Deadmau5 Talks About the “Fragile State” of Electronic Music in an Interview with CBC News

For Deadmau5, electronic dance music is at an interesting crossroad. “I think we’re out of subculture-land and into it’s own culture-land right now,” says the internationally renowned Canadian producer and performer, aka Joel Zimmerman, who is back in Toronto for the weekend’s Veld Music Festival

In the video interview with CBC, he talks about his unique, giant mouse-head branding, separating his onstage persona from his true self, dealing with fame and where electronic music exists now. “It’s at a fragile state right now… How much room on either side of the culture does it have to go, to be creative?” he said. “You could have now… a festival specifically for a subgenre of a subculture and it would have legs and sustainability to survive on its own, which is kind of cool.”

While peers like Skrillex are pushing the envelope to develop new electronic music offshoots, however, time will tell if these sidelines will endure or simply die out like musical fads of the past, he acknowledges.

Henry Fong, Mike Hawkins, Pablo Oliveros – JUMP! (Original Mix) [Preview]

Henry Fong, Mike Hawkins and Pablo Oliveros have joined hands under the Hysteria label belonging to dance music legends Bingo Players to release a brand new track called Jump! Keeping in line with Hysteria’s sole purpose of thrashing dance floors with wicked electro riffs and insane breakdowns, these three are toeing the line and seem to be bringing in the latest fad to join the EDM subculture, i.e, big room electro. Jump! is rather satisfying to listen to, using hard kicks and ferocious electro house coaxing the destruction of any festival/club crowd. Releasing on July 15th, check it out below:

John O’Callaghan & Orjan Nilsen – Crispy Duck (Radio Edit)

CS1479227-02A-BIG

Released earlier this year, by the Irish and Norwegian duo is not just some average track, it is “Delicious For The Ear” as the name suggests. It’s smooth and banging simultaneously at every second. This Progressive-Trance track is featured on John O’Callaghan’s Subculture 2013, which is a compilation of the best trance tracks by John, and was featured on A State Of Trance regular episode 596. If you are not a regular of the radio show by Armin Van Buuren, you could still hear it on A State Of Trance podcast episode 255.

The thing that catches the most attention is the name, “Crispy Duck”. Upon being asked, John had an interesting story for the title of the song. Both, Orjan and John, were in Australia on tour, where they had a dish called crispy duck at a Chinese Restaurant. The dish was devoured more often. And rest they say is ‘Awesomeness’. If you are a fan of Orjan’s previous works like Endymion and Copperfield, then you might just have an “Ear-gasm”.

“Crispy Duck” out now on Armada Music:
