to those that dont understand why Deadmau5 is not a DJ.. a DJ spins discs, sometimes discs of their own music but mostly music made by other people. Artists like Deadmau5 however, use real and digital instruments and record the sounds said instruments have created digitally (on a computer) and use workstations like Ableton Live to play back the sounds at the push of a button, giving the artist the ability to mix the song in new and original ways live. i create music the same way as Deadmau5 does, and believe me.. DJs are very different.
i like dead mou5 because he doesn't just do dub step and stuff he does trance and progressive house and electronic, he has such a wide variety that it makes it worth listening to him because you dont know what you could here next.
It is a sandbox game with gives the tools and the world for the players to create what ever he/she can imagine. I personally like open ended games that lets you play around, explore and discover new things and ways to do stuff.
@djicoubiti sorry but no he asked for the song at 1:49. the one in the beginning is reward is cheese but the one at 1:49 is sometimes things get, whatever
ive noticed thats why deadmou5 is so sick. he masters and mixs and produces his own product. you can tell cause he doesnt collaborate with many people.
Talent and hard work is shown here. He's right. You don't just learn how to do all this stuff over night. It takes years of technique and knowledge whether you're drunk, high, enlightened, sober... dude sells out, man. People can coast and complain all they want. The dude's a genius.
@scratch189 lol so does every other black kid in my school, but anyways. deadmau5 creates his own music, he does not take other songs and "remixs" them. he is what you call a producer and a verry good one
@dexdexaa The song is called The Reward is Cheese by Deadmau5 and Jelo... Did a quick Shazam on it and Spotified it to check and it's indeed a big ass tune!
He has his own live show and plays all of his own songs live, or songs that are on his label. He doesn't play random dance songs that have nothing to do with him. DJ's play lots of random songs.
@TheKayasto "gear head" is a term that applies to musicians too. Just look at any audiophiles. Check out The Gear Page and you will know what I mean...
@xSavageBeatz i dont understand why people on youtube have all seem to had a very stressful day and are taking it out on each other. and also, he doesn't use any dj equipment at all in any of his work. he never uses turntables. just because he mixes his stuff live doesn't mean he's a dj. that's like saying daft punk are djs
It's hilarious reading the comments, not that I disagree, but, yeah we all know he's not a DJ. (Well most of us) but why did he allow himself to be in a videogame called DJ Hero2? Which has him as himself, DJing, in his own character. Yeah I know, just a game, but he really set himself up for everybody to call him a DJ because of that move I believe.
@usbacer23 basically... he presses ****loads of buttons and turns loads of knobs to get sounds... then makes music with them... and makes it look really easy... he has a ustream page you should visit when hes randomly broadcasting from his studio webcam, you'd be supprised how technical making this sort of music is... well, it supprised me :)
@BlackHawkRob Well, I think he's the one who revolutionised the world of djing, a normal person that just using creativity and not caring about what some fucking dudes say - as everyone should do - has become one of the top world djs. Of course he's the best producer, but you can't say he doesn't know how to rock the crowds, he really has very good skills. Dj or not, as you want to consider him, he's the best.
@beanodonnell gear head means technology lover, not just cars man, if your a gear head it could also mean you love new music making toys like deadmau5. ;-)
@oopo1 sounds like somebody else sees music the same as i do. i believe, in order to view music in this manner, you have to appreciate and accept all types of music, whether you personally like the genre or not. recording and mastering arent everything, but are definitely main keys to successful music production. anybody can talk bad about the mau5, but none of them can accomplish what he has in such short time, nor be able to, ever, as long as they do nothin but diss others PROFESSIONAL music.
@jimtheadoremorrison well yeah, the only thing he DOESN'T do is scratch vinyl and mash up songs that aren't his. He DOES do the rest of the stuff DJs do (effects, crossfader, etc.) and THEN SOME. That's all I was saying.
"DJ Deadmau5". What's next, DJ Daft Punk and DJ Skrillex?
That awkward moment when someone calls deadmau5 a 'DJ'.

