for some reason my comment showed up in another post so I had to delete it.
deadmau5 didn’t quite do a change of genre but he sort of just adapted with the times to the point that his older music is kind of unrecognizable. His first album “Get Scraped” is much closer in tone to “big beat” and would definitely fit if it were made by artists like The Prodigy or the Qemists, but even then has a few songs that are fairly instrumental and you would likely hear more of on “Where’s the Beat” and “There’s the Beat” like “Careless,” “I Forget,” and “Waking Up From the American Dream.” He pretty quickly switched styles to sort of dark, deep House and Techno with “Random Album Title”. Nowadays he sort of plays a mix of both, and even his modern songs like “Pomegranate” sound closer to a pop song and probably would’ve got him thrown out of the underground scene 10 years ago
Being a casual deadmau5 listener (although he does have some excellent music - “Take care of the proper paperwork” is a production masterpiece), I just want to thank you for your comment, I’m currently listening to Get Scraped and it’s incredible, very reminiscent of the big beat bands of the 90’s. Such a shame it’s not on spotify
