I Thought Inside Out (with Chris Lake) and his remix of One + One's No Pressure are both in GTA IV, and are credited, but I'm pretty sure his track, Arguru, is also in there, though uncredited.

Deadmau5's name originates from the computer internet chat client
Internet Relay Chat. His original name was Dead Mouse and is an anecdote of a mouse that has crawled in through the exhaust fan of a tower computer and died, this too is where deadmau5's image of a dead mouse with crossed out eyes. The crossed eyes is synonymous with an object or person that is dead.
Dead Mouse is abbreviated due to the
Internet Relay Chat server network he was using at the time only allowing 8 characters in length and therefore dead mouse being 9-10 depending if a space is included. Thus the nick is shortened to 8 by having deadmau5.

I think it should be noted that Deadmau5 and Image-line had a legal battle involving 2 samples copyrighted —Preceding unsigned comment added by FuzzyDan ( talk • contribs) 23:20, 2 February 2009 (UTC)
From what I understand, the battle wasn't between Image-Line and Deadmau5.
FL Studio 8 came with two loop samples from Faxing Berlin. An FL Studio user created a song with these samples. Deadmau5 had a sissy fit. Then Image- Line came out and called the user a thief.
But what are those loops doing in FL Studio? They're under the Packs folder, which is where one finds free samples for use in your own songs (Image-Line's ads explicitely state that the samples that come with FL Studio are royalty-free). Image-Line dishonestly stated that the loops were EXAMPLES, not free samples, but something tells me that Faxing Berlin was not produced with FL Studio, and why would they be perfect 8/16 beat loops with the BPM indicated (128) if they were not intended for use in your own tracks?
Tebello TheWHAT!!?? 18:45, 17 February 2009 (UTC)
Actually there is a lot of his tracks are in FL Studio, its just samples like Hey Baby, Lai, Lollercoaster, Bounce, two samples of Faxing Berlin the drum loop and a sample of the real song.
I recently found some trivia about Joel Zimmermann and his tattoo. I would really appreciate if someone could insert it into the article.
Beatportal released a small article about deadmau5' tattoo on his neck: [ http://www.beatportal.com/feed/item/the-curious-case-of-deadmau5-neck-tattoo/ Beatportal: The curious case of Deadmau5' neck tattoo. You stupid bastard because he was born on the same day as space invaders christ....
In his new video (Ghosts'n stuff, see official deadmau5 Youtube channel) he satirizes his own mistake. Joel falls into coma and wakes up with this green tattoo on his neck.

Does anybody know where deadmau5 graduated from, if he did graduate
On soundcloud.org he goes by the user name "fuckmylife" and has a track called FML on "for lack of a better name" can anyone expand on this?
deadmau5's 'Biography' reads like it was lifted from a PR press bio. Certainly not neutral, with lines like, "It's electrifying stuff." And has the informal, hyping feel with sentences such as, "Hard to believe that three years ago, Zimmerman was all but unknown." Or look at the final paragraph:
"No Grammy just yet, then, but you wouldn’t bet against him winning one in the future. Deadmau5 is on a dizzying upward trajectory. Dance music just got very exciting again." —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.200.241.75 ( talk) 15:12, 15 February 2010 (UTC)

Under the health section of the page it states
"At 9:30 PM on 30 July 2010, deadmau5 collapsed on stage, suffering from exhaustion and vomiting. deadmau5's set was cut short as he was rushed to a hospital, and his collapse also led to the cancellation of the nine shows following the event"
this did not happen at 9:30 PM, is happened at the 9:30 club in Washington DC. This is actually what the citation for this statement says and what I personally know to be true since I was at the show

an addition to the article for deadmau5's interaction with fans would be appropriate; he created and maintains a Minecraft server with which he personally interacts with fans, as well as a Ustream channel where he answers fan questions and lets viewers listen to ongoing work, live. His avid fan base can be attributed to the closer, more personal relationship he has with fans. He's also been posting casual, random videos on his YouTube page since 2005 or so, and continues to. It should be noted that not many celebrity artists are nearly as /accessible/ to their fans. A recently released single, "HR 8938 Cephei", was previously heard/seen being worked over on deadmau5's Ustream show. His public image is more relatable as a result.

Deadmau5 was also the first music artist to release his own branded iPhone application, titled Deadmau5 Remix. Deadmau5 Remix allows fans to remix his music on their iPhone/iPad/iPod Touch. The remix can then be entered into a competition and shared with their friends on Facebook. Deadmau5 states about his app “Touch Remix rips up the rulebook in terms of how fans interact with my music. I love the the fact that they can endlessly personalize and mix my tracks in a unique way.”

