Deadmau5 calls out the big players, talks showmanship

Joel has been known to take things to the next level in his performances from the introduction of innovative stage designs to the mau5bots. This time he’s called out all those A-lister DJs, accusing them of taking the easy way out and doing ‘too little’ for their fans.

“There are easy ways to convey your music but I like to build more of a show around it, even though a lot of the principles remain the same: That I’m playing back a lot of premeditated things and pre-produced things but I’m not doing it with two $500 pieces of Pioneer shit and a glow stick in my mouth. The way I see it: If you’re going to pay a guy upwards of $500,000 to a million f—ing dollars to stand on a stage in front of however many people at ‘X’ EDM event, if you’re not putting at least 200 grand into your stage show other than an LED wall and some backline stuff, it’s just the biggest ripoff”

I do agree with deadmau5 on the fact that charging half a million bucks a night to come up and just spin some music for two hours doesn’t cut it any more and fans are looking for newer experiences these days.
