Initially, I despised the dude. Once I got into some proper stuff (courtesy of a real cool guy) I started to dig it. Strobe is a mad song.
Although, I don't really think Deadmau5 is as unique as a lot of people claim he is. No doubt about the fact that his non-conventional musical upbringing has a lot to do with the way he administers those touches on his songs. He doesn't quite think like your average electronic DJ/Producer.
Also, yeah, another point, I've seen some live clips of the guy. He's not bad, but like somebody else said, he's a producer before he's a DJ.
Oh and yeah, just joined the forums today. Been listening to electronic on and off for ages. Actively got into it since a couple of months. I listen to a lot of rock subgenres too. It's good exposing myself to all kinds of stuff as a musician. Electronic music really teaches you how to smoothen your tracks. =)
