Deadmau5- Cthulhu Dreams

[@AlHartz]

Listening to this in 2023. I remember seeing deadmaus when he had no audience and djing on top of a white table. Good times.

[@belcha3]

Man coming back to this in 2019 is crazy. I remember bumping this in high school. I thought it was crazy how no one else at my high school had taste in music like me but go figure haha

[@patricks_music]

I always wondered why more kids didn't like EDM at my school too. I never really heard people main stream liking it til I was in college, and that was mostly due to it being in video games.

[@austinstoner1988]

Acid metal and all forms of edm hands down best music

[@he96765]

I got interested in EDM back in my high school years, none of my classmates liked this kind of music except me

[@dannyruiz4221]

Same for me. I got into mau5 back in 2009-10. I was in 7th grade. I got into DJing right after and ended up doing school events. I would mix in some edm here and there to see how everyone would react. For the most part it was “wtf is this shit, change the song”. Those same kids are now doing drugs at Ultra and EDC just to enjoy the music and fit in. Shame.

[@CARS_NI123]

no kids im my school apart from ehhh maybe 2 my mate liked deadmau5 stobe when he played the decks at my house a cupl days ago and this me and him are 10

[@EhZeeGee]

I used to have a 1 story house, but I placed my subwoofer in the center of my floor and put this song on. I now have a basement.

[@Owiko7]

+AdamZ Gluchowski I have a 2 story house, now it's a pile of rubble... in the basement... the second basement...

[@joelfontane6617]

+Owiko7 I don't have a subwoofer, I played this full volume off my phone in my living room. Now I have a mansion.

[@forksunlimited]

I played this in my Honda Civic. Now I have a Lamborghini.

[@botmaestro117]

I had a Lamborghini... Now I have a Honda Civic :(

[@Neotokyovibes-WelcomeHome]

sorry but is your profile picture from eyes: the horror game?

[@tamaryne489]

To this day and after many years such intensity still hits me in my soul, pure joy

[@mike_dunno]

that mau5head being so hazy and low resolution goes well with the creepy atmosphere

[@voyagerjs]

omg it does, the song feels alot more creepy with it now that you mention it

[@kentuckyunderwater2979]

this guy has no bad music

[@richardvaasone5658]

go back to spinnin

[@andrewjordan2004]

Id like to see you amount to the success hes had. Results speak louder then words my friend,I can name plenty of mediocre artist who don't have half the talent this man does and they are exactly where they should be.

[@kidinhisparentsbasement5596]

CONDESCENT are dumb your looking into the comment way to much he’s basically say he makes really good music

[@asimplepie2279]

CONDESCENT not everything is perfect but damn i cant get enough of his music. But I respect yo opinion 😉

[@steveerwin3980]

Actually, I agree with CONDESCENT, Kill The Mau5 was terrible to listen to.

[@cervichthyoquine]

Deadmau5 doesn't even like heavy shit and he still makes better wubs than anyone I know.

[@cranque-1]

Nico Amor he’s not the absolute best at heavy songs, but he’s got groove and stuff so he’s pretty good. He’s house, not dubstep or riddim.

[@Ghost.uppercut]

He loves heavy bass what? Lol

[@codownhill]

I still think of when he'd slap his ass (literally) to make the claps for his songs. This sounds like one of them lmao.

[@Rapido2311]

Love the kicks and claps.

[@g00zik97]

+Rappy sweet and phat, as always in deadmau5 tracks

[@g00zik97]

***** all i know is that deadmau5 makes his claps by smacking his ass to mic. It;s legit, just type "how deadmau5 makes his claps" on YT XDDDDD

[@g00zik97]

***** i find this fact kinda amusing xD

[@mattfaulkner1943]

+Rappy so the beat?

[@nothingexists9739]

he uses really solid drum samples, and cues the clap a little early so that the peaks of the waveforms match up.

[@AredioVani]

cthulus roar in the background gives me chills

[@erickarredondo231]

heard it too! 1:36

[@erickarredondo231]

heard it too! 1:36

[@PlatinumEagleStudios]

Aredio Vani The sound in the background at 3:38 could be Cthulhu's howl

[@manamemajeff6283]

HOLY SHIT YOU GUYS JUST MADE ME LOVE THE SONG EVEN MORE

[@CARS_NI123]

same

[@DominePiger]

I love these clock wind ups he uses in some of his build ups, it sounds so mesmerizing!

[@Acewingman11]

Every day deadmau5 releases a song it’s the best song made that day.

[@fennekinfox9819]

You know it's funny that Cthulhu sleeps is longer than Cthulhu dreams seeing as the dream cycle is the shortest in the rem cycle

[@tyronrossouw44]

Geeez this one hits like a ton of bricks, even the kick has its own aggresive feel

[@FffffffffffffffffffffffffffffL]

I've always been addicted to the song Cthulu Sleeps, how have i never found this masterpiece before? Had it on autoplay while i was working and i was taken aback by how good the song was. Had to come back and check what it was lol.

[@troyguinn303]

My subwoofer eats this shit alive. It's different to feel the mau5 kick you in the chest, good different.

[@durrantmiller8810]

+Troy Guinn what sub do you have?

