"Faxing Berlin" is an instrumental by Canadian electronic music producer Deadmau5. It was released as Deadmau5's debut single and is from his third studio album Random Album Title. On July 23, 2007, "Faxing Berlin" became the first release on Deadmau5's label Mau5trap.[1] The track was originally known as "Da Outer Limits", but was renamed to "Faxing Berlin" later on, during a phone call with Max Graham, when Graham left "to fax [something] over to Berlin".[2]

Composition

[edit]

"Faxing Berlin" is a progressive house song with a tempo of 128 beats per minute and is written in the key of D minor.[3]

Controversy

[edit]

In 2008, an artist called DirtyCircuit claimed to have been threatened with legal action after using the sample "LP_Faxing Berlin C_128bpm"[4] that came bundled with FL Studio, which Deadmau5 claimed copyright for. The sample was a direct clip of a full bar of the song. Deadmau5 provided a demo track that came bundled with FL Studio, along with several loop samples. The case caused a slight discomfort among the users of FL Studio,[5] some of which have pointed out potential inconsistencies in the EULA of the software.[4]

One thought on “Cannabaceae

  1. Well, that’s interesting to know that Psilotum nudum are known as whisk ferns. Psilotum nudum is the commoner species of the two. While the P. flaccidum is a rare species and is found in the tropical islands. Both the species are usually epiphytic in habit and grow upon tree ferns. These species may also be terrestrial and grow in humus or in the crevices of the rocks.
