“Music goes with me every where”  

Over the summer the incredible Las Vegas nightclub, Hakkasan, opened. With it came some of the biggest DJ residencies in the game. Tiesto, Calvin Harris, Nervo, Aoki and more were playing every week to tremendous crowds. But something was off once the summer season ended. Deadmau5, who didn’t have a “residency” according to Hakkasan, but still performed often since the opening, was becoming more and more rare to see at the club and was barely on the club’s event calendar online. Now he’s nowhere to be seen.

Vegas residencies are an interesting thing. The top-earning clubs have their big name DJs jump between their day clubs and night clubs in the summertime. Deadmau5 played many Wet Republic shows as well as Hakkasan ones, but the politics behind the deals are intricate. If the Mau5 wanted to completely sever ties with Hakkasan, he did so this past Friday night when he played a surprise, completely on a whim set at XS in Las Vegas.

According to reports, the DJ was in town playing a private show somewhere else and went to the Wynn (where the club XS is located) to meet up with Jesse Waits, a managing partner at XS and longtime friend of Zimmerman (Deadmau5). While the two had dinner, Deadmau5 joked that he should be booked to play at XS that night. Waits could do it, but it would be free. And my God did Deadmau5 DO IT! Sans head though.

From 11pm to 1am, the DJ played an “opening set” for that night’s scheduled act, Wolfgang Gartner.
Thanks to social media, word spread fast of the spontaneous performance and XS reached capacity very quickly. No news yet on any new deals or future performances from the Mau5 at XS.

The biggest news in the EDM world this week is that deadmau5 has decided to leave his Twitter in the hands of his management team instead of tweeting on his own. While the initial news of Joel’s departure from the Twitterverse was announced alongside the release of some new music yesterday, the reasoning behind the move was not. Earlier today, that dead mouse guy took to his Tumblr account to explain why he’s leaving, what his future plans are, and to thank his fans for understanding. This makes perfect sense. The mau5 wants to focus on music. He uploaded seven new tracks to his Soundcloud earlier in the week, and he’s been posting videos and pictures of new studio equipment at a rapid pace. Unfortunately, in the past, deadmau5 has tangled with the wrong kind of fans (you don’t mess with Beliebers and Gaga fanatics!) and Twitter has just been full of negativity for him:

“I’m no longer going to be managing my own twitter account for “deadmau5”. I’m going to let management deal with that account. My reasons are my own, not because of something i said, not because of this hilarious I.R.A. vs “ira” craic, not because of lady gaga’s infinite legions of brain dead fans. but as i said… reasons of my own.
Perhaps ill return to that in world as some reincarnation of sort, but for now, that’s off the table for me. I’ll continue to upload new music to my soundcloud, and the twitter account will point you in the right direction for the most recent happenings… but enough’s enough with living on twitter. Time to at least start by living in the studio making music without having to be force-fed stupid shit that annoys me, when all i’m trying to do is connect with fans.
as for the fans, thanks for all your continued support and understanding of my decision to personally unplug myself from the very thing that’s making me upset. As i’ve mentioned, the account will remain alive, and *my team* (yeah i went there) will keep you just as updated on the ongoings with new music and shit that actually matters.
To leave you with some good news, my new Tricaster arrives today. SO perhaps ill be streaming video with direct audio a lot more often.
thanks for having my back on this one.
-Joel”

While it will be sad to no longer see Joel’s presence on Twitter, this is clearly what the DJ wants and he’s turning this situation into more opportunities to do what he loves: make music.

Last night (Early this morning), the festival trap producer we all know as Carnage, took to Twitter to discuss his latest thoughts and issues relating to the feedback he’s been receiving from fellow fans and others involved in the industry.

Now, Carnage has been known for openly stating his opinions and emotions via social media and in this case, whether you’re a fan or not, should notice that your Soundcloud, YouTube, Facebook or Twitter comments all have a significant influence on the artists and producers that create the music you listen to everyday.

Kudos Carnage for airing out your frustration, you are among many other artists to show your disdain for the negativity.

The Dutch EDM superstar doesn’t think he’s successful just yet.“If you really want a radio station to play your song, go to that radio station every day with that song in your hand and say ‘please play it,’” says Afrojack, who recently dropped by Billboard for an enlightening conversation about his career and work. The jetsetting DJ’s latest tune, “The Spark” featuring Spree Wilson, dropped last month replete with a video filmed mostly in Las Vegas (where the DJ is a resident at the Wynn). Despite his success, the artist, born Nick van de Wall, still finds challenges in his work.

“I started working with Spree [Wilson] on the song in the studio and he already wrote the song,” van de Wall explains of the track’s origins. “Then the label came and were like, ‘Hey look: we’re the label, let’s put some major artist on there’ and it didn’t really work because it completely disrupts the balance of the song. It became too pop sounding.”

Ultimately, Wilson was tipped as the featured artist, a first for the songwriter. Not that van de Wall is insulting his new label. He signed to the UMG imprint Island Def Jam earlier this year, becoming the first DJ on their roster and labelmates with his pal Kanye West.
