Deadmau5 is such a fucking hypocrite, he has gone on several rants about how much he hates Ultra and music festivals in general.

This was posted today. If Coachella hooks up with Creators Project again, they need to bring him back. 2:20 =

We take for granted how easy it is to make electronic music today. All the hardware and software tools available facilitate the creation of musical styles like hip-hop, house, and breakbeats, but we forget that once upon a time people made music from scratch and they understood the process of its creation thoroughly. What we’ve sacrificed for ease of use is a deeper knowledge of how electronic music is made. Thankfully we’ve still got Aphex Twin, the sonic shaman that reminds us with each project that, when you live and breathe the nitty gritty of sound, the product is 100% pure.

After so many releases under so many monikers, each establishing a new direction in his varied style, listeners have come to trust Aphex Twin to guide them into uncharted realms of electronic sound. That’s why when he plans something as outlandish and crazy as Remote Orchestra, we can’t help but follow him. Debuting in Wroclaw, Poland in 2011 and arriving in his native UK this past October, the three act performance finds Aphex Twin taking control offstage. The first act consists of an orchestra facing a screen and following visual cues as their conductor and sheet music. The second is a remotely-controlled piano swinging on a pendulum while playing an Aphex Twin composition. Finally, a piece referencing Steve Reich’s Pendulum Music.

In the trailer above, Aphex Twin’s team tells us a bit about the show, insist that it’s organized while admitting that it’s pure chaos, and dropping a few critical nuggets about British reality show star Joey Essex. Stay tuned for lots more on Aphex Twin’s Remote Orchestra.

"Ultra to me is the definition of insanity: Doing the same f*cking thing every year, expecting different results every time. It's fun and it's cool, and if you've never been, go. But if you are one of those dudes that go every year, it's like why would you go again?"

"Five hundred and ninety-five f*cking dollars for a ticket? Wow, someone is laughing to the bank."

"When they used to do it during the conference, it was awesome. But then there was some bullsh*t going down too. I'm not gonna say anything about anyone. But say you are a headliner DJ dude, Ultra will pay you X amount of dollars to be exclusive to Ultra, which I guess is alright if you are an A-liner ... [Winter Music Conference] used to be the Christmas for the f*cking DJ, because you go to Miami for a week and play up to eight gigs that f*cking week, easily."

"[a] p*ssing contest between dudes who played all over the world."

"It's like that for all major North American festivals ... Even if you don't want to, you are competing against the festival programmer, you are competing against the other acts, you are competing against the time slots."

some of the quotes

[Wazzzzzup928]

he's only played 2010

Wrong wrong wrong. He's played 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011. He didn't play in 2012 because he through a shit fit like he normally does at big shows. He is back again this year because the label he is signed to, Ultra Records, teamed up with UMF for the festival this year.

That being said I would watch him on the Polo Fields if nothing better was going on.

[igotmyxomatosis]

the only one i can think of is Smashing Pumpkins in '05 i think..the Police rumors were a late add thing. and mayyybe the Neil Young rumors in 2010, but was that a headliner?


this time of year is when we confirmed Paul McCartney, Portishead, The Killers, Muse, The Who, Arcade Fire..

i hope you are right because i would love those headliners, but is this really a "leak" though? i thought this whole thing got started because people were editing the pages or whatever.

honestly though, it feels like we are definitely getting phoenix as a headliner, YYYs as a sub, who knows with the stones, and im gonna go ahead and say we will add another year since 2006 that those french guys are missing from the poster

There's no fucking way Coachella will get Aphex Twin's Remote Orchestra. It looks like a technical nightmare.

i'll admit, there is no way to set it up between sets..they would have to have it set up in advance like the cube, but yeah..logistically it would be a nightmare.



fuck it, do it anyway GV!

Deadmau5 is such a fucking hypocrite, he has gone on several rants about how much he hates Ultra and music festivals in general.

He has to pay rent too you know.

[nbvcide]

hasnt' he been doing arena tours? or is that just in the UK?

[minivanonfire]

He "did it for the fans"...

"deadmau5 ‏@deadmau5: Well, I caved in... There was just too many of you guys asking me to play at ultra this year, so im doin it for you guys! viva la horde."

Remote Orchestra or not, I just really hope he's on the poster.

[nbvcide]

with a 2-hour set this time..

[RotationSlimWang]

He was a boring cunt the first time, much like everyone in this thread.

[guedita]

You sacks of shit.

[with_cheese]

hasnt' he been doing arena tours? or is that just in the UK?

I don't know enough about him to say.

Just think it's a really lame complaint. What value did he compromise? Playing a festival? Oh nooooooos.

If you're a fan of Deadmau5 then you should probably be happy about any show he plays. If not, then why are you wasting your breath?

[Drewski27]

Fuck Deadmau5.

[isnate]

Fuck this thread.

[obzen]

Not it.

[Drewski27]

Not it.

[kerby14]

this has to be the worst
