I don't get why everyone loves Deadmau5 so much.
Can someone explain?

I like Electronic music a lot. I don't like Electro-House, but I understand that a lot of people do and I'm not knocking it. I'm just wondering why he's practically the only one anyone ever talks about. Is it because of his popularity level? The mouse gimmick?
To me, his music sounds like standard stuff in that genre, but I guess I'm not really qualified to make the same distinctions fans will make.
Just wondering...

There's something different about him. Word Problems for example is just so intense and even through with repetition it makes the song feel highly constructed. I like how he makes the bass seem really deep in his songs. It feels like he's drawing out a piece of string out of your body shuddering from the beat.

This is true for so much of his work. Bad Selection is another prime example of this. The deep bass, which is always a crowd pleaser, is present throughout. The construction is different to most other producers however. In many tracks by other producers most of the intensity is created at the breakdown, and this builds to a crescendo until the drop, when the energy is released.

With Deadmau5, I find that the intensity is in the DNA of the song and will build to peak before the breakdown. At the breakdown, I find that suddenly I'm a bit lost and want the intensity back. When the track drops again, it becomes even more appealing but there's no release as we're back into the intense stuff. I guess you could almost call it an addiction because I grow to crave the intensity.
