Joel has been on a roll lately. From a few
pretty fantastic releases on his “Fuckmylife” Soundcloud page, to his
big “Fuck You” to Ultra Records, and of course his twitter argument with
Afrojack over what constitutes good music, Deadmau5 has frankly been
killin it (if you seriously thought that Afrojack was ever ahead in that
argument at any point, you need to re-check your definition of
“Owned”). Earlier today, Joel uploaded a track that can only be
described as How to Troll Mainstream House 101. Appropriately titled,
“DROP DA BOMB” employs the classic build up, a stupid voice saying
something more or less pointless, and then an incredibly simple,
staccato, tribal synth on top of a 4×4 beat. It sounds quite similar
to, well, everything in electro house at the moment. It’s the perfect
way to basically state what we writers circle around with lengthy
articles about bubbles, stagnation, and festival tracks: that at the end
of the day, originality and a real want to create amazing and powerful
music needs to trump copy cat production thats sole purpose is to be on
some top 100 list. If you haven’t listened to the recent tracks that
Joel has put out, you should. They are wonderful previews of music,
created by a person who, at times may talk a little too much shit about
the industry, but really cares about what he puts out there as an artist
and as a member of the electronic music scene. P.S: shout out to
Professor Meowington.
