He mentioned madeon before they collaborated and he is a future god
I mean they have been friends for 11 years
lol yeah they've known each other since they were like 14 and 16
Brent 12 and 14
They are old friends.
They are friends
Politician answer. BOOM!
this guy looks like he will release a great album in 2021 called nurture
I think what makes Deadmau5 so revered is the creativity behind a lot of his song's melodies. Maybe that and how he pioneered a new sound
Jay Mazella people can say what they want deadmau5 is still a god
Madeon is 18 then.
Yes! The man himself invented Complextro. Very nice genre btw...
wish it still existed
@@s8v1 wut existed?
@@djlaace1334 complextro
@@s8v1 b-but, it still does...
@@djlaace1334 but people don't make it anymore
So true Im trying to get my live setup up to the level and quality they have and do something even more.
Porter Robinson created the WORD COMPLEXTRO?!?! WTF?!?!
nope he was 18 at the time, his birthday is the 30th of may, he turned 19 this year
Saw porter robinson live in the arches, glasgow on 20th October
Fucking unreal
POLITICIAN ANSWER, BOOM
exactly right bro i hear you. That song was the first time id ever heard samples being mashed up and tweaked all together all crazy. I was like "WHAT IS THIS?!"
Basically, make the music you want to, rather than what other people want
So that's how you pronounce Madeon
I love fuse :3
I Love PR and Madeon... :')
dont get me wrong. i am a fucking huuuge fan of gaspard and xavier but honestly what they do on stage is not all that unique. i mean the giant module on stage is a completely fake prop. but how they mix and mashup their songs live is sick as fuck but what they do live is not that much different than what most people do. they are still my all time favorite duo without a doubt
peace!
Politician answer BOOM!
What's technical about it (legitimate question)? It looks like he just uses a bunch of CDJs to mix prerecorded MP3's. Deadmau5 (and Daft Punk) are the only ones with enough balls to tour with the actual hardware synths used in a song's production and tweak parameters live. Deadmau5 has said that his non-unhooked sets have 17 channels of audio being pushed. He can tweak nearly every parameter of his productions, live.
Madeon is a fucking god.
this is all funny, he presses play and dances!
what do those artist do that he does not?
don't hate the mau5
exactly. what afrojack does is the same simple act that all these big electronic artists do
porter=cool-ute-ness
:58 skrillex advice :)
Omg I love him
doesn't change the fact that he makes indrecible music
2:21 did something bite him? XD
cool
ya, that's why deadmau5 himself admits that he doesn't dj lmao
his awkward moment of 2011: "being nominated for dj mags top 100 dj's when i don't even own a pair of cd jays"
you've gotta be fucking kidding me
Then you know what I'm talking about! haha. It isn't an extreme skill. The skill part of DJing is all in the technical abilities and yes, vinyl DJs are the ones that excel there. But saying that DJs are "button pushers" is completely ignoring the "feeling" aspect of the live performance. Sure it isn't a quantifiable and measurable skill but it's still an integral, if not the most important, part of DJing and anyone who calls themself a DJ but can't tune into a crowd is a "button pusher".
2:40 that guy with an ipad lol
MADEON!!!!
Umad bro?
who the fuck dislikes this?!
politician answer! haha porter you da best
18 ,but i guess that changes nothing about what you said lol.
Madeon
madeon
calling B.S. on that. What makes him so revered is that his audience is to young to know that he is not actually doing anything new. I wouldn't say he is copying as much as using the typical dance music formulas. He walks a well worn path. Even his mouse head was ripped off from Takashi Murakami a very famous japanese artist who was referencing mickey mouse in a twisted psychedelic way with his Mr. DOB character.
Skrillex&Porter Robinson= SCRUBS!!!!
he just needs to learn how to hold a microphone, then he'd be sweet!
politician answer BOOM! ahahahahahahahahahahahaahah
Seems Porter Robinson is a little, 20 y.o intellectual, interesting...
Glorified button pushers lol, we go to enjoy the music so people shouldn't really give a fuck about anything else
no
Deadmau5? Maybe I just don't understand it. I have a pretty extensive music background: classical music training, lots of music theory, some music composition study, been listening to electronic music for about 15 years now. I just don't get Deadmau5. Everything sounds boring, unmusical, uncreative, and repetitive. I confess that my knowledge of sound synthesis, mixing, and mastering are lacking (though I'm working on those). Is that the artistry of Deadmau5? Just don't get the hype...
wow what a cutie, and really well-spoken too
Porter seems like a real humble guy, very down to earth, and so talented!
"Saying that DJs are glorified button pushers is like saying sex is just an up and down motion. It takes the magic out of it"

I KNEW when he said there was someone younger, it'd be Madeon haha
just saw Porter at his Second Sky festival this past weekend. Madeon played right before him on both days. It's awesome to hear him say in this 2012 interview that you shouldn't pander to an audience and instead follow your artistic vision. he clearly has followed his own advice since this interview. Love u Porter
GO MADEON!!!!
this is a good interview and the interviewer does a great job at doing her job asking key questions.
