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

prog means that dudes are always going to try to make some sort of "serious statement" collaborative music

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?

I guess it's an electronica thing.

t/s deadmau5 vs MOOMBAHTON
though it distresses me to take diplo's side on anything, the latter most definitely.

Was curious about this outfit too, given his/their placement on the Lollapalooza poster.http://www.digitalmusicnews.com/uploads/f7/42/f742572d02112c8fe47c02b811841876/lolla1.jpg

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

Yeah, totally!

pretty lights >>> deadmau5 > bassnectar

deadmau5 has like one memorable jam and a ton of LCD shit. bassnectar is all LCD.
― moonship journey to baja, Friday, 12 August 2011 19:27 (twelve years ago) link
I think Deadmau5 is exactly where I draw the line. If you are better than Deadmau5, I fuck with you. If you are worse than Deadmau5, fuck outta here.

checked w/my 15 year old music geek friend abt this thread and he thinks Deadmau5 is "OK" but really what he digs is Skrillex.
― sleeve, Friday, 12 August 2011 20:10 (twelve years ago) link
Skrillex is p much the worst shit ever.
― The Reverend, Friday, 12 August 2011 20:47 (twelve years ago) link
Skrillex really is entirely bewildering to me.
― ha ha ha ha jack my swag (boxedjoy), Friday, 12 August 2011 20:51 (twelve years ago) link
Bassnectar? moar liek Assnectar amirite
and yes, Skrillex is the worst (QED)

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.
"all lcd" is flat out nah
― fauxmarc, Friday, 12 August 2011 22:10 (twelve years ago) link
wherein i've seen absolutely nothing redeeming of deadmau5. i don't know the grown up frat-bros at the porn company i used to work at in south beach would not stop talking about him.
― fauxmarc, Friday, 12 August 2011 22:14 (twelve years ago) link
...i actually kind of want to be proven wrong and want a good deadmau5 track or mix and i browsed through thread and if that generic "faxing berlin" is really his finest moment i'm totally at a loss as to how anyone is deadmau5 before anyone
AND THAT IS WHAT I FEEL ABOUT DEADMAU5
Q.E.D.
― fauxmarc, Friday, 12 August 2011 22:18 (twelve years ago) link
fauxmarc, are you talking about Underground Communication-era Bassnectar? listening to that on Spotify now
― CLUB PISCOPO (DJP), Friday, 12 August 2011 22:20 (twelve years ago) link
the opening to DeadMau5's "Some Chords" is nice but I'm expecting it to be ruined any second
― CLUB PISCOPO (DJP), Friday, 12 August 2011 22:21 (twelve years ago) link
"Some Chords" got predictable but I am definitely enjoying it
would never buy this tho
― CLUB PISCOPO (DJP), Friday, 12 August 2011 22:23 (twelve years ago) link
dunno, i wasn't really buying stuff back then just going out to parties, he was playing out a lot. i remember more than few good times at buzz nation in dc - by sheer timing he also happened to be the main act of their last night before being shutdown to make way for the stadium.

so wait fauxmarc you're comparing him to bassbin twins but he's not lowest common denominator music?
― moonship journey to baja, Friday, 12 August 2011 22:46 (twelve years ago) link
i am probably ilm's biggest bassbin twins apologist to date but party breaks is pretty unambitious music IMO
― moonship journey to baja, Friday, 12 August 2011 22:47 (twelve years ago) link
Do they still call it "nu-skool" breaks?
I bet Freq Nasty has frequent nightmares about Bassnectar.
― errant flynn, Friday, 12 August 2011 23:06 (twelve years ago) link
every old is nu again
― moonship journey to baja, Friday, 12 August 2011 23:32 (twelve years ago) link
when done right and it's not like baby anne or someone party breaks are hardly lcd - though i recall bassnectar having a bit more of a nu-skool (!) sound than bassbin - he participated alot in the breaks forums on tribe.net when that was popular.
a good breaks track party or otherwise can be "unambitious" maybe (especially considering most classic genres can be thought of as such now in comparison to what's going on) but it'll still have hits and syncopation and whatnot that your average citizen can't really mess with from a dancing perspective, while bboys/girls and house freestylers alike will thrown down quality footwork on it.
i know approaching dance music criticism from a live dance context is weird and all (not being snarky) but there it is. i'd say breaks are actually the furthest thing from lcd just because there's nothing for most people to easily steadily fist pump, head bang, or shuffle back and forth to. in which i reveal my crackpot theory i wax over every day - i think full-on breaks parties died out (in the midatlantic at least) because technical dancing died out as things get less underground and the "i'm just out to drink and be part of this cool event" demographic explodes over he decades.
wait, what, wah
