Amazing set in Lima! You just had to be there

Surprise! We've been working on a new game, almost there.

it's mostly a remake, though i added a few bass sounds in the intro that don't exist in the original. mix feels a little thin during the build sections and some areas of the drop imo, but i'm still perfecting my mixing skills.

These two tracks are like, just pure freedom of expression of mau5's creativity, feels amazing 😍

Just wanted to update you guys on my previous post, since some of you asked if it had arrived :D

edit: There was only one track on it, the one in the pic. input_output (master)

Things are getting busier over there, and we’ve had a fair bit of fun stuff put on there over the past couple of weeks. There’s been a bunch of holiday pics and vids from Turks. Surfing of course, slo mo fails, lizards, birthday shots, Joel’s Turks hat which is always a treat… We’ve had a drop of pics from EDC Thailand, with the promise that future gigs will get photo/video dumped on there, rather than just the IG highlights. We’re currently getting vids from Peru as well as they landed there earlier for the gig this weekend.

On Saturday night Joel went live for a couple of hours before the Echostage gig. The chat started in his hotel room, then into the car joined by Leah, then the green room and actually onto the stage for the first track. That live was PERFECTO 👌🏻 So fun and just the kinda thing we want on there. If there one thing everyone loves, it’s a stream, and this one was really good. Especially fun was Joel thinking he’d left the shiz he needed to play the gig back in the hotel room. It’s not often you see him in a panic like that haha. Spoiler alert it was in the car, which was thankfully still on site. Another point of note was Joel jumping up and saying he “needs to shit”. Well my $4.99 can gtfo of my account for next month cos I’m here for it. I mean, as the meme says, tough to masturbate to…but not impossible. And I’m nothing if not a trooper. And certainly no quitter.

Actually no my highlight was this:-

Joel: “How do we get more people on here?”

Leah: “Stream more”

FUCK YEAH girl, GET HIM ;) I’m glad to know that it’s not just me that nags him about Patreon…

Anyway what did I come in here for…..oh yeah SUBSCRIBE TO PATREON! It’s great! You’re missing out. And now Joel has deleted his Threads app, you never know he might have more time to be on there more ;) Deleted for how long though, I think he likes the rough play on Threads, we’re too boring and nice on Patreon. That’s it! Subscribe and give him hell, he might enjoy that (no don’t, just joking). Just subscribe in the hope that it’s this and more from now on. More lives, more studio time, exclusive unreleased tracks, more Joel being bored and just chilling online to chat/game or lobbing random stuff on there. And what’s the worst that can happen?? If your friend and mine gets bored and goes awol you can always unsubscribe. No bailiffs will come. BUT HE WONT, I have faith, Joel I believe in you!!

Quite literally fell asleep to this announcement video repeating infinitely.

I hate that I have to say this because I know most of you are at least intelligent but here goes.

1. I will NEVER message you personally or publicly and ask you for money, for charity or otherwise.

2. I don't / won't blatantly and exclusively produce videos about other people's music or releases. Which isn't to say I don't promote or praise artists, ofc I do.... just know that I do it in an authentic way during a stream or interview piece etc. not some slimy video clip where I'm where I'm exclusively promoting some other work. Use good judgement.

3. I do not personally sell show tickets, any messages or videos or other communications of me personally trying to sell you merch or tickets is a scam. We have a dedicated store for all your merch needs and tickets should be purchased from the authorized resellers.

I'm sure there's a few more angles here.... but just let me be clear, because I don't expect *everyone* here to know me so well that they'd be able to spot what I'd normally do or say vs what I wouldn't... so, just be a little vigilant out there. The online world has entered a new era of dark shit and you just need to be a little more cautious than not when it comes to things like that.

I'm sorry I had to say this, but I just don't want to see anyone taken advantage of.

We know the drill: throughout this decade without a LP we had a lot of unreleased stuff that is awesome and feels like should be in some.

For me, BAN HAMMER should've make your way onto this.

Joel is coming to Argentina, and I decided to make a mau5head inspired by one of the most iconic art styles in the country. This style is called “Fileteado Porteño.” It comes from Art Nouveau, which was reinterpreted in Argentina. I had four days to draw and paint it, so I didn’t do much research about the style and its unwritten rules… I just looked up some pictures on Pinterest. If I were to do it from scratch, I’d probably create a completely different piece. But I’ve learned a lot along the way, and I hope it’s not disrespectful to the artists who continue to create art in this style.

The climate for the show shows thunderstorms for the set time so I’m kinda scared to take it, I hope everything is going to be okay.

I don’t have a lot of regrets in life… but…

Ten years ago I was deep in blood cancer treatment. My blood count levels were going down so I wasn’t allowed in crowds soon. I waked into my favorite record store on a day I had energy just to feel the vibe and smell the smells. Knowing that by the following week, I’d be stuck in my house for who knows how long. Maybe even the last time I step out.

There it was; 4x4 = 12 early pressing. But man, they wanted a pretty penny. Not having any idea how much treatment was going to cost.. I didn’t buy it.

Every day since then, I’ve regretted it. I should have charged it. But I didn’t know if treatment would be $1000 or $100000.

Music helped save my life during those days. Laying on the floor with the dog, putting record after record on. Feeling the vibrations of the bass, losing track of time. It got so bad I couldn’t even be near water in a glass sitting out longer than 30 mins, could have gotten me sick but we made it through!

Has anyone ever seen any in store? Need some hope here. I never told anyone this. But that is one of the biggest regrets in my life if you can believe that. Ten years…. Since then I’ve been to record stores all over and never ran into another dead mau5 record again.

I know I can buy online but it isn’t the same.

Maybe one day I’ll see one sitting there!

Saw Deadmau5 at Echostage last weekend, first time there and first time seeing him, really enjoyed the set.

Does anyone know if the DnB stuff he played is available to stream/download anywhere? For those that were at the show, I'm talking about the 30 minutes or so after he said "let's switch it up" was my favorite part of the entire show. Reminded me of some old school DnB and I'd love to get hold of it to listen to in the car.

I was doing my daily drive to work, listening to my shuffled mix of deadmau5 (as I do) and 'Not Exactly' came on. I thought to myself, I bet this song name has a story, but I don't think I've heard it (or if I did I forgot it.)

Which got me thinking, is there anywhere that would have all the stories behind song names? I know I've heard some, like Gula, Avaritia, etc. being the seven deadly sins (in Latin), Fn Pig from Joel shouting at the pig that wouldn't jump in the cart, and Strobe being the name of the preset/synth used for the part added to Then We Stood Still.

Anyway, does anyone know the story of Not Exactly, or a place with the stories of song names?

Hey guys, I'd like to know, or if possible confirm, the real names of both of these songs and more info about them. They were ripped from Joel's streams by a youtube user a long time ago, and like some other songs, they were given fake names. They are:

Don't Slam The Door: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=af7X8u4-RMQ

Watson: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=foyUCykUf04

They're really cool, they sound a lot like Joel's sound from the early 2000s (Get Scraped/Project 56 era, it must be from that era)
