There's a quote from Deadmau5 on wiki that I totally agree with. He basically rips on DJs because so many of them don't really create music. They basically just take stuff other people have done and mix it together.
Part of what I've found a little frustrating in trying to DL electronic music is that so few of the DJs are true artists and so few of them have actual studio albums. As much as I might enjoy some of the stuff they can do with other people's music I prefer to DL the artist who actually created the music.
I respect Deadmau5 that it is actually his music on the albums. I have his remix albums but not on my ipod because if I like the song on the album I'll listen to that one. I have no need for 10 other versions remixed by some other guy.
And save for the rare song I feel the same way about NIN too. I hate all the remix albums. I just don't like remixes in general really.

The first time I heard some chords was at EDC in LA last year and I almost lost my mind. It hadn't been released yet and he was mixing it on stage. That's another thing I love about him, when he performs, he's actually making music. He doesn't just throw in a cd and mix his songs together. If he passes out on stage (like he did last year at some show) then the music instantly stops.
Pretty cool stuff.
