Does Deadmau5 even use CDJs? All he usually has on stage is a mixer, some midi controllers and a laptop.

R.I.P Those who didn't survive the drop iluvdupstep98 2 hours ago

[–]mcoree 17 points18 points ago

It's both Funny and sad cause deadmau5 isn't a dubstep artist

[–]Jimbo-Jones 25 points26 points ago

He has quite a few songs with a dubstep feel. Sofi needs a ladder, animal rights, and one trick pony all have a blend of electro house and dubstep elements. Joel tends to always stay on the house beat side of things, but he mixes it up now and then.

[–]colonel_chapstick 1 point2 points ago

Sofi Needs a Ladder and Animal Rights are electro house, which can be identified by the 128BPM tempo, and the four on the floor drum beat (kick on every quarter). Dubstep is 140BPM with a half time break-beat or two-step drum beat (anything without a kick on each quarter).

One Trick Pony however is dubstep, so is Raise Your Weapon. Those are the only two dubstep tracks of his, please correct me if I'm wrong.

[–]pryan12 1 point2 points ago

I think some of the stuff that he did live in the studio is dubstep. I forget what those tracks are even called. I'd investigate further, but I'm super lazy

EDIT: I did end up investigating further and I found that the closest to dubstep from the mau5hax thing he did is "Titty Sprinkles". It has a step pattern, but it's 110 bpm according to beatport.

[–]colonel_chapstick 0 points1 point ago

Oh well yea he has several dubstep tracks on soundcloud, but in my previous comment I was only referring to his dubstep tracks that have been released. And the mau5Hax thing was dubstep (or glitch-hop, whatever) but that wasn't really deadmau5's, he just helped a couple of kids make it. Thanks for looking into it though, I appreciate it :)

[–]Funkafize 3 points4 points ago

Not sure why people are down-voting you considering you're just stating facts. Deadmau5 for sure has a few dubstep tracks

[–]Jimbo-Jones 7 points8 points ago

A lot of people think all dubstep is brostep and down vote everything saying dubstep heh.

[–]MbMn91 4 points5 points ago

And some people know what dubstep actually is and downvote for that reason.

[–]lumadroid 7 points8 points ago

I think that's part of the joke.

Awwww, poor little guy. :~{

[–]metrognome64 10 points11 points ago

Your comment reminds me of a story:

When my husband was young, he took his little brother out to teach him how to shoot with the .22s they had at their grandparent's farm. His little brother ends up shooting a gopher, but it wasn't a kill shot. It was kind of seizing on the ground.

His little brother walks over to it kneels down and says "Awww, poor little guy."

My husband thinks, "Oh great! Now he's going to start crying."

Little brother, looking really sad, stands up, and BAM! BAM! BAM! Put 3 more shots into the gopher, then walks away to go reload.

[–]classy_stegasaurus 0 points1 point ago

How so? Should they have let it live to create a mouse army to destroy their home? That's an exaggerated effect of letting wild pests live

[–]tactical_tickles 0 points1 point ago

Should they have let it live to create a mouse army to destroy their home? That's an exaggerated effect of letting wild pests live

Yes, and cancer is an exaggerated effect of hangnails.

And I don't know where you live that mice are such a problem, but the naked ape infestation around these parts is way worse.

[–]classy_stegasaurus 1 point2 points ago

I ment that if you let one or two live, you can wind up with a full sized nest in no time. Sorry if it seemed rude

[–]halfpint513 -1 points0 points ago

no... but it still makes me sad.

[–]classy_stegasaurus -2 points-1 points ago

I see no sad in this picture. Only joy from one less feral mouse in the world

[–]Cruth99 18 points19 points ago

Did you guys know that deadmau5 got his name from a dead mouse he found in his apartment? When he was making music in his apartment it started to smell, later he had to change a soundcard. When he opened up his case, he found a dead mouse in there.

[–]captainmorgan23 32 points33 points ago

yes.

[–]buyaccount 15 points16 points ago

And his name is Deadmau5 and not DeadMouse because on the forums they only allowed 8 characters for usernames.

[–]Canoo 0 points1 point ago

It was some IRC channel IIRC.

[–]pryan12 3 points4 points ago

Those two acronyms are extremely confusing when used in the same sentence.

[–]LJIGaming 1 point2 points ago

We know. We've been told too many times now.

[–]colonel_chapstick 1 point2 points ago

actually he found a dead mouse in his computer, not his sound card. How the hell would a mouse be able to crawl into a sound card? I can't imagine a sound card that would have an opening big enough for a mouse to crawl into

[–]Cruth99 0 points1 point ago

He went to replace his sound card, and found the dead mouse.

[–]colonel_chapstick 0 points1 point ago

I'm pretty sure a music producer's sound card would be something along these lines instead of an internal sound card.

[–]Jimbo-Jones 2 points3 points ago

The mouse had crawled into the power supply and couldn't get out. A web forum he was on started calling that dead mouse guy and it evolved into what it is now.

[–]Cruth99 0 points1 point ago*

EDIT: Learned the real reason from Leadmeister, completely read the answer wrong.

Indeed! And apparently (learned that today, don't know how credible it actually is) because just deadmaus wasn't big enough, he added a 5 to it.

http://wiki.answers.com/Q/Why_did_Joel_Zimmerman_call_his_artist_name_deadmau5

[–]Leadmeister 5 points6 points ago

No, deadmouse was too big for IRC, so he changed it to a 5, then used an a instead of an o for pronunciation/German joke

[–]Cruth99 0 points1 point ago

Aha! That's what they meant, I knew it was his IRC name, but since I never joined IRC I had no idea. Thank you!

[–]Leadmeister 2 points3 points ago

Yea no problem. There is a video on his youtube channel where he is asked this and he answers it fully.

Many people think he did it for a mix competition or remix competition but he has said himself it was for an IRC chatroom

Thought about something me and a couple of friends did at a LAN at my house. The cat had put a pretty big, dead rat on the porch, so we decided to make a mini-crossbow and took a couple of pictures of the rat as Twitch from League of Legends. I don't think I have the pictures, but they might show up on reddit if I find them.

You're right. I'm sure that mouse is harmless. It shouldn't have just been brutally murdered like that. I mean, mice have never killed anyone! Right?

Cough, the plague, cough

[–]cuddIefish 1 point2 points ago

False. That was caused by fleas on rats.

[–]Funkafize 0 points1 point ago

Yep. And the fleas carried inside of them diseased blood which came from the rats.

[–]tudormorris[S] 5 points6 points ago

Preachy redditor strikes again... I'm sorry but this is absolutely hilarious, and people who don't laugh at it are obviously people who take themselves too seriously. And for the record they (friends and family) all thought it was hilarious. If you seriously think this is an indicator of being mentally maladjusted you need to grow up. It's probably the fault of all those video games that society plays...

[–]cestedd 0 points1 point ago

As an instigator of this modern art installation and one of the main contributers to deadmou5e's rise to fame, I'd like to go on the record in saying that the mouse in question lived a happy life and died of natural causes at an old age.

Also get of your pedestal, midgets and dwarves are two distinctly different things.
