deadmau5 - HR 8938 Cephei

A very interesting new release from Joel. Seems he's listened to his old fans who made him famous and returned to his roots in progressive house.

CONRATULATIONS!!

Thank you so much to everyone who took the time to enter and thanks for reading OMFGAtlanta!

"A while back, I was going through a particularly tough time in my life. I'd lost my job due to this difficult economy and I had also had a relatively bad car accident. My dear friend Scott Voyles who was a popular Dj in Atlanta back in the day who happened to have worked with Mr. Joel Zimmerman, introduced a song to me. It was Deadmau5 "Sometimes things get....Whatever". I must have listened to the song a million times back to back. I fell in love with Deadmau5. I love his quirky "mau5 heads" and the fact that he uses many genres of music in his inspiration and projects. I was never an Electronic, Trance or Techno girl. But his stellar mixes have invaded my ipod ever since. There isn't a day that goes by that I don't listen to Mr. Zimmerman's stunning audio visions. I absolutely love his work. Thank you Deadmau5 for introducing me to a whole new genre of music and audio pleasure to my life. You rock my socks!" - Jamie

OM(au5step)FG - Deadmau5

 

Joel, aka deadmau5, has been posting up some samples of some dubstep tracks he's working on right now. If a progressive electro heavy hitter can win over fans with his take on a new genre for him, then it's gotta be worth checking out: Check out his soundcloud for more sample of his recent dubstep work

Strobe - deadmau5 (Michael Woods Remix)

Yummmm. So tasty. I love the taste of deadmau5 in the morning. Here's a special preview of the Strobe EP released this last Sunday on beatport. Michael Woods takes it and goes even more progressive, more atmosphere on his remix which we are able to feature a small clip for you.

deadmau5 @ Masquerade pics

I planned on attending this show when I first heard he was coming through town again. I got to see him play last year, really enjoyed the set, the night really, and got some good pics. But I've been extremely broke lately like most of us, so I didn't think I'd be able to buy a ticket. Lucky for me, I've got a buddy working at Masquerade and so guest list was easy. Thank you Ryan!

Anyway, the upstairs (Heaven) was packed, of course, by the time I walked in around 10:00. I checked out the crowd, went for a drink and waited for BURNS (opening DJ) to start. It wasn't long before BURNS name lit up the huge LED board in front of deadmau5's DJ booth.

BURNS is the french house producer who has been on our blog as well as all over with his indie dance remixes as well as his own original tracks. It was a good warm-up set and BURNS even got up on the table to pump up the crowd. 

I was curious to see which color mau5head Joel would be sporting when he emerged from backstage. So I hung out with Ryan by the stage sound board and caught a few glimpses of Joel popping out of the back stage rooms rolling film, probably good 'ol tour footage. (I apologize for the crappy resolution on these pics. Don't bother trying to make them bigger, they were taken with my camera phone.) I caught someone pulling the mau5head out of a crate, but it was too dark to see. No sneak peeks aside, it was time for deadmau5 to take stage.

I was still on the side of the stage for the beginning of his set, trying to get some kool pics, maybe. The crowd was so packed up against the front of the stage that noone there really moved the entire time from opening to close. One girl I noticed had her huge sunglasses on and it was completely understandable because of the huge light dsiplay deadmau5 has been touring with. It's basically one huge LED screen in front of the DJ booth with three vertical LED light racks on each side. I had remembered seeing some pics of the stage setup from a House of Blues where he had already played this tour and informed Ryan of the setup beforehand. Before I ventured out to the front to see what the whole thing really looked like, I got a couple pics of the mau5head unveiled. White, with a whole bunch of signatures all over it. That's going to make an awesome keepsake/ebay item!

The rest of the evening was exactly what you can expect from deadmau5. A great selection of tracks from his own library as well as other gems but always edited live and never the same. Having heard the recording of his set in London from this tour, I already knew to expect the Legend of Zelda theme at some point. He didn't drop that until the opening/closing of the last track of the night and basically closed by slowing it to a stall. But the track that really made me happy was when he dropped Schneider TM & Kpt's 'The Light 3000' and started editing that live! Awesome! Still one of my favorite songs, good call Joel!

