You can always count on Celldweller to bring it. The Detroit-based producer whose fascinations include fusing heavier elements of electronic rock into multifaceted layers of instrumentation and uncompromising baselines. With a heavy emphasis on dubstep, the mix still packs an exciting array of tracks that continue to keep the with as much energy as possible.

DJMAG is putting up their yearly contest of the top clubs and through our relationship with them, and the many new upcoming artist they promote every week, we are confident in saying Beta deserves a top spot on the list. One look at Celldweller is more than enough to make you think this is an interesting person. Aside from the edgy metal look, the sci-fi album covers, and an overwhelming dedication to his fans, his musical style is enough to spend a few hours talking about.
Seeing him live only made us more impressed with this sound, as hundreds of club goers switched back and forth from dancing to head banging. We had a chance to sit down with Celldweller at Beta Nightclub and talk about everything from to when he first heard about Beta to how he feels about his own music.
CD: It is not. I played the Marquis maybe a year ago, on a Tuesday night, and was really impressed with how vibrant the scene was. That was more of my rock iteration of my show which is like a DJ set meets a rock band. For a Tuesday night, I was pretty impressed at the Denver scene. Electronic music is thriving here.
TMN: Your career as an electronica artist is relatively young. What does it feel like to play at such a highly revered club such as Beta? So what I did is really complicate my own life. CD: It means a lot. When I found out that I was playing here, especially with Bare, I was really excited be here at Beta. And you can tell that people here are really into the music. TMN: We were just up there for your set and people were going insane. Do you feel that track was kind of a game changer for you?
CD: No. I actually just did it with no pretense. I just did it because I love both bands. I knew I wanted to do something, and I knew that the Sabbath song was wide open. I actually did it thinking no one would care. In a really short amount of time we started finding out that a lot of people reacted to it. We found out that Excision was closing out his sets with my track on his tour when he came back for his encore.

The problem is, I have a serious case of infobesity. The problem is you take in too much of that information and it does stuff to affect your decisions.
I am very familiar with The Music Ninja though, long before I was ever featured on it. It was really cool to see that on your site. TMN: Talk to us about how your style developed. We know that you started off with roots in hard rock and metal, but how did you come to fuse that together with drum and bass, dubstep, and psy-trance?
I think my fan base is so loyal because I do so many things. TMN: Speaking of your background, we have to ask — what are some of your favorite metal artists? A lot of the more modern metal, the screamo and stuff, just sounds like a throwback to the stuff I heard when I was kid. If I were to name metal bands they would be older bands. I knew a lot of the bands, but never really got into them. Actually what it is, is I like the element of the song. I want to hear a vocal, or some sort of a hook, you know?
That totally got sidetracked from your original question. I listen to a lot of really intimate piano music. TMN: Your music has been featured on numerous shows and movies. Is there one place that it was featured on that still blows you away? CD: Not blown away, but there has been some great timing. There was one time I took this girl on a first date, and we went to go see some movie.
CD: Ummm, what would it be? It would pry be some kind of mutt. A cross breed of like 50 different dogs. You can walk it, and it poops right in the right spot so you can scoop it up easily. You know?