Within the first few paragraphs it reads that Deadmau5 was worked alongside other DJs... etc... Deadmau5 is not a DJ, rather a music producer. He is known for disagreeing with the term, and has been quoted to not like DJs in general. He makes music, DJs play music.
As for links, they are just about everywhere:
This page: http://www.deadmau5.com/mau5trap/ reads as follows: “mau5trap records is a record label. we make records. dj’s play our records for people to listen to. sometimes people dance to it, or play it in their cars. that’s all there is to it really.”
Another link: http://trainspottr.com/djproducer-deadmau5-public-statement-about-djs-theyre-fcking-cts/1452
And another link: (first line): http://www.deadmau5.com/biography/
But yeah, I would like the line where it says he's a DJ changed, as he's not. A DJ is someone who plays other people's music, and makes nothing of their own from scratch. deadmau5 makes music.

21:11, 10 June 2011 (UTC)The "Awards and Nominations" section does not include several awards that deadmau5 received during March of 2011, and I feel that the section should be updated in order to provide an accurate list of the artist's achievements.
At the 2011 IDMA awards, which were held on March 10 of 2011, Deadmau5 received 3 awards at the show; Best American DJ (North America), Best Artist (Solo) and Best Dubstep/DnB/Jungle Track (for "Raise your Weapon.") He also received three further nominations in the categories of Best Global DJ, Best Producer and Best Electro/Tech House Track (for "Animal Rights"). A list of the awards' results can be found at the awarding body's website: http://wintermusicconference.com/idmaballot/nominees/
Deadmau5 has also won the 2011 Juno Award for Dance Recording of the Year, for "Sofi Needs a Ladder." This was announced on the awarding body's website: http://junoawards.ca/2011-juno-award-nominees/#dance_recording_of_the_year
Finally, Deadmau5 recieved the 2011 Beatport Music Awards for Top Electro House Track (for "Animal Rights") and the Community Choice award for Artist of the Year.

I think that it should be worth mentioning that his original alias was halcyon441. There are a couple of tracks he gave out when he first got started (ex. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dLJ08gHRVdI&feature=related) that should probably go somewhere in his discography. I am trying to find a bit more information about his early career but it is tough.
I have heard that his releases popping up on the web (Aural Psynapse, Haitus Fantasy) are actually tracks he made as halcyon441 that he didn't release, but I can't find articles to confirm this. If anybody stumbles across sources related to halcyon 441 let me know.

These words -"The case caused a slight discomfort among the users of FL Studio,[34] and some have pointed out potential inconsistencies in the EULA of the software.[32]"- should be removed.
This line seems to be implying that there was a significant number of users that were discomfited by Deadmau5's behavior and that they felt the EULA was inconsistent. Having been there at the time and been privy to the discussion it was not that way at all. The vast majority of those who replied were vehemently against DirtyCircuit's actions and indicated their disapproval very strongly. The few who even mentioned the EULA not being explicit (note not inconsistent, but explicit enough) did so as a recommendation as a precaution, so that someone like DirtyCircuit could not claim ignorance of a sample's status. The entire thing was just a huge flame war with no one at all from the Deadmau5 camp participating to indicate what actually was happening. Legally threatening letters are sent from copyright holders all the time without it being a controversy. This time, however, all we had to go on were DirtyCircuit's assertions. Without any input from Deadmau5 or his lawyers or any reputable objective source to provide information, realistically the entire paragraph's inclusion might be considered an ethical "gray area." Regardless, the last line is certainly misleading. Omac12 ( talk) 01:39, 25 August 2012 (UTC)
Being a big deadmau5 fan that plays a lot of video games I noticed that a couple of games that feature his music are missing. This is "Saints Row the Third" where his song "A city in florida" was featured (see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saints_Row:_The_Third_soundtrack#97.6_K12_FM). He also ether provided the sound bits for "Sound Shapes" or actually made 4 songs for the game. (It's kind of unclear on what he did, it says mixed by deadmau5 in the game, but on the internet I found articles claiming he only provited the sound bits (see: http://www.joystiq.com/2012/04/16/deadmau5-and-pixeljam-make-beautiful-sound-shapes-together/).
And optional to add, deadmau5 got into an argument on twitter with Jersey Shore's "Pauly D", Pauly D asked his twitter followers what they thought of his new video clip, and deadmau5 responded to that, saying he thought it was crap (not the actual words he used). for more info see: http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1685496/pauly-d-deadmau5-twitter-battle.jhtml

