DJs, producers and music artists are very extravagant people. Only Deadmau5 (Joel Thomas Zimmerman) could come up with the idea to interview a massive artist like Zedd (Anton Zaslavski) in his Ferrari on the way to get coffee.
Next Coffee Run: Deadmau5 and Tycho
After cruising Miami with his DJ buddies Laidback Luke and Eric Prydz, Joel Zimmerman – better known to the dance world as Deadmau5 – returned to Toronto for the next ‘Coffee Run’ episode with Scott Hansen, AKA Tycho.
The two producers get in-depth about studio techniques, the gear they work with and the artists who inspire them. Early on, though, Zimmerman gives an indication of what to expect from him in the remainder of the year. As he tells Hansen, he’ll be “taking a break from touring [and] kinda getting out of club-land for a while, too. I’m just over it.” He will, however, be stepping in for Avicii again at Las Vegas super-club XS on Friday April 25.
Zimmerman explains the two-tonne ‘Mau5bots’ he debuted for his ‘Unhooked’ shows at Hakkasan in Vegas last season: “You just see people walking away from one of those typical club gigs [and you think] why did we just spend a million dollars on two robots when you’re still getting the same.
The time away from club shows will be spent developing the ambitious new Deadmau5 live show we should see on the road in 2015.
