Deadmau5 is back in news again. The Canadian DJ and producer, who also happens to be everyone’s favourite troller, was recently in the limelight for taking potshots at both Paris Hilton and Afrojack. But it seems the mau5 is getting fed up of everything that is happening around the EDM world these days. Taking to Twitter, he expressed his opinions on the whole scene with a couple of tweets.
well… i guess its safe to say the whole "djing thing" really doesnt require much skill or talent. i think i mentioned that before.

i suppose ill worry less about these "DJ gigs" then… just retire it while these naabs can #killit or whatever. i have a studio to build.

jealous? nah. somewhat bitter to see the EDM world stoop to new all time lows? yeah.

i think when you start blabbing about how many millions youre making "being a dj" its pretty clear you might just be in it for the money.

but until you change or revolutionalize anything, and stop exploiting what others have already laid out for you, you're wasting space.

so on that note, i dont have to defend, justify, or explain anything further. So long "EDM", it was fun, but you're really fuckin lame now.

These tweets do not particularly mean he’s done from the electronic scene though. It’s just that he’s too fed up from the generic, formula driven productions being released or the bandwagon DJs that are getting in it just for the sake of fame and money.
Moving into his new mansion means building a new studio. But that also might mean that he’ll be taking a break from social media for a while to just get back his groove until everything settles down.
not to say im going to stop. New house, new studio, new ideas. time to pave my own way through the bullshit much like i always have.

He however did drop a hint on what he actually wants to do.
i want to read / view Jodorosky's Dune… and compose to that. #wishfulthinking

If Joel does end up doing a score, it sure will be one to look out for. But till then, we’ll just have to wait and watch.
