Deadmau5: "burn all electronic music down, i don't care"

[keithace]

I thought Dave Clarke shut him up...apparently not...

I have a theory that Mr. Mau5 is a failed DJ...

[DJ Altercation]

Does anyone else really like this guy? I listened to his early stuff and thought it was different but to be honest his shit now is so stale and boring. If it's what you're into, get after it. I think this guy is a piece of shit and is as overrated as they come.

tony dee got involvd with funkagenda on twitter as well, think funkagenda shut him up with this...


"House is a feeling, and when you feel it you will understand that house music is freedom. Freedom to be who you want to be…"
"It doesn't matter who you are. It doesn't matter where you come from. For in my house we are all free…"
"One Nation. God's children. Coming together in the spirit of house…"
Pretty sure all those lyrics are from a "real" house record.
And I'm pretty sure the second verse didn't mention SHM, Joel or anyone else being omitted from the list. So suck my dick.
Surely that's the ulimate face palm? Having your entire argument blown out of the water by your own music? lol


touché.

How about it! The fact this his music is trash isn't what upsets me, it's the fact that he's an ignorant tool douche that only appeals to frat kids who he hates. He is so jealous of other people, a majority of them who he is doing better than, and he's such a little baby about it. Ripping out Pauly D because he made the forbes list. He has a lot of growing up to do.

I just tip my hat (not actually wearing a hat.....) to the DJs and Producers who don't get caught up in this childish bullshit and just get on doing what they love, those are the people I respect (even though there are very few these days)

[keithace]

i have a friend that met and worked with funkagneda...he had nothing positive to say
about him...

In the interests of pointlessly stoking the fire of this argument, here is dnb veteran AK-1200's response:

just saw some of the little beef with Sneak and DMau5. no surprise. anyone who was back there in the early days of any culture or industry all had to do it the hard way, and carve the path and create the foundation for what would eventually reinvent itself a million times over and over. just like Henry Ford or Thomas Edison, some people are key figures in the development of something special. some
thing life changing. something truly worth nurturing and using as a guide for things to come.

fast forward to a new generation, and the pioneers get replaced and forgotten and rarely get a nod for their contributions or their innovations, especially by the people who should most appreciate it. the ones who actually gained from the trials and tribulations of those who preceded them.

For electronic music however, true electronic music and electronic musicians, whether their instrument was 2 turntables and a mixer, or if they were dissecting the capabilities available by the AKAI or EMU samplers, or learning the best way to manipulate compressors or oscillators, they all did this with pure passion, never ever thinking that they can turn this into an enterprise. that was the record labels who sought fame and exploitation, never the artists.

There are so many legends over 20 years deep in the game, who still have that passion and still believe that substance will ultimately outshine the nothingness that has become of this thing called EDM. These artists have and still would play multiple hour sets for their crowds, creating a lasting memory in the form of what we used to call "the journey".

I am glad to have withstood the tests of time, and managed to do my best to maintain relevancy for 20 plus years only because I have the passion for the one little tiny corner of dance music I happen to play. Drum and Bass music has kept me around as a DJ and as a fan of music, but I respect House music, I respect Techno music. I respect the heart it takes to stand by your passion and take jabs constantly on message boards and now on you tube comments or facebook pages or twitter feeds.

All I can think of, is after so long, people take the wool (or cake) from over their own eyes, and see clearly, and begin to research for themselves what it is about this scene that makes them stay loyal, and with that comes the education of its history, and one day, one year, long from now, people will say, yeah these were the guys that really made it happen the hard way, and led the revolution and started the evolution. and look at these little periods of time when all that was compromised for novelty.

I feel proud to be one of the people who helped carve a path in America's scene, and nobody can ever take that away from me, as it is and will always be my legacy.

Very well said. I actually had a drink with him a few years back after a set here and he is the most down to earth guy ive ever met.

on the other hand: Dj sneak is butthurt all the time

truth

[dripstep]

hack, failed DJ, everyone hates him, makes terrible music, blah blah blah. So much hate for an opinion that isn't any different than the opinions above. Fact is, the Mau5 makes tracks that fill dancefloors. The whole reason any of us do what we do is to make people dance. He's seems to have accomplished that. Celebrities will be hated by some, lothed by others and loved by the rest. The ones that speak up about how terrible of a person he is, need to look inside themselves. Does it matter in the end to you if an artist says something stupid?
