Outspoken popular electronic artist Deadmau5 just took to his tumblr to post a little rant on some frustration he’s been having lately with the state of EDM and the concept of DJ’s and producers promoting that they are playing a “live” show. To be honest, I mostly agree with him and this main concept is something that has really been bothering me about popular EDM acts these days. But i’ll leave it to Joel to rant about it.
In the aftermath of his tumblr rant I also found some interesting twitter reactions (from Skrillex, Laidback Luke, and fans) that I’ve posted below for your viewing pleasure.
In other news, Deadmau5 also just graced the cover of Rolling Stone and had an equally outspoken article in it (again) discussing his thoughts on other popular DJs, Madonna, and the EDM scene in general.

Lastly, if after all of that you still want more to chew on in regards to this “live” EDM general concept/debate, then you should check out a solid article that DJ Techtools posted last week on a similar theme called: The Age of the EDM Rockstar