I get your reasoning, but my friend Annie Munson who does the same genre started recording in 1989 but didn't make an album untill 1995, yet she says that her coreer started in 1989. i thought it'd be the same with deadmau5, but i do understand your reasoning. i can't find anything in the article other than the name of an album that acknowledges that he was active in 1998 at all. 199.101.61.190 ( talk) 15:03, 29 December 2012 (UTC)

strong oppose if we are going to change the articles names based on stylistics wp conventions then we'd be better to just name the article Joel Zimmermann instead of calling it deadmaus. Also strong oppose based on the fact that the 5 in his name is an integral part of his name. When se7en was out it was often referred to (and still is ) by the use of seven without the numeral. People spelling deadmau5 by using deadmaus are usually only found on talk pages on wikipedia..

Deadmau5's name originates from the computer internet chat client
Internet Relay Chat. His original name was Dead Mouse and is an anecdote of a mouse that has crawled in through the exhaust fan of a tower computer and died, this too is where deadmau5's image of a dead mouse with crossed out eyes. The crossed eyes is synonymous with an object or person that is dead.
Dead Mouse is abbreviated due to the
Internet Relay Chat server network he was using at the time only allowing 8 characters in length and therefore dead mouse being 9-10 depending if a space is included. Thus the nick is shortened to 8 by having deadmau5.

I think it should be noted that Deadmau5 and Image-line had a legal battle involving 2 samples copyrighted —Preceding unsigned comment added by FuzzyDan ( talk • contribs) 23:20, 2 February 2009 (UTC)
From what I understand, the battle wasn't between Image-Line and Deadmau5.
FL Studio 8 came with two loop samples from Faxing Berlin. An FL Studio user created a song with these samples. Deadmau5 had a sissy fit. Then Image- Line came out and called the user a thief.
But what are those loops doing in FL Studio? They're under the Packs folder, which is where one finds free samples for use in your own songs (Image-Line's ads explicitely state that the samples that come with FL Studio are royalty-free). Image-Line dishonestly stated that the loops were EXAMPLES, not free samples, but something tells me that Faxing Berlin was not produced with FL Studio, and why would they be perfect 8/16 beat loops with the BPM indicated (128) if they were not intended for use in your own tracks?
Tebello TheWHAT!!?? 18:45, 17 February 2009 (UTC)
Actually there is a lot of his tracks are in FL Studio, its just samples like Hey Baby, Lai, Lollercoaster, Bounce, two samples of Faxing Berlin the drum loop and a sample of the real song.

deadmau5's 'Biography' reads like it was lifted from a PR press bio. Certainly not neutral, with lines like, "It's electrifying stuff." And has the informal, hyping feel with sentences such as, "Hard to believe that three years ago, Zimmerman was all but unknown." Or look at the final paragraph:

this did not happen at 9:30 PM, is happened at the 9:30 club in Washington DC. This is actually what the citation for this statement says and what I personally know to be true since I was at the show

an addition to the article for deadmau5's interaction with fans would be appropriate; he created and maintains a Minecraft server with which he personally interacts with fans, as well as a Ustream channel where he answers fan questions and lets viewers listen to ongoing work, live. His avid fan base can be attributed to the closer, more personal relationship he has with fans. He's also been posting casual, random videos on his YouTube page since 2005 or so, and continues to. It should be noted that not many celebrity artists are nearly as /accessible/ to their fans. A recently released single, "HR 8938 Cephei", was previously heard/seen being worked over on deadmau5's Ustream show. His public image is more relatable as a result.

Deadmau5 was also the first music artist to release his own branded iPhone application, titled Deadmau5 Remix. Deadmau5 Remix allows fans to remix his music on their iPhone/iPad/iPod Touch. The remix can then be entered into a competition and shared with their friends on Facebook. Deadmau5 states about his app “Touch Remix rips up the rulebook in terms of how fans interact with my music. I love the the fact that they can endlessly personalize and mix my tracks in a unique way.”

