Words matter. These are the best Deadmau5 Quotes, and they’re great for sharing with your friends.
I’m just a little artsy-fartsy computer dude.
I do this sort of thing where, even for my own shows, I like to supply my own fingerprint of creativity. Not just ideas, technical things: offering model data, creating visuals for my stage show myself, babysitting renders, learning that technology as I go. That’s what makes me feel like an artist.
I do get freaked out sometimes. I have kids hop my fence, get into my back yard, and just start screaming at me.
If I had a nickel for every time someone asked, ‘When are you doing an album?’ My career is way too transparent to do say, ‘Guess what – I’ve got 16 tracks you’ve never heard!’
I’d be pretty saddened to hear anyone say, ‘Yeah, listen to this… God, I’m awesome, the way this all sits together,’ about their own work.
The way I see EDM right now, it’s a healthy industry for sure – minimal work for maximum profit.
When I’m working on something and need to take a little break, I’ll go down and play some video games.
I’d like to think I wouldn’t get booed off stage if I chose not to wear the head – I did gigs prior to having the head made and never had any problems. I’m aware though that, as a gimmick, it can create its own little monster as a brand.
You have to have a certain amount of grit in your sound, and having real synths and talking certain elements outside your computer can help with this.
EDM is, like… Event-Driven Marketing, I think, is the acronym there. It reminds me a lot of disco. That had some hang-time, like, 10, 15, 17 years tops… Not too many people are forward-thinking about electronic music. They’re just kinda like, ‘Now, now, now – do it, do it.’
Everybody’s all up on the EDM bandwagon now, because it’s, like, another viable conduit for traditional pop music to ride for a bit so they can get out of their little stagnant pool and make a dance hit.
I like to think of ‘the studio’ as a laboratory where I can go in, learn tricks, apply, revise, and release. I’d figure I had about the same emotional attachment to my craft as a guy over at NASA does over… NASA stuff.

It would be cool to custom-write music for some kind of story. That’d be cool.
Disco evolved into Chicago warehouse. Then there was techno; eventually, it evolved into EDM.
I’ve got $130 million in the bank and a whiteboard full of cool ideas for emerging markets and technologies where we’re gonna test the waters and see what happens.
I’m not a DJ. I play live and think we put on a show. That’s it.
I was just trickling releases out slowly and building the Deadmau5 brand slowly. There was never this big marketing machine behind it or anything like that.

I don’t think anyone’s career is so big that they can’t know where their major synchs are or where their publishing is going.
I didn’t come up as a DJ, so I don’t play by DJ rules.
I have back-and-forth feelings about everything a lot – it’s not limited to my albums.
When I’m working on something and need to take a little break, I’ll go down and play some video games.
God bless Skrillex. I love the kid, but he puts out a new video, what, every four weeks? I’m like the Dos Equis guy. I don’t normally do music videos, but when I do, I go big.
The label does what’s good for the label. Always.

Nothing goes full-circle with music.
I am very strict on what products I want to associate myself with, and I felt that some things were just to make a buck.
Music is 80 percent fun and 20 percent work. Video games, for me, is all fun.
I love watching professionals play more than I love sitting there 20 hours a day trying be a pro myself.
I like to think of ‘the studio’ as a laboratory where I can go in, learn tricks, apply, revise, and release. I’d figure I had about the same emotional attachment to my craft as a guy over at NASA does over… NASA stuff.
I’m exploring this world of game development and GPU and getting involved in any capacity that I can to meet talented artists and programmers and developers. That’s what you’re gonna need to get a high-end experience done.
I get anxiety from a noise or some scuffling at the side of the stage. I hear stories all the time, from as minor as Dillon Francis getting smacked in the head with a flying beer can to Dimebag Darrell.
Disco evolved into Chicago warehouse. Then there was techno; eventually, it evolved into EDM.
Creamfields is, without doubt, 1 of the highlights of year for me. I really can’t wait to come back.
Virtual reality, to me, seems to have a number of different tiers. Entry-level-tier VR is this experience: on a phone, some simple head-tracking, and some quick and dirty, game-engine-quality stuff.

I’m a video game enthusiast. I love video games! They were a huge part of my upbringing in their early form, when I was all about ‘Dig Dug’ and ‘River Raid.’ As they evolved, so did my music-making, and we just kind of grew up together like cool friends.
I like to consider myself an all-rounder, and I’m not trying to be King of the Scene or anything. I’d like to do everything, from writing film scores to producing pop albums.
