Deadmau5 sits down with Fuse to discuss his new album, pop collaborations, and why he hates dubstep

deadmau5-tryst-4
Continuing with his PR push, Deadmau5 recently sat down with Fuse to have a candid discussion about his most recent release >album title goes here< discussing how it felt good to get out of his “forced bubble.” In his typical, off the cuff, honest fashion, he comments on the double-edged sword that is the “Rise of EDM,” stating that although it has opened up a lot of doors, he has no plans to “work with whoever I want for maximum exposure.”  He goes on to mention that despite his peers making choices that are “interesting” and a “bit of a comedy,” the fact that the opportunity exists is “pretty big” — he’s just not too keen on the results.
When asked about his success he humbly dismisses it: “it’s good to be appreciated” but “sometimes you do have these thoughts like ‘is all this really necessary?’ — I’m not curing fucking cancer.”
As always, no Deadmau5 interview would be complete without a jab – and this time Joel attacks the dubstep producers, not for the culture they foster but for the lack of respect they show towards the art of sound engineering.
“[Dubstep] is a fuck you to every audio engineer in the world.”

Skrillex shows us how touring South America is done

This mini-documentary follows Skrillex as he tours South American. We see Sonny play the Imperial festival in Costa Rica before heading back to the hotel to have a dance party with Diplo and Redfoo. The next day he’s off to Sao Paulo for Lollapalooza, where Skrillex whomps out with a massive crowd in Brazil. After a frenetic few days, the crew heads to Costa Rica they get time to relax by the pool. Next, they’re in Chile for another Lollapalooza before jetting to Argentina — giving some perspective on just how much you need to move when you’re performing over 300 shows a year. For the two-time Grammy winner, it’s just another day in the life.
