I don't understand. Why would a sellout who's only gimmick is being a walking meme abandon 4 million fans? Does he actually believe that he has musical integrity and that fans will appreciate him for his generic 4/4 doof alone? That discerning afficianados will seek his recordings out purely on artistic merit?
Deadmau is going to abandon his fans while he works on a new project and tries to be an underground house meme
>>61166073
1. he can afford to
2. because he wants to
3. he actually knows his way around a turntable and will likely produce some god-tier music now that he doesn't have to pander to the EDM crowd
It's slightly ironic that his follower base was 4 million, what with the 4/4 thing.
>>61166297
Fuck off deadmem3, you're too old now and without your stupid head you look like a skinny old faggot. Kids don't want to hear that 90's house shit any more face it, you're washed up.
>>61166297
>implying anyone has given a shit about anything he's made in the last 5 years
>>61166073
well hes scoring a movie, thats what the new studios for, and he will probably end up just making some ambient experimental shit like he wanted to in the first place now.
>>61166073
that pic
a fucking retard wearing a giant green mouse helmet/mask
From what i have gathered he clearly hated the current form of electronic music and the people involved and the fans.
Loves making money off it though.
jew.
>>61166488
Oh wow such integrity. Fucking sellout jew.
>>61166868
ya k u sound really dumb
He's actually a really good musician/pianist. He's proven he can write some pretty decent stuff that isn't his normal 4/4 beat stuff.

>>61166964
Holy shit could that be any more generic and nondescript? It's like listening to incidental music from a TV drama.
>>61166221
yeah, he's gonna create an alter ego I think
not sure it's a great idea from a business perspective 2bh
>>61168593
it is if hes bored of Deadmau5 and wants to do something new and challenging. he already made millions and is set for life. he can do whatever he wants at this point.
>>61166073
What, so people hate deadmau5 now? Figures. Never change, /mu/.
>>61169196
>people hate deadmau5 now?
only the new friends hate him
>>61169249
>only the new friends hate him
Yeah. I mean don't get me wrong he's got some duds on some of his albums but it looks like the people in this thread are all "he sux 'cauze he dun solded out 2 Microshaft!!!1!" and going downhill from there.
>>61166073
Doesn't matter anyway. The only music I like by him are the collaborations he did with Kaskade and somehow I feel there's more Kaskade than him when listening to them anyway.
Also deleting your Twitter when you have Facebook, Instagram, and a snapchat doesn't mean shit. Most people who have one of those social medias usually have another anyway.
>>61168593
Here's his new alter ego. Instead of playing doof he'll play jingles on the organ.
>>61166073
>sellout

Post-gimmick Joel:
Sorry sir this area's for VIPs only
>yeah it's OK you know me right?
No sir sorry please step aside
>you know *doof doof doof* *mimes big ears while doing an xP face*
What, mickey mouse? SIr please move aside.
>no you know, take a look at your list I'm on there deadmau5
Deadmauf? Nope can't see any deadmauf on here.
>No no, deadmouse, spelled with a five
Sorry sir if you don't move aside I'll be forced to eject you.
>*sigh* *puts on mouse mask*
Oh it's you. Fuck off.
>>61169590
>doof
maybe he'll switch to untz
>>61166554
>implying you wouldn't do the same if given the opportunity
Avaritia was a good album
anything that's 'deadmao at play' is shit
hopefully he's gonna put his new analog shit to good use
>>61166073
Joel has autism
>>61171370
I certainly wouldn't complain about it like he does.
>>61169196
He's done a few live performances for normie reddit crowds who wanted upbeat avicii music where he 'trolls' them by doing something dumb in response
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OwM_eBAnUQ0
Not his finest moment but the redditors complaining about the music not being appropriate for the situation are even more stupid
He probably wants to create a new tech house/techno alias, but is scared that it won't make him money and won't be able to get new cars lel
That's his struggle
>>61171371
>'deadmao at play' is shit
You know why?
The bitch that used to manage him (Mellefresh or whatever) took all his old music rights......"Random Album Title" plus all his demos at the time. It was a screwjob to release him from contract so he could go to a label.
She regularly releases all those old demos and mixes in "Deadmaus At Play" compilations to screw money out of him now..
It's one of the big reasons I think he's considering dropping the name, so she can't use it anymore maybe?
>>61171417
testpilot you mean?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UqaKL2TKkhQ
>>61171481
I wonder if they ever fucked.
I
>>61171500
yeah I think he either wants to:
-do more testpilot
or
-make IDM/glitchhop
He just doesn't want to sacrifice his richboi lifestyle
Joel needs to drop the genre defining American IDM epic that blows EDM out of the water and totally changes the dynamic of popular electronic music.
And get a 10 out of 10 from p4k.
Also instead of calling himself deadmouse he will now be /Z/
But he wont cause he a pleb
>>61171417
Its not like it hasnt been done in other genres, radiohead, the beatles, started out as pop band and get increasingly experimental, it can be pulled off.
