Deadmau5 claims he's over "clubland"

He also said he makes some music because it's "what people want me to do"

Deadmau5 has let it be known that he's looking to take a step away from clubland. The revelation came during another of his online Coffee Run episodes, this time featuring Tycho.

Once again taking a guest to his favourite coffee shop, Tim Hortons, Joel Zimmerman expressed his wish to take a break from DJ sets due to the lack of satisfaction compared to a full-on production show.

"I'm kind of getting out of clubland for a while too, I'm just over it. We try and fly in as much [production gear] as we can. We've got these two robots that do cool shit but that's it.

"You just see people walking away from those typical club gigs and it's like why did we spend a million dollars on two robots?"

Talking about the music he likes listening to, describing it as something that is "not as intrusive as a slap across the fucking face", he opened up about his own music.

"That's kind of where I like music to be for me to listen to, not necessarily the way I make music or what I produce because sometimes I just do things because it's what people want me to do."
