Deadmau5

The industry has always had a problem with the 18-to-25 market, but EDM is perfect - a unique identifier for a group in that mental and fiscal state; in their youth, but free to do whatever they want. We filled that void. ”

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. ”

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 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 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 do get freaked out sometimes. I have kids hop my fence, get into my back yard, and just start screaming at me. ”

Creamfields is, without doubt, 1 of the highlights of year for me. I really can't wait to come back. ”

I have back-and-forth feelings about everything a lot - it's not limited to my albums. ”

I have a very varied taste in music from Boards of Canada to Radiohead. So I just love making music and being in the studio. ”

I don't believe there's a cap on creativity and passion. ”
