Watch Deadmau5 go in on a techno set
Believe it or not, French youth station NRJ presented her with the award last night
Deadmau5 raised eyebrows recently when his testpilot alias got a release via Richie Hawtin's Plus 8 imprint.
The double A-side single is way more stripped back and functional than the Mau5's more recent big-room offerings and seemed to be a nod toward the darkened club music that he obviously digs.
He's been talking up his forthcoming album but has also been keen to get across that he's got more than EDM in his arsenal. His recent slot at Ultra included a segment of sleek techno and this weekend he laid down two hours of uncompromising four-to-the-floor live for fans on his VIP access website.
The set, which includes cuts from Carl Craig, Audion, Joris Voorn and the man himself, has found its way onto YouTube and shows Deadmau5 banging it out in the nerdy heaven of his studio. He looks like he's having a lot of fun and is slammin' it in true having-a-mix-at-the-weekend style.
