Coming back to his best period 2008-2001, he produced music with a quality above everyone. He transformed the electro music and the EDM scene. He helped to create the dubstep sound in 2010 with Raise Your Weapon / One Trick Pony (on 4x4=12 album) and with Skrillex as open act in his US tour (and his first EP on mau5trap rec). He produced more then 300+ tracks in any style. He used analog instruments with big quality production (some of them in singles/EP).
Yes, i agree, when someone define him one of the best electronic music artist in the World.

A fine artist for what he is. Has a couple of great songs and good albums. There is no where else for his career to go to at this point. I don't understand the hate some have for him. There are far more offensive acts out there, I feel. All in all, he makes for a good introduction in electronic music. Just know when to find someone that is better if you're not feeling it...

If Deamau5 is the best then dance music is in very bad shape.
Deadmau5 would have to be one of the most unimaginative uninspiring producers alive today making the blandest copy and paste, garbage out there!!!

The first thing that you should note is that I am NOT a house lover ( I rather Prefer Breakbeat and Breakcore ) so don't take this comment as 100% unbiased.
I bought two of his albums ( 4x4=12, while(1<2)) and I have got to say, they are not that bad. Probably my biggest complaint about this guy is that some of the tracks (especially on the 'while(1<2)' album) are just a bit too repetitive, but other than that, it is all good. my favorite tracks by him are Animal Rights and Ghosts 'n' Stuff.

I will be defending Deadmau5 since I've been a fan of him since when he had a much smaller fanbase than he does now. As a fan of him for a long time, I must say that his style of music hasn't changed at all. Sure he may be trying out other styles of music such as electro and dubstep, but when he will make a progressive or tech-house production as he has done in the past, he will sound like the same Deadmau5 that I discovered a while back. It's hard to say as to whether he has gone mainstream or not, since he hasn't made crap for the talentless elite that rule today's airwaves; as was the case unfortunately for David Guetta. Regardless, I still see him as the same person that I began to appreciate when I first listened to Random Album Title and will continue to do so for a while.

Don't really fancy this dude. But he has millions of fans, so why should you care of my opinion?
