Deadmau5 is the guy who wears the giant mouse head and produces a dynamic combo of new dance, techno, electro and house music.  Deadmau5 is also known for collaborating with other popular artists in his genre like, for example, Kaskade and Rob Swire.  Once you get passed the giant mouse head and into his music it’s not hard on the ears.

Deadmau5 pronounced ‘dead mouse’, thus explaining his ensemble, is not just a DJ.  Although he may be recognizable from DJing this year’s MTV Music Video Awards, he is adamant about not being labeled as just that.

This past weekend Deadmau5 shared his creative talent in front of a large energetic crowd at Voodoo Experience in New Orleans.  His live performance was amazing and he blew everyone away with his melodious beats.  The crowd cheered and swayed as the stage lit up with his unique sound and presence.
