Even though at first glance, the music producer Deadmau5 might seem like any random person that dances around on a stage wearing a giant mouse head. But underneath the helmet is one of the world’s greatest electronic house producers. Electro house is widely known as a form of music that uses computers to create beats that are easy to dance to. This makes his songs seem to flow together on an album. One album where this is noticeable is on his newest one >Album Title Goes Here< which came out September 25, 2012. Specific songs like “There Might be Some Coffee” and “The Veldt” are perfect examples of this albums flow. Because of the slower tempo of “There Might be Some Coffee” it really comes to a good contrast with the hard beats of “The Veldt”. In comparison to Deadmau5, the fairly new producer Avicii and his song “Levels” are another very popular electro house genre. Both producers have large fan bases because songs like “There Might be Some Coffee” and “Levels” due to their trance inducing sound. Most songs in house music only have a couple lyrics if they even have any at all. This makes the words that are said memorable for their importance in the song. When the words “Ripping through like a missile” are said in Deadmau5’s song “Raise Your Weapon”, it reminds everyone that their actions affect all of the people they are in contact with. Critics say that >Album Title Goes Here< is a fairly significant advancement Deadmau5’s career. Because of how he “Introduced new elements from pop music” says writers for Billboard magazine “It fits well in his image”. I agree with their complements for Deadmau5 also think that using singers form semi popular bands is a great way to become more noticed. Overall not only is >Album Title Goes Here< worth the money for the people who buy it, but many other’s from Deadmau5.
