If the opportunity cost of a Deadmau5 EM was a Danny Howells EM... I'm not sure who I'd rather shoot in the face: Deadmau5 for selfishly playing a compilation rather than an actual mix (would have been too much to expect for him to put some thought and/or effort into the tracklisting), or Pete Tong for booking such predictable shit.

Doesn't matter if you like the tracks. There was obviously no effort put into this particular set at all.

also, joel/deadmau5, if you are still reading:

did you use the same live setup that you use in your live shows (monome, lemur, efx, djm800) to record this mix? or was it the sort of thing where you made some pancakes and then arranged some of your loops and hit render?

the videos of your live show are pretty good even if the music's not my thing - not sure what you're doing with the lemur - do you tweak your synths and do piano rolls with it?



also i have to say i am extremely jealous

maybe not for that exact crowd or venue but i would love to subsist by making music.

After reading this thread I'm passing the blame over to Pete. Since the show usually features someone who is primarily a DJ we expect a DJ set when you listen to the EM. Obviously if you ask someone who is primarily a producer to do put together a DJ set you are not going to end up with something comparable to what someone like Howells is going to give you. You are going to end up with a compilation and that is what we have here. That is why I don't call a painter when I have a plumbing problem. It's Tong's fault, or hell maybe it is our fault for always expecting the EM to be a DJ set. And I have to agree with mau5, if Tong calls I sure as fuck wouldn't say no to him.

from a video i saw of him it seems that he's doing a little more than deejaying, though


it seems like he's trying the live thing, and it is a fucking hard thing to do well, so you have to give some respect regardless of what you think of the music. though there is a lot of pioneer EFX lol





now, whether or not this is what he did for his EM is anyone's guess. i haven't listened so I don't know what it sounds like.

Of course...what I mean is...dropping a few other people's tracks in Live and playing them is not that hard.
