I for one am intrigued, I really wonder what this may sound like. I've always loved B2B with DJs each playing their own, but feeding off each other and trying to be unique while complementing what the other is playing...
People scoffed at the idea of Jamicans Bodsledding... yet, we have Cool Runnings. This could turn out well. |

| If Deadmau5 is gonna be playing techy/minamal stuff, then he should be advertised as performing as Joel Zimmerman |

I know, but it's gonna alienate the neon kiddies who expect him to play in the same vein as his albums, unless he's seriously considering to change his sound altogether. |

The real problem here is that both those names have infiltrated SXSW.
Leave my indie rock alone. |

| Seems to me that this is a gig designed to expose Mau5 fans to more legit music. Many of his followers go for the image, so this is a great opportunity to bank on it and slide some more credible sounds onto their plates. Richie's goal with the CNTRL tour was to expose college age kids to the less glammy side of beats and this seems like a great platform for continuing that mission. Sure they'll both get paid, but neither one of them has to worry about their bank accounts in the slightest, so jumping on that assumption is pretty weak imo. I'm not a fan of either of their sounds, but rather than complain about the schism in "EDM" like everyone else, they're using their positions to do something to bridge the gap. I think it's great that they're doing this. |

Agreed. After being involved in the London event, it was quite clear the change of attitude on what "good" electronic music is. There was a huge gathering for the seminar where there wasn't enough seats and people had to stand, the show had 800 through the door, and now I see many young faces coming to events with "underground" djs. I would say a change of 30% of the previous commercial crowd has converted fully, 30% go to both types of shows, and the remainder are still stuck in the SHM.
Last week when Victor Calderone played in London we had a solid 400 through the door. Crazy vibe and I would say 70% were students and they are true fans (not just their for the party type). I guess the only thing that sucks bout something like this is the longer wait for drinks at the bar LOL |

its good to hear the kids are being exposed to better sounds, and they are not going just for the party...
It'll take time, i think most ppl get into a new genre of music by listening to the main stream stuff... thats how it was with hip hop in the late 90's if im not mistaken...
not everyone can jump right in and start listening to the "harder" side of electronic music... |