>>61166964
nothing wrong with 4/4 - especially in dance music, christ. most of the stuff in crazy time signatures sounds kind of cheesy/wanky.
00001 needed some substance, 00002 is neat
>>61171656
i think they meant four on the floor. people mix the two up all the time. that track is in 4/4 anyway
go to bed joel
It must suck to be a walking gimmick and human billboard.
>original meme do not steal
>>61166297
>and will likely produce some god-tier music now that he doesn't have to pander to the EDM crowd
I don't understand this shit. He can make whatever music he wants. If he was making by-the-numbers EDM it's because he chose to. The artist she was saying something similar recently like "it's was so refreshing not working on basic kick-snare-kick-snare 4/4 pattern on my new album! i hate EDM right now" like nigger you didn't have to make music like that in the first place if you didn't want to ???
>>61171544
that would be great but i doubt it will ever happen
after electronic music finally hit the mainstream and it was only boring club bullshit that anyone gave the light of day i gave up on good electronic music ever being recognized
>>61172645
Right now "EDM" is in its hair metal phase, soon all the frat bros and dumb sluts who go to edm festivals will grow up and have kids and then the parties over.
There is bubbling underground of people right now who are demanding less mainstream electronic music.
It is only a matter of time till a electronic kurt cobain comes around and changes everything
>>61172685
DOOF DOOF DOOF DOOF DOOF DOOF DOOF DOOF DROP DA BASS
>>61172685
lad there's a whole other underground music dance scene. in fact it's the mainstream edm that's the outlier - dance has always been about the underground. no one's gonna change anything.
joel makes me sad because he's such a bitter, hate-filled little cunt
he wants to be everything, the mainstream authority fuccboi, the underground outsider who's taking down skrillex for being a pleb, the reality starfucker
he's like the new phil spector. all he has to do is rot inside a mansion for 50 years and then stuff some diapers into a waitress' mouth before blowing her brains out.
fuck you joel, go smash your dick with a hammer
can we agree that this album is actually pretty dece?
>>61172685
thats what they said about rap 10 years ago
>>61172877
not necessarily just talking about dancefloor style stuff though, also the housier side of edm and various other genres
>>61172925
Ye, I love this album.
>>61172925
yes, probably an 8/10 for me. not a bad track on there. makes me forgive joel for being a sperglord
>>61172411
I'd say the pressures are very different when you're doing it for a living. At least in EDM I feel like once you break into the mainstream circuit you sort of get roped in to making whatever sells.
>deadmau5 will never do another AMA on /mu/
>no musician ever will again afted DEVVgate
don't mind me, just posting deadmao five's best album
prove me wrong
>>61172983
they were right, rap used to sell millions and millions of records and was huge in the early 2000's much like EDM is now.
Now rap is try hard pretentious meme rap
>>61172685
pretty much this. EDM is practically the fastfood version of music nowadays. Its an eas go-to, hyoe builder, and money maker. I was there in the 90s when "dubstep" was rejected by places in the UK for sounding like shit, then some masterminds brought it to the US right at the peak of the electronica and dance scene (daft punk, ddr, etc.)
Then subgenres of dubstep started
>deathstep
>wonkstep
and lesser mainstream electronic music
>dnb
>footwork
>rave
became more into the mainstream levels as dubstep at the time. As time went on trap music became a thing. This was became a full-force genre after things like the harlem shake, flosstradamus, etc. Now we're at the point where we have a weird mixture of trap, future beats, and dubstep all collaborated into the same fucking thing
aka: current edm
>>61173302
0/10 bait
>>61173322
why's that? Do you actually feel like the EDM world is as fresh and new as it was 4 years ago? Its not, its getting more stale by the day. Every song by a popular edm artist is practically the same. senpai.
>>61173173
most the people itt haven't heard that album and probably have a preconceived idea that it's 4x4=12, the sequel. ignore /mu/'s opinions on deadmau5, always. matter of fact, ignore /mu/'s opinions on anything.
Hopefully joel gets his head out of branding and drops a unique album that EDM shitters will hate
>>61173419
but /mu/ seems to kind of sort of like deadmau5 but they don't really want to directly admit it
Because he's all about drama.
>>61173461
deadmau5 says the same shit /mu/ says all the time, they just don't realize it. they have this false preconceived idea of Joel t b h.
>>61173302
>Then subgenres of dubstep started
>>deathstep
>>wonkstep
you are not talking about dubstep lad
>I was there in the 90s when "dubstep" was rejected by places in the UK for sounding like shit
u wot
>>61173511
I hope people realize that's a shopped pic.
>>61173461
he's talented but a super fucking letdown
at the point when any real musician would be making the best music of their life quietly with the resources of the entire planet at their fingertips, he's memeing it up
making skrillex look pretty fucking amazing, desu
>>61166297
go to bed joel
>>61171481
huh. interesting
at play vol. 3 was pretty good though
>original trademark do not steal
>>61173564
this is exactly what I mean, /mu/ can't fathom joel is/was a /mu/tant. they want to believe he's the skrillex wannabe who is losing. he's not even playing in the same league as skrillex, he hasn't since >album title goes here< and especially not on while(1<2)
>>61173650
wrong. it's pacman with ears.
