wrapping it up right when it was getting interesting
Weird flex from MusicTech
Lols
The whole interview he was boiling it down to see if Kaskade got ghost produced like Adam k n Soha
7:56 Joel def taking shots at Play Records and Ultra
deadmau5 reaction on faxing berlin is hilarious 07:35
I love when the host thanks them both for the interview and the shot zooms out, you can see a very enthusiastic Joel blankly staring into the void :P
Move For Me is one of my favorite songs, like top 10 favorite songs, it's really cool to see both legends together, great video.
interesting look into this project hope they keep it going
" take the collective stupidity of the world and make a robot to barf it out"😂😂😂
Considering my wife does tech support for a very high end design software (cough, Catia, cough cough) she would very much agree with Mr.Zimmerman’s quote, and then some. Due to the Military putting AI use on ice. (Long story short during a simulation, the AI with of predator drones took out the human controllers in the bunker, because it saw the human controllers as an obstacle)
I think nobody ever is gonna beat these guys magic ✨... 👊😌💯
great stuff
Seems like Joel was being really deep there with the laptop vs analog track bit... I feel you man..
Does anyone know what software Joel is talking about at 13:12 ? Sounds similar to XO, but not sure.
I think it's XO, although I know there's another one called ATLAS or smth like that (and there are probably more)
Audiostellar
Nice 👌
does anyone know what joel is talking about at 11:40?
Ai music
I feel like Deadmau5 is a better producer, but Kaskade is pickier about what he likes so his final product is perfect, and those traits are on a similar level so it works. I bet Joel has made twice as many songs, but everything Kaskade finishes is releasable
I dunno Joel is pretty picky too there’s plenty of songs he’s sat on for years before releasing
Deadmau5? Picky? Naaaah. Lmao
@@brandonrote2485 Steve Duda has said many times that dm is happy as long as the song gets 80% there in terms of what he heard in his head and that his hidden talent is getting there and being able to just let go and release
@@paulie-gpomegranate
@@brandonrote2485 he really isn’t.
I feel like if Deadmau5 didn't get to do the most amazing thing in the world for a living and didn't have everything his heart desires, he'd have shot up a local mall or something and wouldn't exist. He's so angry for a person that has his life.
maybe. I do think he's overly cynical and sarcastic with people. but I can relate in seeing how the world you dreamed of that motivated you turns out to be rather vapid, fake and downright unfair. I think his attitude reflects what he's seen in the music scene having "made it"
What the hell, shoot up a mall? What is wrong with you lol. He's just a bitter and introverted person...jeez.
Joel basically got trapped in a career making music he doesn't take seriously for a scene he probably doesn't respect that much. Just because it was the only way to pay his rent back when he was starting music. There's an old biography that says this somewhere.
@@CHR0MEMATIC don't get me wrong, I love the guy and the music, but hate the scene as well.

LOL Joel has no desire to be there. Look at the very last frame of this video and it says it all
I love joel, he's so f*cking cool and real. THX

Cringed a lil
He comes off as very unlikeable
It’s cause he can see all the weird flaws, unfair things, and just downright kinda pointless stereotypes and societal standards in the music industry. It’s such a competitive place to be in, and people will do anything to get on top. He can see that, and there’s reasons why he, and others (including me) are frankly pretty dang annoyed with it.
@@varunaX
You're even right about that. He often speaks coldly, b*tchily, cynically, despises almost everything and everyone in the industry and makes no secret of the fact that he has made a lot of money and has therefore now "become" independent and free.
And that is precisely what makes him so interesting and likeable to those who are sensitive to this kind of self-expression.
He simply doesn't give a sh*t whether he generates more customers, whether there is more hype about him or his person or whether you like what he says, he simply speaks freely because - through his financial independence and successful sales - he has gained the legitimacy to be allowed to be what few or no one dares to be.
[And] That's what makes him actually unique. ‼‼‼
This is appreciated, not only by his fans (who eat everything he "does" anyway), but also by those who just can't/are not allowed to speak so freely, for reasons of their own reputation or career.
It's a shame, actually. There are more artists who wanted to get off the hook and f*ck up with the structures in which they are trapped (partly by contract, community constraints etc. )
The music industry and its external perception is illusory and manipulative.
Everything may glitter in front of the stage and on the stage, but behind the stage it is an ice-cold business with the feelings and behaviours of the artist, as well as the consumers of the products of the entertainment industry.
Disgraceful. Disgusting. Surreal.
Anything for all that money.
Thanks for reading.