Within the first few paragraphs it reads that Deadmau5 was worked alongside other DJs... etc... Deadmau5 is not a DJ, rather a music producer. He is known for disagreeing with the term, and has been quoted to not like DJs in general. He makes music, DJs play music.
As for links, they are just about everywhere:
This page: http://www.deadmau5.com/mau5trap/ reads as follows: “mau5trap records is a record label. we make records. dj’s play our records for people to listen to. sometimes people dance to it, or play it in their cars. that’s all there is to it really.”
Another link: http://trainspottr.com/djproducer-deadmau5-public-statement-about-djs-theyre-fcking-cts/1452
And another link: (first line): http://www.deadmau5.com/biography/
But yeah, I would like the line where it says he's a DJ changed, as he's not. A DJ is someone who plays other people's music, and makes nothing of their own from scratch. deadmau5 makes music.

21:11, 10 June 2011 (UTC)The "Awards and Nominations" section does not include several awards that deadmau5 received during March of 2011, and I feel that the section should be updated in order to provide an accurate list of the artist's achievements.
At the 2011 IDMA awards, which were held on March 10 of 2011, Deadmau5 received 3 awards at the show; Best American DJ (North America), Best Artist (Solo) and Best Dubstep/DnB/Jungle Track (for "Raise your Weapon.") He also received three further nominations in the categories of Best Global DJ, Best Producer and Best Electro/Tech House Track (for "Animal Rights"). A list of the awards' results can be found at the awarding body's website: http://wintermusicconference.com/idmaballot/nominees/
Deadmau5 has also won the 2011 Juno Award for Dance Recording of the Year, for "Sofi Needs a Ladder." This was announced on the awarding body's website: http://junoawards.ca/2011-juno-award-nominees/#dance_recording_of_the_year

I am trying to find a bit more information about his early career but it is tough.
I have heard that his releases popping up on the web (Aural Psynapse, Haitus Fantasy) are actually tracks he made as halcyon441 that he didn't release, but I can't find articles to confirm this. If anybody stumbles across sources related to halcyon 441 let me know.

From what I've seen on his facebook page, he's also gotten back together with Lindsay. 98.117.207.102 ( talk) 18:45, 29 February 2012 (UTC)
From what I've read it sounds more like he is having fatigue problems leading to stress / despression / anxiety or similar... I would hold off on labelling him as having "mental health issues" just yet. Troll-Life ( talk) 21:12, 29 February 2012 (UTC)

The "parody" section (under "Controversies") should be deleted as it's only supported by primary sources, not reliable secondary sources showing it's relevant. Being parodied does also not in any way constitute a controversy in any shape or form. 126.25.72.110 ( talk) 06:08, 8 March 2012 (UTC)
It might be worth noting that deadmau5's song "Professional Griefers" was played at MineCon during the official Minecraft release, and he also played at the afterparty. -- Ab corn 21:56, 8 March 2012 (UTC)
I guess whoever keeps adding dubstep under genres is thinking of Raise Your Weapon from 4x4=12 album. IMO one track with a dubstep beat doesn't warrant inclusion in the infobox. - filelake shoe 09:59, 28 April 2012 (UTC)
It lists deadmau5 as being a DJ, while, a little farther below, he says he is not one. I was just wondering if this really should be listed.

Can anyone verify the authenticity of this story, or for that matter, any Disney lawsuit? It seems strange that Disney isn't going to sue a guy performing in Mickey Mouse helmet. 142.150.48.219 ( talk) 19:29, 10 August 2012 (UTC)
These words -"The case caused a slight discomfort among the users of FL Studio,[34] and some have pointed out potential inconsistencies in the EULA of the software.[32]"- should be removed.
This line seems to be implying that there was a significant number of users that were discomfited by Deadmau5's behavior and that they felt the EULA was inconsistent. Having been there at the time and been privy to the discussion it was not that way at all. The vast majority of those who replied were vehemently against DirtyCircuit's actions and indicated their disapproval very strongly. The few who even mentioned the EULA not being explicit (note not inconsistent, but explicit enough) did so as a recommendation as a precaution, so that someone like DirtyCircuit could not claim ignorance of a sample's status. The entire thing was just a huge flame war with no one at all from the Deadmau5 camp participating to indicate what actually was happening. Legally threatening letters are sent from copyright holders all the time without it being a controversy. This time, however, all we had to go on were DirtyCircuit's assertions. Without any input from Deadmau5 or his lawyers or any reputable objective source to provide information, realistically the entire paragraph's inclusion might be considered an ethical "gray area." Regardless, the last line is certainly misleading. Omac12 ( talk) 01:39, 25 August 2012 (UTC)
Being a big deadmau5 fan that plays a lot of video games I noticed that a couple of games that feature his music are missing. This is "Saints Row the Third" where his song "A city in florida" was featured (see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saints_Row:_The_Third_soundtrack#97.6_K12_FM). He also ether provided the sound bits for "Sound Shapes" or actually made 4 songs for the game. (It's kind of unclear on what he did, it says mixed by deadmau5 in the game, but on the internet I found articles claiming he only provited the sound bits (see: http://www.joystiq.com/2012/04/16/deadmau5-and-pixeljam-make-beautiful-sound-shapes-together/).
And optional to add, deadmau5 got into an argument on twitter with Jersey Shore's "Pauly D", Pauly D asked his twitter followers what they thought of his new video clip, and deadmau5 responded to that, saying he thought it was crap (not the actual words he used). for more info see: http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1685496/pauly-d-deadmau5-twitter-battle.jhtml
Hope it helps improving the page:)

