DEADMOU5 A.K.A.  Joel Zimmerman

 

A man who probably needs no introduction, Deadmau5, a.k.a. Joel Zimmerman, is one of the most recognizable EDM DJs in the world. He’s famous for hitting the stage with his laptop and oversized mouse hat. His beats are wild and unpredictable, and fans flock to Hakkasan at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, where he is a resident DJ, to catch a live performance. Deadmau5 is one of the most talented progressive house DJs the EDM world has ever seen, and his music has truly made a lasting impact on every genre of electronic dance music.

Canadian DJ, Deadmau5, grew to worldwide prominence after topping the charts at Beatport.com with innovative hit after hit. Deadmau5 has a brilliant mind—his unique sound developed out of his groundbreaking use of digital technology. Instead of putting together a track list or using CDs, Deadmau5 uses computer software that he helped to program himself to create mixes in real time. This guarantees that no two performances are ever exactly the same. Days by the pool at Wet Republic and nights on the dance floor at Hakkasan are truly exceptional when Deadmau5 is behind the booth.

 Although Deadmau5 has over 7.5 million fans on Facebook and 2.3 million followers on Twitter, he has been able to crossover from the internet and reach a global audience. He was the first EDM DJ to make the cover of Rolling Stone Magazine, he was nominated for five Grammys, and he was one of the performers selected to participate in the first electronic music performance ever featured on the televised Grammy award ceremony. He has placed in the top ten every year for the last four years on DJ Mag’s prestigious list Top 100 list. It would be a

mistake not to catch Deadmau5 while he is a resident DJ at Hakkasan and Wet Republic in Las Vegas.
