5:34 Tommy "Only one person showed up" Joel "Yeah!!"

Here's a fact: Deadmau5 got his 4x4=12 album title while on a stream and him doing a calculation incorrectly, the chat then went on to lol at him and him deciding to name the album as such. yay.

"Fact #1" *tells like 96 different facts* "Fact #2"

Man, as a huge deadmau5 fan, thank you so much for this. So many people put out articles or videos without doing their research first, but you clearly did your research before putting this together. Really well-edited as always too. Keep it up, would love to see more

Somewhere in a parallel universe, the greatest synth on the market is called "The Steve"

Sonny is also credited for working on Raise Your Weapon, and Joel thanks him in the album credits of 4X4=12

Everybody loves Fruity Squeeze lol

Should of called it "The Duda" or "The Dude" but calling it "The Steve" just made me burst in laughter...

Very well made vid dude.

Deadmau5 also appeared in Goat Simulator lmao

that rave hair doe

really good research! the picture at 15:15 :D. deadmau5 said back then that he left this pic in the locker room or something after bieber handed him this.

This was extremely fascinating!

Dope. Loved watching the original tutorial and this one right afterwards while chilling back.

dude 11:48 when that beat kicked in and it clicked a city in florida, orlando, i'd legit never heard this story before and that made me laugh so much, been listening to joel for a decade and i've literally only just heard of that, that's hilarious

I remember FL Studio 8 having a loop of Faxing Berlin somewhere in the Packs folder.

I wish every top 10 was this long, I love how much this was in depth.

All these years i thought Deadmau5 had been inspired by the music of that demo from 1996. Notably that detuned melody he used to reproduce on every track. And now, you reveal to me he was in fact the original music author of that demo back in the day. Mind blown !

This man is a genius. Didn't realize how early his career started in music during the 90's

Wow... A City In Florida is one of my favorite tracks of his. What a story!

He's really inspiring made me wanted to start making music

Ok, so as a chiptune fan and tracker user I seriously appreciate how much you did your research on trackers and the demoscene, and I actually screamed internally when you said that Joel started out with IT II, that's awesome. However, I'd like to clarify that trackers are not necessarily an "early version of DAWs". Yes, they existed before _conventional_ DAWs, but nowadays there are a few (like Renoise) wich are both trackers _and_ Digital Audio Workstations. Trackers have come a long way since the 90s, so I'd rather call them a "different type of sequencer" in relation to a piano roll. It's just that most people get scared by their main UI before even trying them out, so they ended up becoming more of an underground thing.

The details omg, I'm amazed by your effort. Good job!

0:49 bad apple 💙💙

gut gemacht

Someone who actually put good research, nice

This was such a mind blowing video. I've been a hardcore deadmau5 fan for quite some time and there was so much in this video that I didnt even know! Keep it up 👍

Great video, Deasmau5 is not my favorite artist, but it was interesting to find out interesting facts about him!

Ever since the H3 podcast I’ve been looking for that picture of Justin Beiber threatening to kill Joel. So glad i found it

i like your editing style and aesthetics. love how much effort you put into it

14:17 _did vinesauce choose background music for this video_

These deadmau5 videos are fucking awesome. He's so under appreciated by so many noobs, I hope they come across this and change their minds of how he's a huge pioneer for "edm",

This is hands down one of the best videos I have seen about Joel!!! Thanks and keep on keeping on brother!!!

Dylan make more of this :0 you have developed so much as a youtuber and i love this!

deadmau5 beef is like hippo beef in the tribe discord server.

0:53 hell yeah, Bad Apple, as fresh as always

5:38 "Only one guy's shown up!" Wow he was the same guy back then. Such humble beginnings.

2:20 yo that synth sounds amazing

You really have dug deeper for this video. Love it!

