The Mau5 was THE poster boy of that 8th note house (the stuff which Kaskade used to make and Adam K still does) and switched in the space of a few months to electro, never to go back to that old sound he was so damn famous for and made his name on.
in fact he's one of the clearest examples of someone changing their sound.
Gartner changed his sound for money. Pure and simple. He realised that he could go from selling a couple of 1000 tracks on beatport to getting paid $100k for a couple of hours in Vegas, just by putting out some stuff that 30k millionaires and their umpalumpas could fistpump to. |
Mau5 still makes the fluffy progressive house. The first track in ASOT 560 was him... |

| i loved some of mau5's prog stuff but i always felt he was overrated as an artist, his tracks are finely produced but musically have very few to share. |

True that - I stand corrected, but I'm pretty confident it's the very rare exception for him nowadays. He really did abandon that sound and the vast majority of his body of work has been electro ever since.
I liked his 8th note prog stuff a lot, and even his earlier electro stuff but when it got a bit too high pitched and heady I tuned out, but that's just personal taste, and I can't deny it's well made, even if it isn't my cup of tea. |

| we're so aligned, I still respect his producing skills, but just don't like his recent vibe |

listen to BSOD, he was electro before he was prog. WHat the the is 8th note house ? Deadmau5 has made way more electro in his career, in wasn't a sudden change. ANd he still has a sound that perhaps different is a natural progression. The change gartner made was night and day. |

It's exactly what it says it is. That 8th note house sound. Sheesh, do keep up. I mean everyone else knows what I'm talking about :p
He's made way more electro as he's been more prolific in recent years as he blew up.
Listen to random album title 2008, then for lack of a better name 2009 and tell me there isn't a sudden difference. From 2005-2008 he was known for one sound, then since 2009 it's been something completely different.
I actually think it's ing clever - he could switch back to doing prog now that everyone has jumped on the electro bandwagon.
Joel, what are your thoughts on this? :D |

he is consistent. YOu cant tell it is him. He was making electro in 2006, and he made the trance stuff. He did not change his complete aesthetic over night. Garter did. i mean over night. he made one style, then this. There is nothing about it that would suggest it was him.
Listen to redline, what the . ANd no, 8th note house is note a term one should use. It suggests one knows about music theory.The reason these tracks are awful is that they lack the key ingredient in any dance track , the back beat.
And deadmau5 did well because he had a brand. Changing your style over night when you are already being touted as one of the best cutting edge producers is just stupid. He could of still djd anywhere and not made this kind of .
And it won't see as much as you think. If you want to sell enough to really make a difference ie make enough to prostitute yourself, you need vocals. You can't be mainstream and not have vocals. |

Eh? he's been consistent in that he's kept doing well and his productions have kept a good production standard but you'd have to be deaf to not to hear the change in his sound from one type of music to another? It's not difficult to identify what era a mau5 track came from by listening to a 5 second clip of each one.
And 8th note is the only real easy term anyone has ever used to describe that house. You may not like the term, but I don't like scrambled eggs therefore I don't order them but it still exists.
It;s better than the alternative of just lumping it in with prog house. |
