Someone unfamiliar with Deadmau5’ work might not be willing to listen to the slow build up from the 10-minute original. That being said, the radio and club edits were released which meant the tack could be heard in many different scenarios. This shows the willingness of Deadmau5 fans to appreciate the artist’s initial vision for the music. In most scenarios, the radio edit gets a lot more traction than extended or club edits. The original 10-minute edit of Strobe has over 48 million streams on YouTube, which is 100 times more than the radio edit.

Deadmau5 uses this approach and it leads to his electronic music sounding like a song, rather than a simple and predictable ‘DJ Tool’.

He doesn’t endlessly layer sounds to eventually stumble across the perfect combinations. It’s got a pure tonal balance and fills the speakers across a broad range of frequencies.ĭeadmau5 is known for his attention to detail and scrutinizing every sound in his productions to make sure it’s the perfect fit.

Zimmerman dips his toes in the world of commercial music from time to time with 8 tracks reaching the top 40 in Billboard, but mainly focusses on his studio albums which are loved by his cult following. His unique sound and character have helped him establish his name as one of the most talented electronic music producers of all time. Joel Zimmerman is the man behind the Deadmau5 mask.
