Based on a Deadmau5 sample, an almost-great pop song ruined by a charisma-free singer.

s: "Not Exactly", "I Remember" (prefer the instrumental though maybe it's just because i fell in love with it months before hearing the vocal version), this gorgeous remix:

d: just about everything else, his more banging stuff indeed is competent in a very dull way
rate him more for his legacy than his actual output, which is:
- ushering in a new era of super melodic Anjunadeep-style progressive house
- kicking off this new dayglo cut-up dubstep-enhanced electrohouse thing that i'm so into right now

Let's ask the important questions here.

Nothing gives you a profile in dance music like obscuring a face or identity that no one would care about otherwise.

i guess this is sarcastic but i honestly don't know what the word "prog" means in relation to dance music. is that on some idm bedroom techno tip? i meant like actual dance music that people dance to.
― some dude, Friday, 12 August 2011 03:08 (twelve years ago) link
oh i dunno, maybe compared to a conceptual artist like moby?
― moonship journey to baja, Friday, 12 August 2011 03:18 (twelve years ago) link
you're certainly right though, some actual dance music is on the cool beat tips.
― moonship journey to baja, Friday, 12 August 2011 03:21 (twelve years ago) link
oops, i meant cool beats tip
maybe i should break it down for you. a lot of "hip kids" in certain high schools (maybe the sort where kids can afford to go to coachella), and when i say hip kids, i mean the sort of kids who are into screamo and go to shows are really into "dubstep". and i put it in quotes because it's a particularly abrasive variant of the sound. this is a bit of history repeating, as i can recall post-college, lots of kids who were into metal or industrial or post-hardcore were also into really tough, angry "drum and bass". on the other hand, a lot of kids in high school, and these might be your more "popular" kids, they are just into whatever mershy dance music is on the billboard chart. in a lot of ways, deadmau5 meets the two in the middle.
― moonship journey to baja, Friday, 12 August 2011 03:26 (twelve years ago) link
cool beats tips: don't be danceable
― BIG HOOS aka the steendriver, Friday, 12 August 2011 03:26 (twelve years ago) link
so like, hip kids like deadmau5 because it sounds like their hip dubstep music, and popular kids like deadmau5 because it sounds like the popular music of the billboard charts, and everyone wants to be hip and/or popular, so everyone listens to deadmau5.

there are also "trendy" "hipster" kids now who listen to things like MGMT and daft punk and justice, and they like deadmau5 too, because at times it sounds like that, too
― moonship journey to baja, Friday, 12 August 2011 03:31 (twelve years ago) link
prog means that dudes are always going to try to make some sort of "serious statement" collaborative music
same way you might call kanye "prog-rap", ig uess

Crossover with unhip tiesto prof and jam bands, tho

prof = prog
lamp was talking about the deadmau5 guy's personality/vibe, so i was comparing to other dance music artists. i feel like you're talking about dance music fans?
― some dude, Friday, 12 August 2011 03:42 (twelve years ago) link
I guess it's an electronica thing.

― moonship journey to baja, Friday, 12 August 2011 03:43 (twelve years ago) link
fair enough, it's pretty clear i'm never going to have an idea of what you're talking about so i'll stop pretending i can figure it out

though it distresses me to take diplo's side on anything, the latter most definitely.

Don't think the burner/jam crowd really go for Deadmau5. They love that Bassnectar asshat.
― errant flynn, Friday, 12 August 2011 16:52 (twelve years ago) link
thought i mentioned pretty lights upthread, i guess not. a friend of mine teaches high school drumline and all of the kids (who also go to jam band shows etc) freak out over them. listened to a track on youtube and it was corny as hell, but i guess it's about the eponymous live show.
it seems like the one artist who crosses over between the kiddie dubstep scene and the beat scene/critics/pitchfork etc is Eskmo.

was that bassnectar dig insinuating that he's somehow sooo below deadmau5 cuz that's lol