There is nothing about deadmau5's cat Meowingtons here. He is very well known among deadmau5's fans — Preceding unsigned comment added by Krizor ( talk • contribs) 22:19, 7 December 2012 (UTC)
Years active: 1998-present., not 2005-present - if he recorded songs in 1998 then that means he started at about that time, make sense? I realize that he didn't release a compilation untill 2005 but he still was active in 1998 in which he was recording songs, so obviously the "2005-present" needs to be changed to "1998-present" right now. 199.101.61.190 ( talk) 03:39, 28 December 2012 (UTC)
I get your reasoning, but my friend Annie Munson who does the same genre started recording in 1989 but didn't make an album untill 1995, yet she says that her coreer started in 1989. i thought it'd be the same with deadmau5, but i do understand your reasoning. i can't find anything in the article other than the name of an album that acknowledges that he was active in 1998 at all. 199.101.61.190 ( talk) 15:03, 29 December 2012 (UTC)
This article skips straight from talking about Get Scraped to Random Album Title, and doesn't mention "Vexillology" (except briefly) and "A Little Oblique" and the singles released by Play Records around then such as "Tau V1/V2" and "Stereo Fidelity". — Preceding unsigned comment added by Superion maximus ( talk • contribs) 21:35, 1 February 2013 (UTC)

Deadmau5 → Deadmaus – To be moved as per MOS:TM, "Follow standard English text formatting and capitalization rules, even if the trademark owner considers nonstandard formatting "official," as long as this is a style already in use, rather than inventing a new one"; "Avoid using special characters that are not pronounced, are included purely for decoration."

Eleutherius ( talk) 11:02, 21 May 2013 (UTC) strong oppose WP:TITLE supercedes all others here. His name is clearly spelt with the 5. Personally im of the opinion that we would unnecessarily start an edit war over a minor point of editing.
strong oppose if we are going to change the articles names based on stylistics wp conventions then we'd be better to just name the article Joel Zimmermann instead of calling it deadmaus. Also strong oppose based on the fact that the 5 in his name is an integral part of his name. When se7en was out it was often referred to (and still is ) by the use of seven without the numeral. People spelling deadmau5 by using deadmaus are usually only found on talk pages on wikipedia..

WP:MRV does not look very active. There hasn't been a topic there since April and there are zero active topics. I doubt there will be much of a response there, and it seems like a whole lot of trouble for a move that has unanimous support from several editors. MidnightRequestLine ( talk) 00:17, 7 June 2013 (UTC)
Also, I looked through the 8 sources you listed. All but three of them also used the term "Deadmau5" on the page. So five of your sources use the term Deadmau5. And I would contest that many of those are reliable anyway. I think it's safe to assume that anyone using the term "Deadmaus" is mistaken. MidnightRequestLine ( talk) 02:59, 7 June 2013 (UTC)
There is a mistake in the spelling of the name here. The proper spelling can be found on his official page http://www.deadmau5.com/
How do you pronounce the name? "Dead Mouse" or "Dead Mao 5"??

no its pronounced "dead mouse" — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.225.142.123 ( talk) 10:23, 18 November 2011 (UTC)
you can pronounce it however you choose, whether its "dead mouse", "dead mau", or "dead mau five". i use them all interchangeably. Joel has never said specifically which way to pronounce it. its really just stylized text, and so doesnt matter all that much. call it what you like. — Preceding unsigned comment added by theSHIZ_NIT1996 ( talk • contribs) 15:29, 23 February 2012 (UTC)
I used to say "dead mau five", but later found out it was supposed to be "deadmaus". funny thing is that I heard him say "dead mau five" in one of his video blogs.
