okay, heres my big announcement thing ...
(http://www.mau5hax.com/)So in the spirit of staying away from the "same old shit" in Miami round WMC time, im taking a break from being on a fuckin stage and getting in the studio with you guys. So! A tent full of producing tools, computers and rad people. lets just get together and share ideas and learn shit! And of course ill be walking around in the mau5hax tent A LOT to check out all your work, play around with you guys, and hopefully we can learn from eachother. for more rewarding to me and you than being paid stupid money to stand on a fuckin stage for an hour. right?



http://www.mau5hax.com/


On March 23rd, Mau5hax will be an 8-hour music production session featuring mau5trap artists collaborating together with fans to create some new tracks in a Miami studio in real-time, and it will all be streaming live online for the world to experience. Get an exclusive inside look at the creative process and artistry behind one of the most influential labels in the industry.




This is an awesome idea and props to him for doing something different. :tup:

Not a fan of his at all, but mad props on this.

I bet the ish is gonna be CROOOOOOWDED though.

[thehadgi]

I'm a huge fan, but props

Rek you gonna go?

[Era 7]

looks like Ultra is causing some divercity with all those people splitting off from them. ultra doing their thing, SHM hosting their beachparty and Deadmau5 doing the production tent.

[RDRCK]

Definitely cool!

Looks like they're only taking 5 ppl, but I'll probably be in the area, so i'll pass by to take a look.

I definitely have no business being in there though. :lol:

[Lazy O]

That is awesome.

[Divercity]

That is really awesome... Mau5trap= Legend!

[Damon_Chambers]

i tip my hat to the guy. as other have said, im not a big fan (not a hater) of his style but its definately very very cool for someone of his stature to do this to connect with fans and bedroom producers. i want to give this guy some rep but i dont think he has signed back up here yet. :(

[Damon_Chambers]

Looks like they're only taking 5 ppl,

lol wut!? maybe he just wants to have good quality time with a few versus having a big deadmau5 is awesome orgy?

[l0ckd0wn]

This is probably the most down to earth thing I've ever heard Joel doing, which is a good break from the norm. Props to him for actually saying he is going to do something different, and doing it.

[drop1]

Must be nice to not need the money anymore, lol. Good on em anyway.

I wouldn't be surprised if these productions turn out well for him financially in the long run.

Yup, looks like he's keeping it small to create a full track with the group.



The tracks created will be given away the following day, so you need to be cool with that too (see Terms & Conditions).
We’re looking for 5 people to make the most of this opportunity, please fill in the form and send us a link to your productions.

Which makes the whole experience that much better.

[thehadgi]

Well, I sent in an 'app' so to speak. Pretty much have no hope of getting the opportunity, but no harm in sending it in right? :teef:

[drop1]

Kinda sounds like a talent search for his label/slick promotion. Why not pick up a couple new artist and get some more long term cheese coming in. It should be a solid experience for the select few though.

No harm in sending, but if you do get a reply... you better get your ass out there!!! :slayer:

That is possible, but i'm sure he (or his label) gets tons of profiles sent to him daily. If it is a search, it's still a good way to go at it.

[login]

At least he is reaching out young producers, also the idea is new for his genre and context. Mutek also have workshops but are quite academic sometimes.

[Ignotus]

lol

QUICK ABLETON FINISH THOSE LAWSUITS WITH THOSE PIRATING COMPANIES BEFORE EVERY KID WHO SEEMS HIM PRODUCE THINKS THEY CAN BE LIKE HIM AND ILLEGALLY GETS YOUR PRODUCT!

[Evolved]

Not a fan of his at all, but mad props on this.

I bet the ish is gonna be CROOOOOOWDED though.
Also not a fan but ditto on this idea.

WMC is a money pit anyway.

[NoLimit028]

Awesome, Deadmau5 is a badass!

[on1sony]

Either we going for the party or for the conference. lol

[Mick Benjamins]

I dont like his music one bit, but I do respect him as a producer.
I used to watch his Ustream channel now and then, just to see him produce and he really knows what he is doing.

Awesome idea!

[NPC]

I wonder if eventually Deadmau5 will just be a TV show and we'll look back and say "Remember when he used to play music?"

Not a bad thing though. Maybe for the better better actually.

[DJTJ]

my respect for him has raised. thats pretty cool that he wants to help the community.

[Lost Connection]

Got to respect the guy. He's got talent, and it is very nice of him to spread it around a little. Helps the future producers a lot.

[monomer]

Maybe someone will show him how to use his modular system:

I think he learned.

[alazydj]

That video is greatness.


At 2:06 I noticed how much he loves his caffeine...


...I wonder what he's won on roll up the rim =|

[BuddyUK]

HE GOT A FICKING MODULAR SYNTH??? :eek:

[djshire]

And that's an old video too.....he's got even more gear now, since he had a studio built specifically for him.

[D@VE!]

I think it's a cool idea that he's willing to share this.

[monomer]

all that power for cheesy assed boring music.

[thehadgi]

Wish he'd go back to random album title style stuff

[DjBlanco]

looks like they're only taking 5 ppl, but i'll probably be in the area, so i'll pass by to take a look.

I definitely have no business being in there though. :lol:

lol its ok i hate the douche but i still applied since ill be there for wmc and ultra anyway

[Gareth]

Regardless of my opinions on him as a person, fair play to him for doing this and not just playing the cliche "superstar DJ" role.

[ferluno01]

do you even know where that song is from? not defending him or anything just curious.

[Interracial Tea]

This is just a small part of the gear he currently has. He is also in the middle of moving into a new studio.

[thehadgi]

I obv am a fan of the mau5, and think this idea is really cool. The only thing I'd hope for if I was going to go in for a studio sesh is that I don't have to make anything sounding like this... :confused:

Although when you can get >7000 listens in less than 8 minutes, I guess you can make stuff like that ha

doing something different. :tup:


This is nothing new. it's returning to what WMC was in the beginning.
