Speaking of Rusko... He's coming to Toronto with Crystal Castles, Sinden and Destructo.

Yay or nay?

I think I'm gonna go just to support Crystal Castles. See if they really live up to their reputation of being absolutely awful live.

I've never seen Avicii, what should I expect? I have no idea considering how varied his productions are. I'm taking some friends from out of town, is it worth it? Otherwise I'll probably hit up something else.

A lot of fun, from what I remember. He played a sunrise set at skybar over the summer. Comparable to Steve Angello in terms of song selection, but, again, my memory is pretty hazy. TIL would be a great place to bring friends from out of town, though, and it's going to be bumpin for Avicii for sure. You can bet on a lot of attractive women being there.

The news section of their own site says they are going on a world tour in 2010 or 2011 (at this point, seems more like the latter).

Well there was a massive ticket scam based around a Daft Punk world tour in 2009, look it up it's not hard to find.

That being said, Daft Punk playing with Phoenix is a pretty good sign that they'll be touring at some point in the future, after Tron comes out.

I've been lurking and I'm curious; could someone give a reason why deadmau5 is so disliked by this thread? I've always thought his stuff was okay but not offensively bad and have teased friends for being really into him. Is it just that he's perceived as mediocre but inexplicably popular and thus deserving of hate or is there some deeper reason to it.

Really annoying fanbase and a lot of dick moves that are well documented on the internet thanks to his nerdiness. You don't see this thread up in arms about Tiesto's bland music that he pumps out on the regular, for example, but every time Deadmau5 takes a poo poo the internet knows about it so it opens him up to a lot of hate. His life is highly publicized and highly observed so people like to poo poo on him because they think his music is unworthy of such a rabid fanbase. But it's just music, y'know? Who gives a poo poo? Why making a 'bad' song should be the cause for such outrage is beyond me.

Also, he snubbed threatis at a party once.

I am interested in getting into electronic music. I know about Ishkur's guide to electronic music but I am still not sure what I should try to listen to. I think though that generally I would like to listen to music that is more melodic. What electronic music should I try out that has a more melodic flow to it, as opposed to just constant looped bass and beats that don't have much of a melody to them?

Find a DJ you like and grab his mixes/podcasts

Okay guys, I'm pretty new to Electro House but my friend from Germany is gradually getting me into them. I'm not sure what the dos and don'ts are yet, so pardon me if I like some DJs that are particularly laughable.

So being a fan of Trance and the like, I had found Deadmau5 quite a while ago. I'm not so familiar with his older tracks pre-For Lack of a Better Name, but I'm a fan of most what I hear from him. I could see him being classified as "too mainstream" though.

Find a DJ you like and grab his mixes/podcasts. If you like trance and electro try Gareth Emery's podcast, it's typically really good.

Are there people not bored of that track already? It's repetitive as gently caress and overplayed. Hardly 'go down in history' territory here. It's just another anthem along the lines of 'Put Your Hands Up For Detroit' that will get forgotten about. One only got to 7 on the charts here, not particularly good when the most popular House tracks have been higher, or even number 1 like David Guetta.

I went to see Calvin Harris/Steve Aoki a couple months ago and they played that song literally within and hour of each other. On the same stage.

Both sets were crap btw.

How were sleigh bells live? I'd imagine something similar to Crystal Castles.

Thanks guys! I definitely agree with your suggestion of percussion, Im currently just using the built in drum kits in Ableton to make my beats so its limited.

Do you suggest sampling sounds from other tracks or buying those sample packs they have online?

The Vengeance sample packs are really cool. You can find them pretty easily on the internet. I've hear good things about Goldbaby too. http://www.samplemagic.com is good, and a lot cheaper if you're looking to pay for stuff.
