deadmau5

[Hacksaw Highway]

Does anybody on here listen to deadmau5? I've really been getting into him lately. I really don't listen to very much outside the spectrum of metal/hard rock, so progressive house is something very different to me. However, he's got some catchy songs, and for whatever reason they appeal to me more than any electronica I've ever listened to before. Here are probably my 2 favorites I've heard by him:

Strobe, the second song there, seems to go by so quick despite its 10 minute time. Just a damn good song. Anyway, I'm seeing him July 11 in concert so I've been listening to more of his stuff and was wondering if anyone here has any reccomendations or whatever.

Deadmau5 is a staple in progressive electronic music, though your videos didn't display, I can only assume that Ghosts n' Stuff was the other song that you selected.

Here are a few more Deadmau5 songs that you'll probably enjoy. If your looking for some more quality electronic music I suggest checking out the Electronic Sampler Platter thread, its filled with high quality electronic gems, lots of them similar to Deadmau5.

One artist I find very similar to Deadmau5 is, Gui Boratto, he's pretty much the Deadmau5 of South America, similar progressive house styles, just different influences, I'll post a couple of my faves for ya.

Thanks man, not sure what happened with my videos. FYI, the other one was Moar Ghosts, which I prefer to Ghosts. Thanks for the tips though, I'll check those out.

In my opinion, deadmau5 has a lot in common with Australian house and indie pop musicians. If you're looking for something similar, check out Pendulum's album In Silico, anything by Cut Copy, and the Siriusmo mix of Bag Raiders' Shooting Stars (youtube video below):