[@troyguinn303]

Dayton audio sub-1500 (15", 150 watts) but my signal is running through a little bear P-3 tube preamp, before it hits my Dayton apa150 power amp. I've got 150 watts going to my left and right channels which are a couple Dayton B652's (with the AMT tweeters). 300 watts of damn good enough for me. My neighbors hate me and I love it XD

[@tyei9786]

+Troy Guinn lol long live the mau5 kick

[@vincecodalata2646]

At 3:08 If those are recordings of that low-frequency sound off of the western coast of Chile named 'The Bloop', then that's just fucking clever.

[@rasengan720]

they do sound a lot like it though... and if it is then that truly is fucking genius

[@benallan2328]

Vince Codalata That is absolutely brilliant if that is the case. Huge respect for Joel for things like this.

[@cybxrthrxxt2599]

He is a mastermind, so I say it probably is.

[@edmmaniac]

Ok so there's cthulu sleeps and cthulu dreams. Will there be Cthulu awakens?

[@Nicolas-hv9od]

No sound system will ever be able to survive a Cthulhu awakens

[@TheDarkVoid]

hot dog water what??

[@atlasglassworks9350]

It’s called 2020 my dude

[@saneshgobin4259]

Vecna vibes with the clock sound and the intro. Effing awesome

[@zorrio]

damn better than cthulhu sleeps i kinda miss that great progressive part in the middle of cthulhu sleeps

[@NurAlmuhtadi]

Same, hopefully if he makes a VIP version, it'll focus more on the middle. You mean 3:30 of course, right?

[@OMGITSSALSIFI]

Tu trouves ? C'est une de mes preferees ctuhulu sleeps

[@zorrio]

oui, le drop de sleeps pue le caca

[@Desekratedd]

Nothing beats that resonance part man..nothing.

[@neofox2526]

That's the only good part of Cthulhu Sleeps

[@delusionalantics]

This has been my wake up alarm for a couple of years now. I seriously never tire of this.

[@Emma-sc4hb]

Cthulu has awoken from his slumber and has now breached his dreams to the mortal realm, and along with him brought some of the sweetest sounding apocalypse ever

[@karolvareVO]

I like to imagine this playing in Cthulhu’s dream, obviously, while at the same time “Cthulhu sleeps” plays while he’s sleeping

[@ItsWompo]

0:00 - 4:14 is the best part of this song

[@austinstoner1988]

I completely agree

[@johnboykill13]

one of my favourite past times- scrolling through comments after reading one addressed to another person, then they respond and so on

[@hello7pm]

I'm here 6 years later to say I've truly appreciated Joel more now than ever because I produce music as well. It is severely underrated how truly talented he is. This is an insane version of the song that has disappeared from everywhere it seems. The original sample he used is not even really resembling it! So fvking good.

[@powerLien]

do you happen to have a copy of that insane version?

[@hello7pm]

I don't. This is where I found it. :_( I have the original Cthulu Sleeps via Apple Music / CD

[@Rippertear]

Hang on, there's another Deadmau5 Cthulhu song, other than Cthulhu Sleeps and Cthulhu Dreams?

[@danielramotowski5187]

I always come back to this. 10/10

[@CustomcrowdMitroc]

first deadmau5 song i ever heard when i was younger, came on randomly when i was on SoundCloud back in 2013ish now hes my favourite artist of all time

[@penggunasepertinyatidakdik4374]

I really love that Helicopter sound lol

[@Bdpsipyk]

The first drop is so unexpected and undeserved. I Fluffing love it.

[@smokeclvb6721]

Thank you for this, joel

CONDESCENT Thanks

[@joelfontane6617]

WasderNoob no this is what the voice says "I have, no delusions about, the legal problems I will have to face, just give me a few more minutes and I will, just a few more."

[@WetPuddle]

Lord Viru5 /Ash Wolf How do you know?

[@joelfontane6617]

CONDESCENT uh maybe the fact that I've listened to this song at least 200 times. And I've checked on my dj app, I slowed the song down and the words are easy for me to hear since I can hear low noises really well. Hell I bass boosted this track and its fucking epic dude.

[@ForjandoLabz]

This song brings back a memory about a day that I ran away from high school to go explore a forest, I put on this song and slowly entered to very beautiful places, it was my first trips with marijuana and I had the best trip.

[@prod-NC-17]

So far the best deadmau5 remix/mashup type thing Ive heard

[@Alextreme_713]

omg, I love the sounds in this. It really gives it an atmosphere.

[@johnmccracken6497]

Ah, love the atmospheric effects he uses all throughout the song.

John McCracken he's dreaming of the world the universe and he's driving mankind insane via his dreams.. a form of telepathy.. these are one of the many theories that are out there

I accidentaly hit the mute button, can someone explain why it even exists on a deadmau5 song?

[@highlifespearflower2701]

No. It really shouldn't be there.

[@joelfontane6617]

+Soundium I don't even know why KZbin allowed that to be there, it's a sin to mute a deadmau5 song, especially when it's Cthulhu. Don't anger him or you will suffer.

+Lorraine Khazrai Okay Lorraine, we got the point.

[@AGKaiju]

SpikePlayz As do all others who read this, doge. But in all reality, this was an angry song by Joel.

[@joelfontane6617]

+Kobra Ortiz I think Joel was pissed that he didn't win that Grammy award for 4x4=12 and this was the result of it. I wished that he would release this and more of his unreleased tracks.

The one song where "beat dropped harder than" jokes would actually be appropriate.

way better than cthulhu sleeps (IMFO) :) SO hard, agressive but still calming at some points...

I might be crazy, but in the intro and some of the later loops before the cutoff gets raised, it almost sounds like there's a Rhodes in the mix.
