deadmau5’s Soundcloud continues to buzz, uploads ‘Nowhere Fast 02’ and ‘Turbo CartPig Racer’
Deadmau5's production tear continues with his latest Soundcloud upload "Turbo CartPig Racer." Paying homage to the internet sensation Minecraft in the track's title, Joel's latest is much different than his slew of recent releases, further showcasing the scope of his production talent. Today's nearly 7-minute upload is driven forward by shuffling arpeggios and gritty electro kicks. It's a dreary soundscape of 16-bit synthwork and buzzing engines that bears a striking resemblance to the French touched soundscapes of Kavinsky's art-fueled electronica.
Afrojack comes back with ‘GotDrop (Hypebeat),’ the ‘drama’ continues?
Apparently in the world of Twitter warfare, nothing says 'right back atcha' like cleverly titled tracks on Soundcloud. As the Afrojack and Deadmau5 beef continues to heat up (what they are heating up? we aren't quite sure exactly), Afrojack responds to deadmau5's "Drop Da Bomb" with his very own sonic cockshot. Not nearly as intentionally awful as "Something_," the aptly titled "GotDrop (Hypebeat)" is another simple studio speedrun. Is the drama real? Who knows but one thing is for certain, they did it -- they got our attention -- now let's hear some completed productions.
Deadmau5 trolls commercial dance music with ‘Drop Da Bomb’
After a very public debate with Afrojack about dance music's lack of creativity, Deadmau5 took to his studio to troll EDM's current influx of uninspired drivel with his own banal take on festival music with "Drop Da Bomb." Following up on Daleri's "Epic Mashleg" that pieced together the entire Beatport Top 10 into a blur of repetitive and nearly synonymous builds and drops, Joel takes it one step further and creates 40-seconds of the least inspired music he could muster. The most unsettling truth exposed from this whole debate? The fact that if Joel had finished and released this track, it would quickly find its place a top the Beatport charts.