Deadmau5 is cool and all
But he's a major hater...towards everything
"Glorified button pushers"?
I'd like to see him do what afrojack, Tiësto, Armin, Alvaro etc do
That's major hypocrisy ....
haha i love porter, haha he sounds smarter than i thought he would be. hes a amazing artist!
The respect he has for Madeon till now is amazing! ♥
But it's safe to say that what Afrojack does isn't really anything special at all and Deadmau5 his sets stand out because he actually brings a whole fucking studio and one amazing lightshow every time.
thats pretty good for his nothing to be ashamed of. i am 19 and i am barely getting started at producing and porter and madeon are younger than me and are some of my biggest influences.
Madeon, only one of the best artists ever!!
and now you've made her a victim.of vandalism!
Heh heh heh
100% IN THE BITCH
Porter wasn't the first to make that complextro sound. Wolfgang was as you rightly said but Porter did come up with the name.
Have you heard of Antigon Moore?? Are you really sure Wolfgang Gartner started the Complextro sound?? Because at that exact same time Firepower was released, Antigon Moore had some complextro tracks too
same! twas amazing night.
Allright i don't want to offend you here but Deadmau5 does not play his moogs n stuff live. He might throw a little live things in here and there but the majority of his sets are pre-written music. Like any other dj plays. The only difference is that Deadmau5 is a gadget freak and wants to define himself from the rest. If he'd use CDJ's he 'd just be like all the other ones which he doesnt want. Pretty sure he could do what he does on some Pioneer decks tho.
Even if its not technical at all, its better than most acts out there Since Armin actually mixes decently live (even if it's just mixing). Guetta's sets feels fake (even to non dj's), Skrillex cannot mix for shit (trigger finger abuse, and two crates with equal songs on both sides is not mixing, no adjusting bpm, etc.) What's technical about it I don't know (not that big a fan), but definitely giving mad props to Deadmau5 and Daft Punk for their incredible work live, which I get to see soon :)
are u fucking kidding? do u know how complex his sets are?? he brings giant module racks on stage with him and plays moogs and virus ti's live and has everything routed through to his analogs. do u know how ballsy that is let alone difficult? daft punk and deadmau5 are the only people that refuse to take the easy way out of playling live music, regardless of whether difficulty makes a difference, but just for the love of music.
what is the deadmau5 comment, and idea under that? i didnt really get that part.
what did he say about what was Skrillex's advice? can't really understand :/
Then you are a producer NOT a DJ. Go out to some underground clubs and listen to DJs who have been doing what they are doing for 10+ years. Then you will hear what a real set is supposed to sound like. You will notice the way the DJ connects with the crowd and teases them by playing with tension and release and knowing what they want to hear and how they will react. Pushing play and adjusting tempos is like the middle school of DJing. High school and college are all about track selection.
He's a weird guy in person and he acts like a prude.
Serum
I don't recall your name being Porter Robinson?
He's really bad at talking into microphones.
who did he said, was younger than him?
This this this this this fucking this.
wish he gave a non-politician answer to the last Q
damn he sucks at using his mic lol
Porter robinson has made times remix one for my father I know him personally *sold on* xD
Definitely, I'm not hating on Armin at all. He's a great producer and while I haven't seen him live, I've heard good things. You can be pressing 1 button or 50 buttons; all that really matters is that the show is good, regardless of how you got there imo.
madeon is only 17?! Thats fucking insane! Thats one talented kid!
I fucking love this guy, one because he is from North Carolina :D And 2 because his tracks are just plain fucking amazing. MY dream is to make a track with him one day.
The term "dj" has developed many meanings over the years. From being just a guy who puts songs on via turntables, to someone who actually mixes and remixes them, and to someone who actually produfes their own tracks/songs. I think deadmau5 was talking about the first type, not the second and third (which Laidback Luke is).
stop slouching Porter!
There are hundreds of millions of videos on youtube buddy. You're going to have to be slightly more descriptive than "the video".
im pretty sure hes wearing a shirt with masonic references 7 pointed star ,the sun on right ,checkerboard floor ,the eye at the top
My Name is Porter Robinson and i am never ever ever, going to hold this microphone still
MADEONNN
like when im drunk playing with the volume knob to annoy my girlfriend
Looks don't mean everything my friend.
Silly porter didn't coin complextro, Wolfgang Gartner did.
Even knowing he actually built that genre since the beginning...
Nice!
shout outs to Madeon! Kid fucking owns!
Porter invented complextro? OMG that is sick! >mega fanboy n shit here
Well, he did :)
"It's just you know, it's...it's...IT's 0-0" xD
Wow really nice!
3:10 Politician answer boooom! lol
