Deadmau5 far from dead

In fact, he's killing everybody else. For those who need a history of this killer, here's a quick re-cap: in 2005, a tiny mouse crawls into a computer hub, gets stuck, and dies there. One month later, 24 year old Hamilton native Joel Zimmerman finds it (thanks to the rotten stench) and starts calling himself Deadmau5. He starts producing music under this name. Within a year he wins a Beatport Music Award for Producer of the Year. He takes the following year to produce, collaborate, and tour. Early this year he wins a Juno Award for Dance Recording of the Year (which was "All U Ever Want", with Billy Newton-Davis) and just recently, goes on a rampage and takes the following standings at the 2008 Beatport Music Awards:





Daaaaaaamn, he cleaned up.
Here's an older Deadmau5 edit that never seems to get old:
