(Inthemix) Last Friday, an audience of no more than 200 lucky Deadmau5 fans witnessed their hero in a special intimate performance in Los Angeles. The showcase, at Sonos Studio, was sponsored by local internet radio station KCRW and recorded for a broadcast on 1 November. Before Joel Zimmerman stepped up to his ‘mini-cube’ for a 90-minute set, he sat down with KCRW host Jason Bentley, and U.S. site Magnetic Mag recorded the chat.
During the interview, Zimmerman touched on the news many mau5 enthusiasts have been waiting on: the next incarnation of his stage show. As a guy who spares no expense on spectacle, there are high hopes for whatever comes after The Cube. Deadmau5 to Build live Show at the Veld Music Festival in Zimmerman’s hometown of Toronto was supposed to be grand debut of the new show, but rain prevented it from working at full capacity. In the time since, though, the Deadmau5 team has been working on something even bigger. “How do you keep bringing it up a notch?” Bentley asked.
“Oh man, I wish you asked me this question a year from now, ‘cause damn, oh man,” Zimmerman replied. “I’ve got some things in store that are insane. We were going to do the last Cube show at Creamfields, and I brought like a $5K camera and I was like, “I’m going to film this in iMax quality and it’s going to be amazing. Then the whole festival got cancelled.
“At this festival in Canada called The Veld, everyone thought it was going to be the new stage. But we couldn’t do the production we really wanted. It’s so hard not to drop what [the new stage concept] is. It is so bloody amazing, and I can’t believe no one has thought of it.”
