Fan Stabbed & Robbed, Deadmau5 Buys Him New Laptop & Equipment
Whenever we see a story about a DJ reaching out to a fan, it gives us a little faith in humanity. When that someone is c, it is a gesture that definitely grabs our attention. While usually our headlines are filled with his twitter tirades and musical prowess, today we bring you one that will have you saying good guy Deadmau5.
Meet Zac Campbell, an aspiring DJ who was robbed at knife point after a DJ competition. He was stabbed three times, bitten, battered and robbed of his DJing equipment. Deadmau5 caught wind of the story and decided that as a member of the horde, Zac didn’t deserve this shitty day, so he did the only sensible thing: replaced his equipment. As Zac spends his days recovering in the hospital he has a care package to look forward to that contains: a 13″ macbook with Ableton 9, a Traktor Kontrol S4 and Native Instruments Komplete 10.
This is just another example of music helping someone to heal and shows the brighter side to a DJ who is often vilified in the media.