Overall, a good show. Next time, let's do it @ Tabernacle with about 1000 more people and maybe a different opener. Sound good. Call me.

Have you had your deadmau5 today?

I just got my deadmau5 usb wristband in the mail today. Apparently it's not available in the U.S.A. anymore, *shrug* maybe I got lucky on that one?  I'm only 45min into the set so far, oh wait... he just dropped the Zelda theme again, nice!  His second mix album "For lack of a better name" is out now on iTunes and Beatport.  Next Tuesday, his "for lack of a better tour" rolls through the Masquerade here in Atlanta.

I also put in my pre-order for the red deadmau5 portable media speakers. Ya, this is basically my early Xmas present to myself I guess.

Audio Sensory Awakening Part 6

Woa! What's up OMFG?! My week has been INSANE. How about you? Did you have a brush with the law? I did. Did you have to bum rides all week because your car is dying and your license was expired? I did. Did you almost die from this badass flu going around? Ya, it wasn't really that bad, but it definitely sucked hard. Anyway, it's time I got back to spreading more aural viruses here.

First of all, for those of you who are lucky enough to be in Atlanta... Thursdays nights are the nights you NEED to be going to Apres Diem by Piedmont Park (next door to Midtown Art Cinema). Every Thursday I lug my tables, mixer, and tons of music into Apres Diem and throw down track after track for 4 hours straight, just for you guys! Starting this week, I'm taking a little more liberty with my selections and breaking out of the 'lounge' box. Of course, this works best when I've got LOTS of people there! So come one, come all... LOVE Thursdays @ Apres Diem w/ P.A.T.T.

One of my first posts for OMFG was a history as well as current event on the Harkiss Bros. Scott Hardkiss, probably the most well-known of the trio, released his LONG awaited artist debut album "Technicolor Dreamer" last month. Scott wrote, produced, arranged, engineered, and self-recorded the entire album in his home studio less than 5 blocks away from Ground Zero in NYC. Like a 21st century P-Funk or Prince's Revolution, Scott is joined by a sexy, diverse band of vocalists and musicians: a musically eclectic, multi-cultural, and poly-sexual group featuring Britta Phillips (Luna/Dean & Britta), Lisa Shaw (Naked Music/Salted), Stevvi Alexander (Nelly Furtado/Gwen Stefani), Steven Bernstein (Lounge Lizards/Tricky), Bobby Harden (Blues Brothers), J Bowman (George Clinton/ Michael Franti), Tabitha Fair (Sting), Ernest Carter (Bruce Springsteen), Alex Moulton and more. The record was mixed by Scott with Jason Marcucci (Gnarls Barkley/Beck) and mastered by Brian Gardner (Outkast/Prince/Timbaland). The result is a fresh and inventive, whimsical dance-pop album. A kaleidoscope of sounds that are sprinkled with themes of stars, transformation, and celebration in the face of darkness, Technicolor Dreamer is a bubbly, groovy retro-futuristic funk ride that every man, woman and child is sure to enjoy. God Within has the full digital album ready for purchase and download as well as the "You're The Star" EP. However, I'm patiently waiting for the Deluxe 2xLP 180 gram vinyl in gatefold package I purchased a month ago to arrive on September 15th...o0o0o0o0o! You better not disappoint me Scott!!

Have you listened to Calvin's new album?!? Ready For The Weekend came out on August 17th in the UK and by August 24th, it made Number 1 on the UK album charts. OMFG has already brought you video of Calvin doin his thang with a gaggle of beautiful musical girls and his "Humanthesizer". Now I thought I'd share a couple of remixes of "I'm Not Alone" I came across. I'm Not Alone - Calvin Harris (Thomas R Remix) is a really nice, easy to mix, well-done-without-being-over-the-top mix which does not feature the vocals, so you could easily throw down an accapella if you wanted. I'm Not Alone - Calvin Harris (deadmau5 Remix) is yet another very well done remix brought to you by the electro progressive production powerhouse that is deadmau5. I love almost everything I've heard from deadmau5. This isn't his best collaboration, but nonetheless a good track.

Ehem, this next track I just have to share because it keeps playing on my iPod and I love it a little more everytime. To Kingdom Come - Passion Pit (GRUM Vocal Mix) Yes, another GRUM track, muahahaha!
