Its all happening at Ultra Music Festival, Miami this year. With Deadmau5 replacing Avicii for Day 2 of UMF with Avicii being hospitalized, Joel played a daring set on the mainstage of Ultra.
Prior to taking up the stage, the mau5 gave a gist on twitter of what he was gonna play:

Closing the Day 2 of the festival, Deadmau5 who was performing as a special guest for Ultra trolled Martin Garrix by dropping the McMaNGOS Funnymals Edit of “Animals”. Deadmau5 who has repeatedly thrashed Garrix over Animals on twitter, took a daring step of actually dropping this funny version of Animals. Watch the video for yourself:

After dropping “Animals”, deadmau5 played a mashup of “Levels and Ghosts N Stuff” just to troll or to pay tribute to Avicii as he’s in the hospital, but either ways it was amusing to witness deadmau5 drop “Levels” in his set. Watch the clip below:

All in all, deadmau5 just trolled Ultra for playing whatever he wanted to rather than what he was supposed to play. You’ll hardly witness underground techno being played at the Ultra mainstage, but deadmau5 dared to do that in his set.
Following his set, Tiesto jumped in on twitter to lash out on deadmau5 for trolling Garrix and Avicii. Here’s a little exchange on twitter between the two:
