The new superstar

deadmau5 is undoubtedly the big new star of electronic dance music. His audiovisual show, an impressive media display that mixes video, lights, and computer-generated three-dimensional images, is among the most effective in the world. Joel Thomas Zimmerman is the tech generation personified. He began writing songs on a completely self-taught basis in his bedroom, influenced by chiptune, the hacker spirit and a passion for technology. A few years later, his infectious electro-house-progressive trance fills festivals and heads marketing campaigns for leading international brands. His popularity has also taken him to the other side of the screen: deadmau5 is a character in DJ Hero 2, and in the game Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars, there was a radio station dedicated to him. Which is no mean achievement...
