[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

Deadmau5 (pronounced "Dead mouse", birth name Joel Zimmerman) is a Progressive house and Electro House producer and DJ from Toronto, Canada. His extensive discography includes tracks such as "Arguru" and "Not Exactly", which have been included in compilation albums such as In Search of Sunrise 6: Ibiza, MixMag's "Tech-Trance-Electro-Madness" (mixed by Deadmau5 himself), and on Armin van Buuren's A State of Trance radio show. He works alongside numerous other DJs and producers, such as Steve Duda under the BSOD alias. His debut album, Random Album Title was released electronically in September 2008, via Ultra Records in the USA and Ministry of Sound in the UK and Europe. Physical copies of the album will be available from November, 2008.

His pseudonym Deadmau5 was created in 2005 after said animal crawled into his computer, died a month later, and smelled to the point that it led him to find it. He then took the name Dead Mouse. When creating a nickname for IRC, he realized Dead Mouse had too many characters, so he reduced it to Deadmau5. The use of "5" instead of "S" is a form of Leetspeak

Joel Zimmerman was born in 1981. In 2008 he became Producer of the Year, he also became the most selling artist on Beatport with more than 30,000 on just Beatport alone with his singles "Not Exactly" and "Faxing Berlin".[2]

Deadmau5 received two nominations for the Juno Award for Dance Recording of the Year at the Juno Awards of 2008 for a track with Billy Newton-Davis and Melleefresh. He did not win an award for Melleefresh's "After Hours" song, but he won the award for Newton-Davis' "All U Ever Want".[3] On May 1, 2008, Deadmau5 became the most awarded deejay/producer/remixer of the Beatport Music Awards. He was named "Most influential, forward-thinking and relevant person" by Beatport.[4] He was also named "Producer of 2007" by DJ Mag's 2007 Top 100 winner Armin van Buuren,[5] and by runner up Tiësto. [6] In 2008, he placed number 11 in the DJ Mag Top 100 poll, the highest new entry in the polls history, showing Zimmerman's rise to prominence in such a short period of time.

In the United States, Deadmau5's collaboration with Kaskade, "Move for Me," reached number one on Billboard's Hot Dance Airplay chart in its September 6, 2008 issue.

Deadmau5 (prononcé Deadmouse en anglais et qui veut dire souris morte en français) est un artiste canadien de musique électronique, orienté vers la Progressive House. Son vrai nom est Joel Zimmerman. Il s'est fait connaitre pour des titres tels que Faxing Berlin ou encore Not Exactly ou Arguru qui ont été appréciés de grands artistes et inclus dans plusieurs compilations.

Joel Zimmerman fut considéré comme le plus remarquable producteur de 2007 par Tiësto et Armin van Buuren lors d'interviews.
Deadmau5 commence à connaitre le succès en février 2007 quand une copie de Faxing Berlin fut diffusé sur une émission de radio animée par Pete Tong. Dès lors Deadmau5 a réalisé des singles en ligne, a fondé son label Mau5trap Recordings et a été inclus dans pas moins de 15 compilations "dance" en 2007. Son album studio devrait sortir vers Septembre 2008.

Le nom de Deadmau5 vient d'un incident s'étant produit chez Joel Zimmerman où une souris se serait infiltré dans son ordinateur. Le nom de départ était Deadmouse (souris morte en français) qu'il a choisi de transformer en Deadmau5 car Deadmouse comprenait trop de caractères pour pouvoir l'utiliser comme nom d'IRC.
All U Ever Want, un album en collaboration avec Billy Newton-Davis a gagné un Juno Awards en 2008 dans la catégorie des titres Dance. Le remix de No Pressure de One+One par Deadmau5 a été inclus à la radio Electro-Choc de Grand Theft Auto IV.

Deadmau5 est devenu la "plus influente, plus avant-gardiste et plus utile personne" selon le Beatport Music Awards en 2008. Il a gagné le titre de meilleur artiste Electro/House, de plus influente personnalité, de meilleur artiste de Progressive House, de meilleur single avec Not Exactly et de meilleur remix avec Community Funk (Deadmau5 Remix)" au Beatport.com Music Awards de 2008.

Joel est actuellement en collaboration Tommy Lee sous le nom de "WTF?" avec la participation de DJ Aero et Steve Duda.
Après une année chargé, Deadmau5 à signé avec le célèbre label Ultra Records pour son 4ème album "Random Album Title", sortis le 2 septembre en digital, et le 4 novembre dans les bacs au Royaume Uni
