Now the point I feel most people are missing he is, I always here the same music in his live sets. Over an over til your ears bleed. That doesn’t take alot of talent. Then add to the fact he is playing his own tracks. This does allow him to play a great live set, but how much talent is needed to beat the crap out of your own songs again and again. City after city you rarely hear other (artists) songs in his mixes. I am not saying this due to any ill feelings I am harboring towards him. Just that with the amazing music he has produced why waiste talent limiting yourself so much in your live sets?

I am curious to hear what other people think about this as I have heard noone address this.

Deadmau5 is a really good dj

The lesson here is: don’t have a kneejerk reaction to whatever you read.

I didn’t know about that dude, I can’t believe he would act like that to a fellow producer.

I’m totally on your side my friend I’m done supporting a person who purposely degrades fellow artists in this wonderful scene.

lmao “What a knob” greatest quote ever!

thats probably the funniest thing ive heard in a long time

take it easy dude!

Its unfortunate it had to be this way! And besides the guy is a hypocrite, he goes around touring clubs and venues around the world playing to his fans, well what does he call that ?! Its not like hes a live act like Justice for instance, hes just mixing tracks like other Djs, so whats his beef? And could you believe that he had a fight with Schossow in romania a couple of months ago because of Schossow’s famous project Deadrat6 ! He wouldnt hand the decks over the Schossow, and they had to call security! What a knob!

Indeed, respect is very important in this business.Because producers benifit from other producers, and in turn DJs benifit from producers and vice versa. And most producers are DJs nowadays, its very rare to find a producer who doesnt mix, it sort of comes with the territory. He might not be the greatest DJ, but most polls judge by producing capablities these days anyways.

I’m not trying to pick a fight with you just stating my opinion on the matter.
And, I’m glad to hear you support people that use Ableton Live. You seem like a very level headed person after reading your reply.

I’m actually glad you spoke up about it not a lot of people would. Its good to see someone who has a valid opinion, rather then going off on me and droppin’ those F bombs haha I appreciate it

Again, didn’t mean to be hostile to you man, probably sounded like the typical insulting blog comment but this wasn’t the case.

so since respect seems to be the topic of this entire blog post you have mine sir lol

The rat is obviously mad, and him producing alongside djs doesnt mean he approves of them as djs, maybe just as quality producers! This business was not built on fony producers with their self proclaimed cheese, this was a business built by hard working djs and producers such as Sven Vath, Frankie Knuckles, Eric Morillo, Prodigy, Armand Van Helden, etc. who had RESPECT for their peers!

Respect is very important my friend, its not something that can be bought or sold, but earned! And im afraid this rat has none, and he damn sure lost mine and alot of others for him!

I don’t blame him for that comment a lot of people like “you” have consistently bashed him for using Ableton Live in his performances. Saying its cheating, not really DJing, requires no skill, and he’s to lazy to learn how to do it the “real way” etc; I don’t remember him ever calling himself “DJ Deadmau5″

Obviously this has pissed him off enough to make a comment about it.

He’s human just like the rest of us and is bound to say something not everyone is going to agree w/

He doesn’t mean every DJ is a f-ing cunt, if that was the case he wouldn’t produce w/ Jelo, DJ Aero, Chris Lake and so on.
