quote:

Deadmau5 is a complete & utter wanker (now there's a surprise). So yes, he can count up to 4, but that doesn't mean the **** can mix. Also, mixing isn't about counting to 4, it's about selecting the right record at the right time to CAPTURE THE MOMENT in do extended long DJ mixes (beat matching) that make the tunes sound like live remixes. FYI Deadmau5, there's a magic that happens when 2 tunes are mixed properly together by a real DJ, & I don't mean by a software program as in truth, when a DJ sync's the bpm & tracks, the mixes aren't that tight & the magic doesn't really happen, that magic only comes when it's correct. Now you run along & carry on button pushing to play your cheesy pre organized shit to children in fluffy boots & stop bothering us adults all with your uninformed opinions & lies. FUCK YOU IN EVERY ORIFICE.

A little late to the parade. Hating on deadmau5 is soooo 2010

Strong words. Did Mr. C really use that last line? Or did you add that in there? lol

Either way, Deadmau5 doesn't produce 'Trouse.' Douche our not, the guy is a dance music genius IMO.

I didn't edit any part of that. I'm wondering what sparked the outrage..I'm assuming deadmau5 got caught spinning pre organized stuff..and if that's the case, idk how much of a genius you can be- you get no respect.

Most likely it was a reaction to one of Deadmau5's recent postings on Tumblr....

His lame ass Ableton pre-recorded sets can go to hell, but you're right; he is a dance music genius.

Listen to some of his (better) tracks. A lot of them are absurdly well produced and have absolutely brilliant chord progressions. It's a lot better music than a lot of what's out there today.

Strobe, Faxing Berlin, Aural Psynapse... a few others come to mind. Great songs.


Directly from Deadmau5's post on that blog:

All im trying to do, is put on my life jacket and swim as far away from this shipwreck as fast as i can. Because in all honesty, i just wanna be in the studio, making electronic music, and expressing myself by means of sitting in a comfy chair with my cat and my equipment� and of course, occaisionally strap on a foamy mau5head get on the road and press a few buttons for you guys

I think that's a pretty respectable way of putting it.

I guess you can say, you can't knock the hustle..

This was the follow up. It started with a Rolling Stones interview I believe.

I stopped giving a shit long time ago. I don't listen to this garbage, but to each his own. Kids and bandwaggonners eat this shit up on a silver plate.

^^ Seriously same here. The only reason I find out about these shitty articles and gossip is because fools here on TA seem to still care and follow a lot of trash. Just ignore it you will forget in no time that shit even exist.

in my days we used to bash on these foolness.. and don't forget , bad press is still press. let this articles/topics die outside this forum

About Mr. C... Thank God he's back on FB, I missed him! Speaking the truth EVERY. SINGLE. TIME.

Deadmau5 rants must be calculated though, I refuse to believe it's dumb luck. Look at how much attention he gets every time he opens his bitch mouth and he must be LOVING it. He just trolled every dj in the world and in the process put his name out there for everyone to know. If someone hadn't heard of Deadmau5 already, they went straight to youtube to find out who he was and now they do. Knowing the average American's taste, he'll sell a lot more records now! He doesn't need DJs buying his music, pfft. No publicity is bad publicity, even if every dj in the world hates him now, him causing this outrage puts his name in everyone's mouth. Isn't this how rockstars used to become famous (by their antics rather than their talent)? Welcome to America's EDM. If that's not effective advertising, I don't know what is. I just think everyone should just agree on NOT directing any energy towards this asshole. Him getting attention by trolling the intarweb = the terrorists have won.
