Deadmau5 - Raise Your Weapon (Live from NYC 9/14/10)
Deadmau5... Joel... Bro... The man has made mention of one of his pet peeves being the fact that people rip audio (specifically new unreleased tracks) from live sets / mix sets / etc. and broadcast them all over the interwebs via youtube and other file sharing sites. The main part of this Pet Peeve, someone correct me if I'm wrong, rests with the circulation of low quality audio. This brings with it the misrepresentation of the hard work and effort that goes into perfecting all of the intricacies that come with producing electronic music.
This video was ripped from a live stream set up by Mr. Zimmerman himself from NYC last night, big thanks to Müller for the heads up on this one. The man put it up himself. I don't feel bad about posting another person's youtube rip - this is easily the highest quality version of the track I've been able to find yet, all courtesy of Deadmau5's impeccable use of technology to keep fans tuned into his life. This is his new progressive dubstep (new genre in the making?) track called "Raise Your Weapon."
With dubstep coming to be an increasingly visible genre in not only festivals but in mainstream popularity, there are a couple routes that my favorite grind could take.
a) Commercial popularity ruins it with Miley Cyrus pole dancing to the dubstep remix to "Party in the USA" at the VMA's next year and the genre fades into nothingness.
b) Artists like Deadmau5 continue to push the envelope and progress it down an unknown path of evolution - quality and quantity will increase tenfold.
c) It will lose popularity in the mainstream, radio will denounce it, people will claim that its dead - but the underground love for the nasty/gritty/dirty side of it will remain and will possibly get even "darker"
d) Dubstep becomes so intense (see track in the post below) that it actually turns cars, tractors, semi-trucks and all other vehicles into Decepticons and they destroy the world...