Not all Dj’s spin disks, they can mix, etc.
ok wise guy nice to know
2009... Man those were the days.
2:00 looks like he fell asleep
i like dead mou5 because he doesn't just do dub step and stuff he does trance and progressive house and electronic, he has such a wide variety that it makes it worth listening to him because you dont know what you could here next.
Wow. This is old as fuck. He doesn't even have the space invaders tattoo yet.
Fall 2012... still amazing and being a legend
Pfft Christmas... just saw him in Edmonton for New Years... that man can put on one hell of a show... wow, still recovering after that party.
i had no idea so much went into dubstep. i already love it, but i appreciate it a lot more after seeing this
ah, this is my fav mau5 interview, his skill just shows brilliantly
It is a sandbox game with gives the tools and the world for the players to create what ever he/she can imagine.
I personally like open ended games that lets you play around, explore and discover new things and ways to do stuff.
Hes so blazed.
I love how he still goes on streams to his fans even though he doesnt need to now hes rich as fuck and most popular dj arguably
True, his streams inspired a lot of mau5traps artists tho. Kindrid for example.
deadmau5 for life
@djicoubiti sorry but no he asked for the song at 1:49. the one in the beginning is reward is cheese but the one at 1:49 is sometimes things get, whatever
Deadmau5 is fantastic!
knows his stuff
ive noticed thats why deadmou5 is so sick. he masters and mixs and produces his own product. you can tell cause he doesnt collaborate with many people.
Talent and hard work is shown here. He's right. You don't just learn how to do all this stuff over night. It takes years of technique and knowledge whether you're drunk, high, enlightened, sober... dude sells out, man. People can coast and complain all they want. The dude's a genius.
would've loved to see a full interview
@OMACMedicFiveZero He's DJing right here. I appreciate your differentiation between the two but what he's doing live is DJing tracks that he produced.
My life is complete now that I've found the mau5...
Best Electro/House Producer!!!
@CornBananas No, its not "The Reward is more cheese." Its, "The reward is cheese." They're both two different songs, don't get mixed up! C:
happy new year mau5 :)
i remember watching this as a 7-8 year old kid. it’s so funny watching this now cuz now i actually understand most of what he’s talking about lol
he's not a dj, he's not an artist either. he is a GENIU5
Hes a producer... he creates his own music from scratch, A DJ takes other peoples tracks and mixes them around .... Deadmau5 is God :)
i cant get enough of the beginning
"don't call me a DJ or i'm telling!" -deadmau5
You're a very, very wise man.
@Zephyrdia He isn't a DJ though. DJ's mix other people's tracks together, but deadmau5 produces how OWN music that HE makes.
woah everything he said went over my head...
awesome.
'Sometimes Things Get, Whatever' - first song on the record "Random Album Title"
He's lit.
Merry Christmau5!
At least he has a song about it: "Sometimes Things Get Complicated!!"
my god, this was before he was popular, thats cool
He always looking down when talking, deadmau5 if you see this, look right to the eyes when talking.
@Raidas165 No DJ's remixes the music into each other so that the music never stops, that's what he does.
@scratch189 lol so does every other black kid in my school, but anyways. deadmau5 creates his own music, he does not take other songs and "remixs" them. he is what you call a producer and a verry good one
ogod i love him
That Monome looks SO fun.
@dexdexaa
The song is called The Reward is Cheese by Deadmau5 and Jelo...
Did a quick Shazam on it and Spotified it to check and it's indeed a big ass tune!
@dexdexaa
I believe it's called "Cheese is the Reward", or "The reward is Cheese"
There's rewards and cheese, definitely.
DeadMau5 is a genius!
deadmau5 is the best !
deadmau5 FTW
He has his own live show and plays all of his own songs live, or songs that are on his label. He doesn't play random dance songs that have nothing to do with him.
DJ's play lots of random songs.
at 1:05 that was the noise you make in minecraft when you die. hahaha

he is a DJ because he is on the DJ MAG TOP
It's hilarious reading the comments, not that I disagree, but, yeah we all know he's not a DJ. (Well most of us) but why did he allow himself to be in a videogame called DJ Hero2?

The song in the beginning is "The reward is cheese" love that song :D

Amazing dead mouse!
LOL at 02:00 Joel is asleep, and the guys life fuck it switch the segment.
Everytime I buy deadmau5 songs off iTunes i have to double click the name and change the D to a d.
@usbacer23
basically... he presses ****loads of buttons and turns loads of knobs to get sounds... then makes music with them... and makes it look really easy... he has a ustream page you should visit when hes randomly broadcasting from his studio webcam, you'd be supprised how technical making this sort of music is... well, it supprised me :)
I can't wait to get a Monome!!!! WOHOO! XD
deftones in the background = win
Yea, press those buttons!
Dj Deadmau5 Is a Dope Head
"its a culmination of 10 years of screwing around..." fucking true when it comes to sequencers.lol.
@BlackHawkRob Well, I think he's the one who revolutionised the world of djing, a normal person that just using creativity and not caring about what some fucking dudes say - as everyone should do - has become one of the top world djs. Of course he's the best producer, but you can't say he doesn't know how to rock the crowds, he really has very good skills. Dj or not, as you want to consider him, he's the best.
@ChevinTM The song @ very beginning is The Reward is Cheese. Other than that it's Sometimes things get, whatever.
woah, i want a monome, that is cool as hell
He defines himself as a DJ and record producer.
love his immitation voice. press 3
deadmau5 is such a nerd i love it!
@TranceForTheFuture It's cos its about 2AM and hes just been performing for hours.

Of course there would be magic tricks as related videos. u know why cause Deadmau5 is awsome.
Song at the beginning sounds HOT!
@LiquidChem Dude...Firefox and Adblock Pro. Never have to deal with ads. It's wonderful.
@studiojohnny thank you.
@beanodonnell gear head means technology lover, not just cars man, if your a gear head it could also mean you love new music making toys like deadmau5. ;-)
@Rallmau5 "the reward is cheese" and "sometimes things get complicated"
He is NOT a dj. he is a producer who goes onstage with his works.
@ThESToNeDSTuDeNT It's the breakdown of a track called 'Sometimes, things get whatever' there's a link to it on the right ->
deadmau5 is Mozart of the electronic world
@oopo1 sounds like somebody else sees music the same as i do. i believe, in order to view music in this manner, you have to appreciate and accept all types of music, whether you personally like the genre or not. recording and mastering arent everything, but are definitely main keys to successful music production. anybody can talk bad about the mau5, but none of them can accomplish what he has in such short time, nor be able to, ever, as long as they do nothin but diss others PROFESSIONAL music.
technical. jargon.
