Marshmello fans are roasting Deadmau5 for putting them to sleep at Decadence NYE in Arizona.
You can’t argue with facts such as the change in seasons, the continuous expansion of the universe or that there will always be beef between Deadmau5 and Marshmello. That sounds about right! Both of the helmeted producers have been known for their regular twitter beefsΒ and ever since it was revealed that Deadmau5 would be playing before Marshmello, or “opening” for him, we were curious to know how that would work out!
Deadmau5 had been booked to play a 75-minute setΒ and he used his time to play techno musicΒ rather than hisΒ regular live sets. As Dancing Astronaut noted, his set consisted of tunes such as Maceo Plexβs Solar Detroit, Ratioβs Elevation and more downtempo music.Β Rather than playing his big hits at the trap music event, Joel instead played “actual techno”, which Marshmello’s loyal fans failed to see.
Deadmau5 almost put me to sleep last night ?

But Marshmello had nothing but good things to say about Deadmau5’s set.
I listened to about 20 minutes of @deadmau5 set and I thought it was great. Nobody should get flamed for playing what they want. https://t.co/0yWTJ1HsH6

Deadmau5 also seemed pretty upset about the backlash received by EDM lovers who were waiting for Marshmello’s setΒ and claimed that Deadmau5’s set was β75 minutes of bullshit.β
alternatively…. you could… just stay the fuck home and realize, not guess, that i dont give a fuck. you bunch of fucking crybabies.

Marshmello fans really took the beef too far with their uneducated opinions about Deadmau5’s techno set. Maybe they were just looking for a more upbeat way to welcome the new year. This just further highlights how many music lovers actually believe in PLURΒ (Peace Love Unity Respect) and how tolerant EDM lovers are for other genres of music.
