This is my first listen to this band and this type of music, having my primary roots in heavy metal rock. I came here accidentally and I find myself strangely drawn to this rhythm and beat and pleasantly disturbed by the different random note selections throughout the middle part of the song. Where does this type of music originate?
I cannot stop listening to this track even 8 years later... Really a master piece for me. The way the main theme goes in and out with such small variations producing so different experiences in my mind. Simply perfect, Sir DM5.
I think you're talking about an accidental note, a note that doesn't belong in the original key signature, but it still works. This song is in the key of F minor which contains these notes in order: F, G, A-flat, B-flat, C, D-flat, E-flat, and finally back up to the F. The key of F minor has 4 flats. In the main chorus, or whatever you call it, it has these beginning notes: F A-flat G C / F A-flat G C / but in the third set, it has this: F A-flat G (B-NATURAL) That B natural is the (off note) or the accidental you were probably thinking of.
He only acts like that to producers who make the most bland woodblock shitty fruitloop tracks and get payed and praised by millions who don't know a ducking clue on how easy there tracks are and how poorly made they are, example Martin Garrix-Animals, Joel started at the bottom low and went to the tippy top by his own knowledge of master producing and now overtopped by app using cunts who only care for money not the craft itself, I would be mad to!
But overall he is kind of snobby and acts like a jerk. But cares about his fans and does not see us as a ATM like most to would. he was maybe always a jerk,but ultra never allowed him to show his true attitude cause people would not like him as much, he was always so nice during the ultra mau5 days, maybe he was acting nice for the publicity.
***** i didn't really notice then, compare 2007-2012 joel to today, he's snobber and an ass then ever before, he just acted so nice in the ultra mau5 days. was it all an act?
he did an interview on how much he hated DJ's. and that really pissed people off because what he was doing at that time was generally just relying on ableton to sync the tracks. by just clicking his mouse.
Cheers on your purchase! Same thing happened to me, bought his 5 years of Mau5 randomly about 6 years ago and I have been absolutely hooked ever since. Slip is my favorite too! The bridge sections are just absolute heaven
@@hordemau5 a friend shared with me I Remember one evening about 4 years ago, and now I feel like deadmau5 is my favorite artist. His music is timeless and beautiful 😍
this song feels like: universal desire for being complete and returning to our source: the nothingness which is everything: the smallest in it's greatest expression of self, infinitely bouncing into existence - it's vastness makes me humble (and words can't do it justice..) + love
I feel like im in a huge crowd trying to break away and the melody is the tension. Basically like an escape. I really like how deadmau5 can let you paint your own mental picure:^)
I wonder why all deadmau5 tracks are so full of producers commenting asking to give them a chance...And I should know I'm doing just that. Maybe it's because somehow deadmau5 has inspired all of us.
I want to go back to 2008, a time where deadmau5 was a king of electronic music (actually he still is in my opinion), there weren't any minecraft or gta v kids, youtube had a good layout, stars rating... I miss those times so bad.
One of the slickest tracks ever. Heard this on college radio back in like 2007 and it got me into the whole dubstep-still-in-infancy stuff. All around groovy song and "genius" if I dare say. Subsequent deadmau5 doesn't even compare!
can some1 explain to me how this melody manages to sound ever so slightly off beat? is it a bunch of 4/4 bars followed by a single 3/4 ? i suck at counting timesignatures but i've always wanted to know how he breaks the symmetry in a genre that mostly consists of 4/4 or is it just an illusion because of where he puts the accents? amazing song even after almost 10 years!
Lookup videos on (and try to understand) 'Polymeter' ... btw there's a significant difference between that and 'Polyrhythm' and many people incorrectly use these two terms interchangeably. The reason the melody has this 'slightly offbeat feel' is that the song is in 4/4 yet the melody is in 9/16.. essentially there is an 'extra' 1/16th (8/16 is comfortably divisible wheras 9/16 is what's called 'co-prime' [the denominator doesn't divide the numerator]) note on each repeat of the melody, meaning that on each repeat of the melody it "Slip"s 'off by a 1/16 note from where the melody stated in the previous half bar. However after a few repeats he does leave an extra 1/8th note pause just to make sure every 4 bars it snaps back to the same place it started so there is order and chaos to the rhythm of the melody. So cool. I used to love this song years ago before I knew any music theory and it's amazing rediscovering it and understanding more of the nuances that have been put into it to give it it's unique and powerful effect! If you're wondering how to tell that it's 9/16 I would first try to understand how 7/8 feels ( count: 1 & 2 & 3 & 4 | 1 & 2 & 3 & 4...) then try to understand how 9/8 feels (count 1 & 2 & 3 & 4 & 5 | 1 & 2 & 3 & 4 & 5) then try both previous examples without saying the '&'s and you can feel an 'interrupted' quarter note rhythm... once you have 9/8 you basically have 9/16, it's just twice as fast.... with this melody it is like playing a melody note on the 1,2,3 and 4 of the 9/16 rhythm: "1 & 2 & 3 & 4 & 5" with each of the '&' beats and the '5' beat being silent. Once you have that understanding, play the song slow, (try 0.5 or 0.25 speed on YT) you can speak all of the beats 1 & 2 & 3 & 4 & 5 over the music and hear the melody notes hit on the 1,2,3 and 4..... hope this helps!! :D
It's not polymeter or poly rhythm it's just a pick up grace note on the melody put ON the beat instead of picking up TO the beat which is what we're conditioned to and used to hearing.
+R Gaxiola I don't mind ;) In a correct french, your sentence would be : "Le chat ouvrit les yeux, Le Soleil y entra. Le chat ferma les yeux, Le Soleil y resta."
+Breathe Carolina AJ No one should ever pass up the opportunity to listen to Get Scraped or Vexillology, they are superb and possibly better than most of his later releases.
Code Breaker ***** He was ripping on your grammar, but now he can rip on your spelling. And no, it's not the best comment ever...it may, in fact, be the worst.
I didnt like deadmau5 the first time i heard him, but came back 3 months ago and hes on of my favourites. The intro and steady build up are just part of his style, try things like Ghosts'n'stuff, or professional griefers, his more "mainstream" stuff but a little more immediate
So nice to see MEUTE bringing back attention to this masterpiece of a deadmau5 song
Masterpiece is the right word,
Eu cheguei aqui através de um vídeo do MEUTE.