Yes, I know. You meant me, with cringed, right? :)

⚠I shouldn't talk about love. Love is far too sacred for that and Deadmau5 is just some RNDM guy who makes kinda good music.
And I'm sorry, I really don't want to/should give you a lecture, especially when you already know what and who Deadmau5 is. But I'll do it anyway (because I feel like writing to you...): 🤪
He's certainly not the best musician or even a real composer (he can't even play an instrument properly, in case you didn't know that...), but you actually have to acknowledge: he's a remarkable music producer and synth mega-nerd. If you don't know, if you can hear it, I guarantee you, you can feel it!!! 🎼🎹🎚🎧
He's got the technical part down and can join the league of genius tech enthusiasts out there.
Either way, his unorthodox major/minor complexes (e.g. minor backdoor progression ending on major) are his unmistakable trademark and unique selling point, which sets him apart from all the other EDM fops.
[*] What I like is his tongue in cheek, his industry acumen and the fact that he talks a lot of up-and-coming idiots out of being so naive, as if the industry has always been waiting for you...
My Opinion (and 2 cents):
The music industry system eats human flesh and that is the core competence and the product: human flesh in new garments and dazzling colors that best deliver meteoric careers without any real quality control or reverence.
The product is addictive and consumers eat sh*t like there's no tomorrow.
❗And THAT'S what's actually cringeworthy.❗
Joel communicates this ("don't sign with the major!"), doesn't mince his words about how despicable he finds the business and does what he wants to show off his independence (generated by crass sales figures), along the lines of: "Look, I'm in the same system and still self-sufficient: you could have made a career like this, dear colleagues."
I don't really know what the other guy is actually doing or should be doing here (Kaskade), but it's probably just two friends who want to/can throw another product onto the market to exploit the brand[s]. Similar to D5's current thing with Rezzo etc.
Collaborations for the algorithm. Rich kids fancy time...
But I would like to note: "Kx5 - Escape (feat. Hayla)" is a f*cking WORLD-HIT! Right???
What beautiful vocals, a nice message and familiar music (but nothing new...)
In order to bring my intention and possibly unnecessary clarification work to a final common denominator, in the question of how cringe I am (fan) or how cringe is D5 or together with Kaskade in the interview (?), I would like to make a summarizing statement:
"The most tragic thing is that none of this has anything to do with art."
Thank's for reading.

Some of us can only afford a Mackie or a Berhinger mixer....we don't all have the cash for a massive Neve desk!!
Don’t sweat it. Mixers all do the same thing. In the end the success comes from banging out music day after day and getting better at it.
To be fair, it took them an entire career to get to that point.
Yeah all that gear just to watch him on Serum and Cthulhu.
@@edjefferson9175 Not. You really think skrillex is entirely self produced? No just you. He out experiencing the world while everyone's at home tryina figure him out.
I've never heard your average listener go: Yeah this is a great song but it'd be better if it were all analog. Just saying. You could make sounds out of your own voice even though you can't sing and if it's good people will listen to it. Has absolutely nothing to do with gear whatsoever. At all.
O
A little bit deesser wouldn't hurt 🙃
Why? They are both millionaires
Deadmau5: I only work from home
James Hype: Hold my beer and watch the turbulence please 😉
u must be joking
man they look so blasé
They are scared because they know that AI will make better music for less money....
To also quote him (paraphrasing) “AI isn’t gonna remove creativity. It’s a tool, like any third party plugin. It’s how people use AI. I’m just waiting to see if AI is gonna like…take over or if something else happens.” “AI is often confused for an algorithm. AI and algorithms are two completely separate things.”
It's awfully white in there.
hahaha!! Need more Cowbell 😂😂😂
Cry about it
