Not to say he doesn't put on a good show, he does. But IMO there are other producers/DJs out there who just seem to have a better 'flow' to their sets. I personally just find him to be overrated and he's not my #1 choice for my listening tastes.

I've seen deadmau5 live and that's him exactly. Never understood why people enjoyed Strobe so much since half of it undanceable. I enjoy listening to it, and I love the long long songs with tons of buildup (his best album examples of that are The 16th Hour, Strobe and Right This Second), but not dancing.
There are dozens of producers and DJs out there who have better sets, but is their music catchy enough too? Does the atmopshere help get the crowd going? It's tough to make good music AND perform well.
Myon and Shane 54 are coming to Calgary next week. If you want to see a good set performed live, watch them or download their International Departures podcast. I think Andy Moor is coming again this summer too, and his mixing is top notch.
