Just PSD, like I did.

I've seen Deadmau5 with my teenage son a few times.  Pretty sure I was one of the oldest folks in attendance:)

Not my first choice in music.  But when you gaze across a sea of people, and they are all throbbing to the beat, I totally get it.  I don't think you get that same level of audience cohesion at a typical rock show.

Crank it up and enjoy the drop!



I'd love to see the dead maus live and zone out even at my ripe age :o)

It's a shame you did, it's not my thing either but I gave it a solid 6 in the spirit of eclecticism, the guy is a great DJ!

Not the song but it seems it was a Hardwell concert (source).  Here is a video where you can hear a bit of the song anyway and get a slightly extended version of the gif to boot.



Thank you Jayesea!!

I have a solution to political polarization in the USA.

We sent every American adult a copy of this album along with a 2-week supply of MDMA.
This is like Jean-Michel Jarre meets Koyaanisqatsi. You'll have your own view on whether that's a good thing or not.
Wonderful way to get my morning started!

Point taken, but music for dance clubs is best left to dance clubs and raves.  Bill clearly enjoys a "techno lane" that doesn't always resonate with me and this tune definitely falls into that category. 

The throbbing of a crowd to a techno beat is similar to the bobbing and swirling of the crowds at a Dead Show.  It's indicative of communing with a force outside of yourself.  Music is math; math is the language of the cosmos; therefore, grooving to a beat is jamming with the stars.    
Not bad all things considered, though in terms of electronic music I prefer M83

Thanks for your mindful dissent...

'Aweful' isn't a word.  Unless you were kind of trying to imply that your racket is full of awe...which hunh?

Errr...an excellent example of the dumbest sort of comment on RP.  

Firstly, profanity...we all need more of that, for sure; and it makes everyone sound super gritty.  Secondly, makes zero sense.  Even if one were to change the OF to an OFF, it doesn't fix the lack of a logical argument.  What is supposed to off your computer?  Your cat?  This song?   Try creating an actual sentence.  Thirdly, all caps...cause yelling is cool.  Or did you just never learn how capitalization is supposed to work?

Maybe you don't like edm...sure.  It's a personal choice.  But merit is subjective...in the meantime let me suggest an edit.

"This track isn't my thing.  I find it jarring and out of place.  I'd prefer it not to be playing on my computer right now as it's making me very angry."

"Audience cohesion". The reason is chemical: it's called MDMA.
So much to this production wise.  It's not a 3 piece rock a roll band but that takes nothing away from Joel's obvious musicality and mastery in the mixing room.   Headphones highly recommended
This is awful.  Luckily, Bill usually redeems himself with the next song!
A bit discoy, isn't it?
Great transition from Talk
As the song begins, I feel like I'm in Logan's Run undergoing surrogation.

Epic 
Never ever would I have... so THANK YOU!
I love playing this for my neighbors. Thump thump thump
This one took me a while, couldn't get passed the opening 30 seconds that made me want to hit the player with a hammer BUT, trusted Bill and now I'm enjoying it (esp the bass drop) - this would have been epic in an early 90s rave 
makes me wanna hear some Maya Jane Coles....and perhaps attend a rave....
How can you not like this? Get your soother

MDMA ... The "glue" that gives this audience it's cohesion

if you gave everyone a dose of the same drug you would get this kind of cohesion at any concert

Not my thing but does remind me a bit of Kraftwerk and Tangerine Dream
I think the needle's stuck..?
This driving beat played loud on my Onkyo and large floor speakers gets the adrenaline going. Thanks RP for the constant variety.

Well, feel free to try it then...
Don't like the pounding disco beat. Ever.
A seriously clubbing chigger…

I love how eclectic RP is. I'm loving this! Whenever my gf asks me "What's this, I like this track?" the answer is "Radio Paradise!"
OMG!! What happened to Bill? Has RP been taking over by at loose raver?  I love the shake-up! 
WOOOW, Deadmous, thank you RP
Bit too long where there's nothing going on, did they run out of ideas?
When I was younger, I would only listen to "music with guitars in". Now I love all kinds of music. This included! Solid 8

I believe this is a clip from the movie Vice. Regardless, the clip and music can be heard in this YouTube video.

I’m grateful that you use PSD too!  Lots of folks seem to groove to this track so I’m glad we’re all here!  

haters gonna hate, but real RP lovers PSD and move on.

This song is a reminder to keep your REAL friends (if you acually have any) close, and your enemies - of which you'll have MANY after time on time this site. They kind of cluster and suckle.  That's the best way to describe it.

Why does he constantly play this song? I love the genre but this is such a dated, repetitive sound that doesn't really evolve. It's a shame because Deadmau5 has such a large body of work and collaborations.
I thrive on deadmou5. Love it! Thanks Bill
Sitting on my couch, head bobbing
Y'all have to see it like that: After a song like this, Tom Petty kicks much more than after Dire Straits..... so: Change is important. I like these changes in RP - thanks, keep on!

What I really do like is the fact that RP plays eclectic music, so I never get bored.
 
Thanks, Bill.
 YEAHHHHHH!!!!

1 just doesn't go low enough, this irritates me enormously. But hey thankfully RP has other options for the next few mins :)
keep RP eclectic, a bit more electronic music please :)
every DJ has his bad days. This day is quite bad...

Funny you should say that. I live in a flat and I tried using JMJ's music with a very beefy subwoofer (acquired just for this purpose, I otherwise don't like base) when the lockdown started to "annoy back" my lousy piano-wannabe-player neighbour and the crazy family upstairs (I am otherwise very quiet myself, so lockdown with annoyingly noisy neighbours was definitely no fun). I like JMJ but it just wasn't enough for this job. One day I heard this song on RP and I said to myself "this is it"! Used it and a few other deadmau5 "songs" ever since, whenever I get woken up waaaay too early in the morning by the commotion upstairs. It doesn't stop it but at least I can't hear it anymore and I don't start the day already mad, I start it "even" 😈
There's a London Grammar track with the most incredible 'carrying' bass that gives the impression of a large truck parked outside - its on the rotation, so you'll feel it when its on...

I love Knocked Up.  Childish, moving, poignant and hilarious.
In addition to the other electronica artists noted this reminds me of Tangerine Dream...kind of pioneers of electronica .  (May have been noted earlier in comments but I only checked back so far...)

Listening to this song Hi is bliss!
I just hear so much of Vangelis in this (and that's a good thing).
I'd take Daft Punk over Deadmau5 but it's a nice change of pace regardless.
That is some bass line.