Weird, i remember back in 2001, when i had my studio set up in a farm house in Scotland, i also had a mouse problem, it had made a home inside my studio PC and completely destroyed it too. It fried my soundcard and Motherboard with what looked like urine as well as droppings.I didnt find a dead mouse in my PC but one day i opened up my computer to install an extra hardrive, and the mouse literally bolted out of my PC and ran over my lap! I shit myself!!! The mouse lived but my PC died :(

Thank you for the incredible in-depth analysis and demonstration of the different ways that the VST-plugins alter... kick basic.

LMAO "a city in florida" *orlando* i never knew about that story and that so fucking funny. always just thought nothing of the song name.

sick video dylan, i enjoyed it

What up DT !! Great content as always

also we need to mention that Joel was classically Trained. He didn't just throw some melodies together and got lucky. He has a ear for this and he is a perfectionist, he hated his w/2016 album and almost everyone loved it, I liked it but its not my favorite and I did listen to it and felt it has a lot of similarities to other albums instead of being on its own.

this video was great. keep up the awesome content!

I love you for using the scary monsters and nice sprites MIDI version!

The effort you put into this video is greatly appreciated.

Pretty awesome video! As a huge deadmau5 fan (I have listened to Deadmau5 since his 4x4=12 album), this made me learn more about him! Thanks!

I kinda feel like this could have been a really cool hour-long video essay instead of a top ten list

love your videos man

I love the subtle strobe in the background at the start.

Woow! This is amazing. ❤️🔥

Dylan is the best top 10 channel host don't @ me

Excellent work Dylan! Thank you!

love these videos!

Been a fan for 10 years now since Faxing Berlin and indeed there were some facts i never heard of, really well done video.

Nice video dude! Very nice editing

Amazing video!!! Thanks for the inspiration

Absolutely love this. Always had so much appreciation for Joel and his craft

Thank you so much for the video and very well done at the research!

That processed kick gag is the greatest

Dude what a video..... really loved this

I can remember talking to deadmau5 in those chat rooms!! A long long time ago!!!

Idk how you make me chuckle so much but I'm not going to question it much

This was very interesting man and I'm not even a fan of his music but you can't lie he's had a interesting life. Keep up the great work man ! Do one on bassnectar

Almost 100k subs, keep it up man!

Best deep dive I've sen yet, on the Mau5. Also, great find with the origin of "A city in Florida". I had always wondered about that one.

this video made me love joel even more. such a legend, i could never know as much about music as him, lol.

Yo really cool video, good research you did there

Awesome content man. P.S The "stuck" ending was just on point

I love his music (and his "unpredictable" mood 😂) . What a mau5 😍

Fantastic video!!!

Good stuff, Dylan, my dude.

one thing I didn't know as much as I love everything he has done for music is he dresssed like those goth dancer kids memes lol

11:49 mark my words, I will find the person who took the time out of their day to make this

Great work! I'm a die-hard Deadmau5 fan and I didn't half of the things mentioned in this video!

This was dope! Would love to see a video on the reward is cheese / Jelo story!

His first released song is Revenge Of The Egg People remix

Cool vid Dylan!

Amazing video, so well edited and put together. Maybe you could do something similar to this about aphex twin in the future?

Great video!

Enjoyed this :)

one of the best

As a long time Deadmau5 fan, that has to be the perfect video on him of all time lmao

How to Dylan Tallchief?

It happens to me every Friday night 1:11

You are really awesome. this video is so interesting.

Nice video, and good research.

A City in Florida is one of the most banging tracks Joel ever made, BTW.

As a unbelievably HUGE deadmau5 fan, I found this video very interesting! Fascinated by some of the facts.

I think I'm gonna watch it again

>12:19 lmao proper paperwork, good reference

as a huge deadmau5 fan, i thought i knew it all. boy was i wrong. This was such an awesome video to watch and i learned a lot from it. thks m8

top notch fucking quality dude, never get lazy with your research, this is golden

impulse tracker, demo scene… story of my life. (plus scream tracker, fast tracker, etc). :)

Nice Video!

This is a fucking great video, I almost didnt click it because I was expecting the normal top 10 formula. Props

Do more of these videos

10:00 sounds like his 2012 track Closer!