The first time I ever noticed how well something was produced, it’s just so brilliant.
This song utilizes one of the best grace notes ever placed.
can you explain this? (i'm interested) :)
zandie12 I actually made a mistake, it's not really a grace note
You sixteenth note syncopation, or rather, just shifting 4 eighth notes around the beat
What I meant was that one note that's not really in key... It sounds amazing
I think you're talking about an accidental note, a note that doesn't belong in the original key signature, but it still works. This song is in the key of F minor which contains these notes in order: F, G, A-flat, B-flat, C, D-flat, E-flat, and finally back up to the F. The key of F minor has 4 flats.

This guy makes everything I would love to do if I was able to make music. That's why I fucking love his tracks
He only acts like that to producers who make the most bland woodblock shitty fruitloop tracks and get payed and praised by millions who don't know a ducking clue on how easy there tracks are and how poorly made they are, example Martin Garrix-Animals, Joel started at the bottom low and went to the tippy top by his own knowledge of master producing and now overtopped by app using cunts who only care for money not the craft itself, I would be mad to!
But overall he is kind of snobby and acts like a jerk. But cares about his fans and does not see us as a ATM like most to would. he was maybe always a jerk,but ultra never allowed him to show his true attitude cause people would not like him as much, he was always so nice during the ultra mau5 days, maybe he was acting nice for the publicity.

deadmau is the music you constantly want to be hearing throught your day, and life. the THEME MUSIC of your life!!
This song makes me think of time passing quickly
how fast was those 5 years?
@@evolevil1 how fast was those 10 months?
This makes me feel like doing some kind of diligent work and really focusing in the task(s) at hand
This masterpiece gets me every single time, thank you Joel!
Tbh this song is super creative, the fact that the main parts almost fall off the beat and then get back on is so cool
Genius -- His music is simply next level - The Pink Floyd/Bob Marley of Electro

He is The Deadmau5 Of Electro.
next lvl shit idd!

Me too both version are so nice...

Do you also do that to people you cross in the sreet?
Finally! I found it!! After 84 years, i can now rest peacefully... hearing this bangger!!
Classic. One of his best songs
This track is genius, I been listening so much mau5 mainstream music, but this and some kind of blue shows that he comes from underground. Genius
This song is criminally underrated!
@DeadMau5055 lol the sound of this song + the bass of the studios = absolutely amazing
Took a break for at least 6 years. Still soooooooo goooooooood.
Glad to be back.

OMG!! Memories!! How I miss them!! Makes me want to go back 2 years ago!!
I can't wait to go see deadmau5 in October 30th. ❤️❤️❤️
Barbie Gonzalez How was he?
You saw him on my birthday :D
How was it 8 years ago?
And how was it?
Man; EVERYDAY since I discovered this gem I listen to it.
Love IT!
Damn good stuff. Maybe he plays it Sunday at hard rock???
I feel like im in a huge crowd trying to break away and the melody is the tension. Basically like an escape.
I really like how deadmau5 can let you paint your own mental picure:^)
maybe he DJs the songs he creates in the dark
I feel you, there is definitely something restrictive about the song
Wow. Now that you put it that way....yeah! That's what it's like!!
I wonder why all deadmau5 tracks are so full of producers commenting asking to give them a chance...And I should know I'm doing just that. Maybe it's because somehow deadmau5 has inspired all of us.

Deadmau5 in no way sounded amateur at that time. He broke out in 2007 and dominated the beatport charts from 2007-2010.
almost forgot about those days
