Last night I was lucky enough to catch Deadmau5 in my home town. He was in Newfoundland for the Junos (Canadian Music Awards) where he won best Electronic Music album. He played previously on the weekend but with all the plane delays from the volcano he had another show which I was lucky enough to see.
All he was using in his set was a touch pad (Like an I PAD but bigger) and what looked like the clubs djm 800 mixer. The guy layers his sets like no other I have heard before. All on a touchpad where he was using ableton if I were to guess. Anywas, he has a great stage presents jumping around all over and pouring champaigne into the crowd and wearing the infamous mouse head. The club only holds about 400 people so the amosphere was great.
The touch pad he was using seeemed so affective. He was beatmashing and adding clips really fluently. I just had to share this because it was very inspirational. His dj set was like a live production adding vocals here and bass lines there and the crowd was eating it up. Imagine just showing up to the club with a touch pad and nothing else and rock it like that guy...mad respect.
