a+ vahid-ery. very depressing that anyone itt is trying to justify this shit tho, bring the hate people, come on (in this vein TIM HOLY GOD THAT IS AWFUL. I TRUSTED YOU.)

Waaay xpost here...I didn't think this thread was worth reading cause I've been over Deadmau5 for a long time but I'm bored and here I am.

i can see bassnectar being "all lcd" if you never regularly listened because you think he's all brostep and whatnot (and maybe he is all that now) but pre-that he was great funk + breakbeat party along the lines of the bassbin twins.

I can remember trying to point this out here a long time ago, before I was fully aware of Bassnectar's recent crappiness, and being hated for saying it. I don't know about his mixes or anything but the Yoga Tai Chi Parties at Cellspace were quite alright. Scoff if you must, but I'm pretty sure there was Chai tea there as well.

lol

a real moment, indeed

^^explains huge popularity

"ghosts n' stuff (knuckle-deep remix)"

Yeah, I suppose we can lock thread. If I knew it was all about being knuckle deep, I needn't have asked in the first place.

Now available in shoe form.

Scandal!

ATTN @Borgore fans- A good lot of you have been harassing our female employees; please refrain from this or you too will be banned

Had to look up what a hell a Borgore was and thus I laugh:

Borgore stated in an interview that his stage-name is a mixture of both his birth surname Borger, and the word "gore". Thus making Borgore.

i really really really wanna know what compelled whoever runs the 7-11 account to tweet abt deadmau5

As markers revealed on Facebook, though, turns out it isn't:

holy hell

e-(i as in "eye")-e-v-e-n, not e-(l as in luft balloons)-e-v-e-n

i thought they were both 7eleven and 7Eleven and it was case-sensitive and about to rage against bad software development practices

no joke

it's the old paypal vs paypaI trick

theres an appIebees acct too

Do you say this "Deadmouse" or some other way?

Thank you.

I saw Deadmau5 in Victoria Park this summer.

my condolences

He had a tune called Faxing Berlin a few years back which I really liked. It's not like he's that unknown - been all over Mixmag and things for months and months.

no one said he's unknown. i mean, read the thread title.

It's not like he's that unknown

Apparently he's catching on with a very youthful crowd!

h8 that 9-year-old

On a related note, where were the sweet electro-rave dance parties when we were that young?

deadmau5 is really mad at madonna for naming her new album MDNA

https://www.facebook.com/deadmau5

seriously, i giveth not a fucking single FUCK for slating on madonna for reaching an entirely NEW level of idiocy ... i can appriciate her meteoric career, and all good deeds done, but WHAT THE FUCK WAS THAT? That's your big contribution to EDM? Thats your big message to ultra attendies? hipsterspeak for looking for drugs? fuck off you fucking IDIOT. fuck.

yeah, i really kinda leeeeeeeeroy jenkins'd that shit huh... MDNA / Molly / MDMA / whatever .. something about a track? still seems the same to me, coz its still, in my opinion, unecciscary promotion of the shit that really held EDM down for years.

Now, weve taken EDM so far in the past decade, so goddamned far. It really hurts me to see rampant ADVOCATION of extreme bullshit lifestyles to a genre that spans pretty much any age gap these days. Of course, ill always have my opinions about this or that… and yeah, its my personal choice not to do drugs, but im not on a fucking crusade to stamp out other peoples personal choices by no means. fuck being a crusader. Im not pro, or anti drug… but… ill easily let you know that im pro-responsibility.

Why is everyone calling it EDM all I a sudden?

Of a sudden...

who put sand in his blou5
