Deadmau5 tonight!!

[Wuz]

it wasnt that shit but like i just can't get into music that slow for that long.

Not to be a jackass, but why is everyone complaining that deadmau5 is slow? Compared to what? DnB? Not trying to start a fight, I'm just saying that he's about along the same speed as most electro/house/etc.

But I'm jealous. That's raw. I wish I had the chance to see someone like that. The only people that usually come around the Chicago area tend to be acts like Cascada. Not that I wouldn't be down to see Cascada, but come on...

I live in the wrong place.

I live only in Columbus, Ohio. A little surprised that Deadmau5 wouldn't come to Chicago.

When I was travelling I went to The Family a couple of times - nice club.

I've seen Deadmau5 twice at Shindig in Newcastle - both times have been absolutely off the hook - the second time even better as he wore my homemade Deadmau5 head and DJ'ed with it on, hahahahha!

guess its just not the genre for me... i can totally dig it but i feel the pace needs to pickup more.

Fair enough. Personally, I can't stand music that's too fast for too long. Plus at clubs I like to hear music I can dance too... Not that you can't dance to fast music, but I don't wanna be all tired. Hah.

To each his own, I suppose.

4 hour set! Sounds like its going to be awesome. Let us know how it goes. I'll be seeing him DJ in Salt Lake City on March 13th.

Ya'll see what i mean??

This dude does have so much potential tho.

[aiden]

I've seen him 2 or 3 times and I think the first half of his set is always pretty slow and proggy techno-y, but then the second half really picks up in intensity. Tracks like Longest Road, Hi Friend, the melleefresh stuff, and (obviously) The Reward is Cheese really get the crowd going.

I will concede that his mixing is basic at best. But, he's big becuz his name is on the tracks.. just like (pretty much) every other "big" dj.

[miyuru]

I would figure his mixing is pretty technical considering all the gear he uses. IMO he's doing it so well, since he'd have all the parts to his own songs etc. in Ableton that you don't realise how good the mixing is.

At least, I'd hope.
