I wrote this piece for Beatsmedia UK with a lot of thought, reasoning and research.

Our favourite â deadmau5 a.k.a Joel Zimmerman has never held back on his take of the current state of dance music â in circa 2012, he went off on so called âliveâ EDM shows â where he blatantly said âItâs not about performance art, itâs not about talent either (really itâs not). â and goes on to âexplainâ how the industry is filled with button pushing DJs that can âperformâ miracles with just â1 hour of instructionâ. Heâs not off point for the most part â but that very tumblr rant below to jog your memories.) evoked a lot of defensive responses from industry folk as well as a fair bit of venom from the fans.
