Deadmau5, the New Sound in Dance Music
November 26, 2011 music No Comments
Former web designer Joel Zimmerman, better known as the dance music icon Deadmau5, brings audiences an experience they will not soon forget. Zimmerman’s skill with computers and other technology translates well into a sound that is nearly impossible not to dance to. Live shows draw crowds with throbbing beats and a stage show that leaves the senses reeling. Add in the Deadmau5 mask on the stage and on many audience members and concert goers feel lost in another world.
Zimmerman is dissatisfied and even offended when people refer to him as a “DJ.” Deadmau5 wants the world to know that the sound he creates transcends the turntable mixes that the term “DJ” brings to mind. Many consider Zimmerman both a technical and a musical genius. His talent is evidenced by the musician’s impressive collection of awards including a Grammy, International Dance Music Awards, and Juno awards among others.
Although Joel got his start in Niagara Falls, Ontario, his appeal as an artist extends across the globe with international tours and album sales. His innovative tunes take the techno sound to new heights. With more than a dozen albums and countless fans in every part of the world, Deadmau5 is likely to enjoy a long, prosperous life on the dance music scene.
