    Default Alternatives to deadmau5?

    Wuzzu,
    I know this is gonna firmly remove me from the "music aficionado" compartment but...

    I really love deadmau5' stuff, especially The Reward Is Cheese, Ghosts N Stuff, Hey Baby and his Jump Around remix.

    Now I'm just getting into prog house (or whatever you call his music, doesn't really matter) but I don't have many alternatives. I'm not really into minimal or lounge house, it's the energy and buildup in these tracks I love.

    Any takers? I know I've heard of others but I can't remember any names...
    I used to link music in my signature but nowadays I don't.

    1. Go to beatport.com
    2. Explore the genre charts
    3. Dig about, follow links, search for names.
    4. Repeat.


    Seriously, try looking for some new music. There's plenty out there.

    You don't say... point was, I'm new to prog house as a whole and was wondering if you might have some personal faves?

    If you want favourite artist than just check out the top ones in that category. Beatport is some good advice because getting top stuff in new genres is easy there.

    deadmau5 is my favorite progressive producer as well. I think thats where he shines. Not Exactly and Arguru are my all time favs hands down. I find im very selective in my progressive house tracks. I like them to most importantly have a good soothing melody. Some of my other favourites are Daniel Portman-wellness park, thomas schwartz -jupiter calling

    Hmmm isn't Deadmau5 more of a electro producer?

    Hence the part about "Go to the genre pages".
    Go there, hit "top 100", listen to them.

    I'm not being facetious. That's exactly how you find new music.

    could try last.fm, type in deadmau5 and see what else comes up that's related to him. works for me.

    I'm just a girl, standing in front of a boy, asking him to love her.
