DEADMAU5

A Deadmau5 is a Canadian mammal that has the particularity of living only at night, not to be confused with its anemic cousin from the south, a certain Mickey Mouse. On May 16, 2010, the mouse will come to the Rockhal Club for one of the most explosive electro nights ever…

This rare specimen was discovered in 2007 through the track “Faxing Berlin”, and Joel Zimmerman isn’t a laboratory mouse… he prefers the treadmill of the world’s night clubs. He was awarded for his talents as a composer and his peers elected him most remarkable producer of 2007. This North American animal shapes its productions between electro, progressive, techno and a whiff of trance.

Deadmau5 (pronounced: dead mouse…) is hard to classify, but the atmosphere, the energy and the simplicity of his style confer him a musical signature that is immediately recognizable and turns this specimen into one of the major species in the current evolution of electronic music.
In 2009, the album “For Lack Of A Better Name” was released and the singles “I Remember” (a huge success in the Netherlands) and “Ghosts ’n Stuff” (featuring Rob Swire, the singer of Pendulum, on the vocals) lead to worldwide triumph. (The download portal Beatport already listed Deadmau5’s tracks 14 times on the first spot of their Top 100 charts, which no other dance artist had ever achieved until that point.)

He has a reputation for energetic sets and now, Deadmou5 has become an accepted headliner together with Justice, Soulwax or Boysnoize. The mouse is nonchalantly wagging its tail in Great Britain’s sold out clubs.
In few words: When the cat’s away, the mice do play… So open up your ears, Deadmau5 has decided to make the entire planet dance and on May 16, 2010, the Rockhal’s Club will not escape the invasion of the mice....
