A peek behind the mouse hat: Joel Zimmerman aka Deadmau5 tells all

Deadmau5.While there is some speculation as to the exact origin of his mousy moniker, most have decided it emerged from computer shorthand for “Dead Mouse,” allegedly the chat room username he adopted after discovering an expired rodent in his keyboard years ago — these claims remain unconfirmed.Regardless of the origin story, most of Deamau5’s followers probably associate the slender, tatted-up, 43-year-old music producer with his anomalous onstage appearance. He is often caught bobbing to his beats in a glowing, oversized helmet shaped like a smiling, cartoon mouse helmet.It’s difficult to know exactly what goes through the mind of the six-time Grammy Award-nominated producer who hails from Canada and has survived over a quarter century in one of the most trying creative industries known to man: music.Even more astonishing is how the prodigy has stirred up enough energy to develop his ‘Retro5pective Tour’ that transports fans through time with selections of the greatest hits from his illustrious career, on top of new, unperformed material.“It’s just kind of like an extra long show of me trying to cram in as much as I can from day one to now,” Zimmerman told the New York Post in an exclusive interview, just a couple of days after playing the Hollywood Bowl.The prolific EDM icon is looking forward to putting on potentially even longer sets at the Brooklyn Mirage in New York City on Thursday, May 2 and Friday, May 3.“For the Hollywood Bowl, it’s probably the most unionized, crazy venue in all of America so we’re very constricted to time,” he presumed.

Tiësto and Charli XCX will release their ‘Hot In It’ collaboration next week
Tiësto has revealed that his collaboration with Charli XCX, ‘Hot In It’, will be arriving in full sometime next week.Charli shared a snippet the song on TikTok last month, using it to soundtrack a clip of herself getting ready to attend this year’s amfAR Gala in Cannes.“I’m gon’ be rockin’ it, droppin’ it/ Shake my ass, I’m stopping it/ I look hot in it, hot in it/ I look hot in it,” the pop star could be heard singing on the track’s chorus in the preview.On Friday (June 17) Tiësto announced that the song would be released on June 30, with the superstar DJ and producer tweeting that “it’s going to be a HOT IN IT Summer !!!”It's going to be a HOT IN IT Summer !!! @charli_xcx https://t.co/SIx6vvrF0c— Tiësto (@tiesto) June 17, 2022Charli’s most recent album was March’s ‘Crash’. In a four-star review, NME‘s El Hunt wrote: “Since the beginning, we’ve seen Charli XCX trying on many guises, whether she’s referencing new-wave on ‘Sucker’ or teaming up with SOPHIE to craft an alien new interpretation of pop on her 2016 EP ‘Vroom Vroom’.“One emotion that her music will never evoke is boredom, and even when her sights are trained on infiltrating mainstream pop, she’s still an artist with a knack for surprising. If ‘Crash’ really does mark the death of Charli XCX as a major label artist – what a way to go.”Tiësto’s last album was 2020’s ‘The London Sessions’, which was recorded during a month-long stay in the British capital and featured collaborations with Becky Hill, Snoop Dogg, Rita Ora, Post Malone, Mabel and more.The DJ confirmed in March that he was working on a new full-length release that he expected to be finished by the end of February, and that he hopes to release it this summer.“Yeah.
