The most common criticism of EDM is that there’s nothing live about a DJ performance… that an EDM artist can just press play on a laptop and go about pumping up the crowd without ever having to control the music. Well, Deadmau5 may have proven those criticisms true.
At both Governors Ball and Bonnaroo Music and Arts Festival, famed DJ Deadmau5 took a beer break mid-set. The DJ just upgraded his stage setup, and, apparently, the new performance includes a couch, a hot dog, and a shark.
It must be nice to take money from fans and taunt them with it.
I, for one, personally enjoy my little beer break during see ya 🙂 so awesome. Thank you bonnaroo for keeping the power on! Had fun!
