EM Cast deadmau5 Interview





A quick video I made and upped for the latest deadmau5 interview. Registering at almost 15 minutes, this interview includes discussion about gear and production techniques, and is preeeety interesting to the gearheads or to-be-producers for that.

Who Am I?



Some good ol' trip-hop from solo act Peace Orchestra.

Peace Orchestra is a musical solo project from Viennese trip-hop-dub producer Peter Kruder, best known as one half of Kruder & Dorfmeister.

Peace Orchestra is also the title of an album recorded by Kruder under the Peace Orchestra banner. The album's most well-known track is "Who Am I", which received a great deal of exposure through its use in the Wachowski Brothers' Animatrix project. It was also used in the movie Stay (2005).

I Remember



Here's a remake of the Deadmau5 song 'I remember' remade in Minecraft using the new note blocks. It is slightly out of sync and some of the footage is missing, mainly because of a BSOD that happened while I was recording. This also made my world corrupt :(. I have swapped the harp for the pling.ogg file that came with minecraft but wasn't included in any of the notes. Have fun. Comment if you have any questions.

Beatport, AM Only, And Denver's Beta Nightclub Get Slapped With Lawsuit



http://www.genxglow.com/beatport-am-only-denver-s-a554


As only Beatport is really applicable to this blog, I decided to post this anyways to raise awareness and to see what people have to say.

In the 43 page court brief filed December 1, 2010, Regas Christou, claims that Brad Roulier used his connections at Beatport to coercise DJs to play at only Beta nightclub when they came to Denver. How did he do this? By threatening to remove an artist and/or their entire label from the Beatport marketplace if they played at a venue outside of Beta. And to add insult to injury, Christou also claims that AM Only told talent buyers affiliated with his club's in Denver, that top-tier DJs were not available on dates that he requested. However, a talent buyer also associated with Christou requesting the same names in Phoenix, Arizona on the same dates, magically were available.

The document lists many examples and proof to validate these claims. And what good would any court filing be without name dropping Deadmau5? According to the document, Christou's talent buyer offered $15,000 (more than double the market rate for such a performance at the time) to play at Vinyl for two hours after his performance at Red Rocks. Deadmau5 expressed interest in the offer, but after meeting with his agent, said that he could not accept because he was afraid of angering Roulier.

In the latter part of the document, Christou counts his losses: "(i) its revenues and profits from performances of A-List DJs have decreased significantly; (ii) its ability to compete with Beta has been frustrated, causing SOCO to lose actual and potential customers and past and future profits and harming SOCO’s goodwill and reputation; (iii) the reputation of SOCO’s clubs and Mr. Christou have been diminished, resulting in inability to form business partnerships and greatly increased costs of booking all live performances, including but not limited to A-List DJs; (iv) the negative effect on SOCO’s revenues has significantly reduced the going concern or sale value of SOCO’s component business including The Church and Vinyl; (v) revenues from patrons visiting other of SOCO’s clubs in the South of Colfax district both before and after performances by A-list DJs has decreased; and (vi) the effect of diminishing the reputation of and number of visitors to SOCO’s clubs has significantly reduced the value of real property owned by SOCO’s component entities."


What Happens Next
Not only has Christou filed these claim against the parties, but he requests a jury as well. Which means, he's not trying to have this settled out of court, he wants a trial. If you read the briefing, I think that you would agree that Christou has a good bit of arguments that may help him win this court case. No official statements from the opposing parties have been released. Because as we all know, there are two sides to every story. However, their silence might also speak volumes as well. Beatport is rapidly turning into the Facebook of EDM (those of you that have seen "The Social Network" will understand what I'm talking about).

I'm curious to see how this trial will play out. We're talking about some of the biggest brands in electronic music--who knows, Deadmau5 could be called as a witness. Some other examples of malpractice that were given in the document also provide quotations against Beatport, yet lack a name next to the quotes. Not exactly sure what this means, but I'm guessing they are trying to protect some people.

Read The Full Court Brief

It takes about 30 minutes to get through, but there are a lot of juicy details in the document that make it a dynamic read.


Anybody else getting some infantile-vibes from this entire argument?

A Million Tomorrows - Pretty Lights


Found this through some recommendations on last.fm. Enjoy.

Pretty Lights, real name Derek Vincent Smith, is an electronic music artist from Colorado. Since July 2010, Adam Deitch has assisted during live performances. The name comes from a Pink Floyd poster that read “Come and watch the pretty lights!

"Smith’s music is the byproduct of digital sampling and crosses many genres, forming a combination of glitchy hip-hop beats, buzzing synth lines, and vintage funk and soul samples."
