I haven't heard any Essential Mixes for about two years now. Which is a shame as I used to follow the show with great frequency. Mary Anne Hobbs and Rob Da Bank are always pulling out creative episodes filled with new and exciting music, EM's vision of dance music has changed (they need to realize this is 2008 not 1999).

Needlessly, a mix that is mostly made up of one's own material sounds pretty bland and boring, in my opinion. On the other hand, I would've adviced for a more eclectic roster. Prefuse 73, Amon Tobin and Clark are all under-rated musicians that would serve the Essential Mix and the BBC well.

Obviously you have not heard the oakenfold em.

The fact that he stopped/started these was far funnier

Stylz: Cornteeth5 alt?

entertaining thread for sure but the potshot at his gf..ouch. "Put your legs up for Detroit."

This thread is a joke.

Let's face it..even if Deadmau5 chose other people's tracks, and threw in maybe one or two of his own, there would still be an "I hated the Deadmau5 EM" thread..the complaint of him using his own music is a total cop out..it's just another excuse to spit out more bullshit posts, hoping that he'll retaliate.

"Faxing Berlin was okay...but OMG I'm sure he got the rest of his tracks on the top 10 charts on Beatport, etc."

(Again, just another excuse to create a thread)

I'm sure 80% of you that have posted negative feedback did it purely for shock value, keeping your fingers crossed that Deadmau5 would reply.

I would be doing the same thing he is. Laughing all of this off. Its not like people on this site dictate the direction of electronic music anyway, so why would he care?

What do you want him to do? Apologize for not playing what YOU (all 10 or 15 of you) wanted to hear? Did you really think Pete thought he wouldn't play some of his own productions?

And yeah, I've read it a dozen times in this thread.."we can have our own opinion, this is a music discussion form blah blah blah.."

I guess since most of you think his music is pure garbage..Armin van buuren sucks now (he's played a few Deadmau5 tracks live AND on ASOT),
Oh yeah, BT blows ass now, too, because he dropped "Not Exactly" at a music festival out here in CA last month.

I guess any other popular DJ that has ever played a track by him sucks now, according to most of you.

This thread reminds me of being in 7th grade again.

Well anyway, EM is always has been a good soup of different music for me. That one was just one steaming pile of rhino's tick shit.
