I got an email yesterday from someone asking me if I knew any good progressive/house dj’s out there and only one came to mind. I have been waiting to talk about Deadmau5 for a while now as I see him as one of the most influencial, original and energetic performer in todays house scenes. Classifying him into one category of trance music is considered impossible by most. As our friends from uhohdisco.com describes it, “How many other artists can say they’ve spun hipster events like Hard, raver events like Monster Massive, and (soon to be) pure techno events like the Belgian, I love Techno?” Only 1; Deadmau5
His latest party mixes can be found on his compilation album ‘For Lack Of A Better Name’ released this month. You can buy it and also stream it off his website.
It may be hard to classify his music, but when it comes to describing his remixes, it becomes a breeze; Simply mindblowing. He is one of the few artists who I actually follow on their blog just waiting for the next mix. Although, he has ranted on his blog about people uploading low-quality/rip versions, I hope he can find in him to forgive us all as his music is just too good to keep it to ourselves. If you enjoy progressive trance, Deadmau5 is for you. Cannot wait to see him at HOB Orlando November 12th.
Here are some of his original as well as remixed versions of his works.