>>61173652
They're all fags.
>>61173564
he did an ama on mu a long time ago and it was orchestrated by moot.
Only newfigs dont remember.
Also he is namedropping kek and lel all the time in his now deleted twitter
>>61166868
>Stops making generic EDM to make experimental ambient.
>Sell Out
>>61173849
is he going to drop 'deadmau5' too?
>>61172983
They were right, nowadays the only rap that gets taken seriously are the artists that superficially stick political and societal messages on top of their music. If you disagree, compare the lyrics of golden age hip-hop groups with the lyrics of todays most popular artists. No one likes rap for rap anymore, it's all about trying to make black culture look more substantial than it actually is.
>>61173895
I can't speculate for I am not him, but I would imagine that he would just to disassociate his new sound from his old one. You saw what happened when Skrillix tried to leave brostep for a more classic dubstep sound on that one EP. All the Skrillix fans ragged on him and burned the release even though the music was pretty good, if generic, Burial-type dubstep.
>>61173973
that was his best release.
I fuckin hate the EDM community.
I'm going to miss Joel's tweets dissing on them.
What if joel has been releasing shit anonymously this whole time?
>>61166073
speak for yourself guy.
>Does he actually believe that he has musical integrity and that fans will appreciate him for his generic 4/4 doof alone?
>That discerning afficianados will seek his recordings out purely on artistic merit?
I will.
I really don't think he's concerned about money desu. I think he just want to do what he wants without becoming the headline "EDMnews"
he became the face of something he once loved but now loathes. I don't blame him.
>>61173141
If I ever make it big I'll visit you guys
>>61174054
>Who's saying he isn't?
read the thread. /mu/ still acts like it's 2011.
>>61174070
He only has himself to blame.
>>61174176
how? because he had a gimmick? it's called marketing.
he didn't predict the blow-up of EDM, nor was he responsible for it, he made music he liked. and he fought the annoying community of it head on. you're a moron 2bh.
>>61173973
>Burial
>classic style dubstep
do you have any idea what you're talking about
>>61174234
Sorry, I meant the classic GOOD style of dubstep, not shitty 2-step garage. I wouldn't want to associate Burial with shitty 90s chav music. Thanks for allowing me to clarify.
>>61174228
He was happy enough to profit from it and be a sell out. See OP pic.
>>61174362
Dubstep LITERALLY means two step
>>61174373
well who wouldn't be? he still made music he liked though, thus not really losing artistic integrity.
he also exploited the music industry for every cent he can get out it. that's not selling out, that's taking advantage of opportunities.
>>61174461
It LITERALLY means 2-step combined with the basslines of dub music. When it comes to electronic music, a bassline, tempo or beat change is the only thing that separates genres, You gotta be specific.
>>61174362
Burial is closer to 2-step/garage than he is classic dubstep
>>61174480
Except for being a walking billboard. We know it's you Joel just go fuck yourself you butthurt piece of shit.
>just
>>61174885
>FUCK
>>61166073
Always wondered how he keeps that slim, he's always drinking coke and eating fastfood
>>61176152
Do you know him personally?
>>61176152
AIDS.
Find me an even more rad artist.
>>61166073
This is a post from a previous thread
>>61176172
hes just one massive meme
>>61176159
just watch some of his livestreams, it's enough to see what he eats
Why is he such an asshole though
>>61166073
Hes cocaine addict or what? Still liking Random Album Title over Bangarang, but Purpose production just brings Skrillex to a more elevated spotlight.
DUDE MICKEY LMAO
U E A
D M M
E E E
>>61171377
that's his equipment?
why does he have that?
he doesn't need it, surely? I mean unless he is making some entirely different music that no one is hearing, he doesn't need that.
>>61166359
>Kids don't want to hear that 90's house shit any more face it
you have obviously never been to the UK
Overrated garbage at this point. every tune posted on daily /bleep/ tunes blow this guy out of the water
glad i dropped my edm phase fast after I discovered opus https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TjIPzyVlK60
edm is just a easy to fuck sluts on molly without having to worry about ur autismo turning her off. music is just background noise
He comes across to me an internet fedora personified, he can buy as much analogue gear as he wants but if shit like that god awful roygbiv remix is what goes through his head, then no amount of gear will save him.

you realize that is exactly what he's doing, right? he doesn't want to make EDM anymore so he's walking away from it
>>61177657
No he isn't. edm is all he can make.
>>61169857
I bet you thought this was funny.
>>61177293
but muh cool beep machines!
he literally made millions of dollars making music
idk that's pretty cool
Go to bed joel.

>>61171417
>>61171500
The At Play series was literally just Joel making tech house. Incidentally it was the best music he ever released.
>>61179041
I thought he made nearly all of the synths in the last few years with his modulars.
