you know something though, in 20 years or something will you look back & be proud of what you've done. A one or two trick pony overall, and remixing tracks like cafe del mar, well, nobody has done that before have they? Seriously, it's obvious you're taking it all as a joke, and yeah, some people like it, but there's an awful lot of people who die a little more inside when they hear it. Those are the people who've spent all their money supporting artists in the past and present and will do so in the future. As soon as your sound becomes old to the rest of the people, and they move onto whatever fad is thrust upon them next you'll end up being nothing and if you want to survive in the business have to innovate your sound, but by then you'll already need a really clever new alias because nobody will want to listen to something by deadmau5 because it's trend following music by numbers. Why take the easy route when you could spend some time making a good career for yourself as a more respected artist, along the lines of Oliver Lieb, Quivver, Timo Maas & anyone who's managed to innovate their sound throughout the years and retain some credibility whilst doing so.

Do you have any heroes in the scene? Who did you look up to before you became successful?

This thread isn't about your music, its about putting some actual thought into a tracklist for an EM set that you know is going to be heard on the radio by millions of people. Dude I can get a CD full of your tracks and press play on it and listen to them one after the other any time I want we don't need an EM for that.

Pretty much what I said a few pages back.

But remember, anyone who criticizes any producer is just a jealous shut-in downloading MP3s while wanking and living in his mom's basement. I know that's what I am!

It seems that the majority of people in this thread are complaining for a rather silly reason. The Essential Mix is the same as doing any other mix in that it basically IS self promotion, whether it be as a DJ or as a producer. If Guy Gerber, Martin Buttrich, Daft Punk (today's Daft Punk, not the Daft Punk that did a rather ROCKING EM a few years back) or anyone else that does a "live" set did an Essential Mix the tracklist would be identical. That's what those artists DO, they play a "live" set of mostly their own tracks/remixes/edits what have you. Is that what people are upset about? Should Deadmau5 be billing himself as "live"?

Only makes an argument less appealing if you have nothing else to bag on than spelling and grammar in a music discussion thread. Get it?

i have seen every producer you just mentioned bas, and they do not just shamelessly whore their stuff. They play it sure, but they actually are pretty good dj's...something that can not be said here.

(minus daft punk...but if you get a bangalter set alone he does play other people's music albeit shittily.)

True that both Gerber & Buttrich play other people's stuff, but it's mostly their own. Especially Gerber. At Sunday School I think it was 90% of his stuff, half of which has yet to be released. That's not to say he doesnt' do a DJ set from time to time, he does do both. Stimming's RA podcast was all his stuff and it was magikal.
