Beats 1 Announces New deadmau5 Show ‘mau5trap presents’

[MacRumors]

Popular music producer and performer Joel Thomas Zimmerman, most popularly known as deadmau5, is set to join Apple Music's Beats 1 radio station this Friday. The 35-year-old artist will have his own show, called "mau5trap presents," debuting at 3PM PST on Friday, March 18.

Besides the announcement tweet via the Beats 1 account, no other specifics regarding the content of mau5trap presents were given. Still, considering the genre and work Zimmerman is known for, there will probably be a heavy focus on electronic dance music in the show. It's also unclear whether or not Zimmerman will be given a recurring presence on Beats 1 or if mau5trap presents is a one-off performance.

Although Zimmerman has supported Apple at iTunes Music Festivals in the past, last year the Canadian artist was mostly seen in public support of Jay-Z's streaming service TIDAL, joining the ranks of artists like Rihanna and Kanye West who also support the platform. The specifics of his deal with Apple remain unclear, but due to a recent public feud with West over the latter's alleged piracy of various music creation software and albums, it seems that Zimmerman's original backing of TIDAL is slowly being rescinded.

Deadmau5 will join artists like Dr. Dre, Pharrell, Major Lazer, and Haim, who've all had shows on the Beats 1 station on Apple Music. In an interview recently, Beats 1 radio host Zane Lowe spoke on the artistic freedom that Apple allows of its Beats 1 creators, claiming that Apple Music doesn't place any restrictions or rules on them or their specific shows, letting the hosts play whatever they want in their designated slot.

Epic!
First the iconic Eric Prydz with PrydzMix and now Mau5 joined the party!
Joel Zimmerman (deadmau5) is very talented, crazy and honest music producer. He is sort of anti-EDM guy who actually makes something cool, same as Eric. So as a fan myself, it is great to see these 2 people making Beats1 mixes now and then.

What's Tidal???

 

[Jozone]

Just wish they would provide access to the recordings of shows after airing (without an Apple Music paid account) -- I haven't been able to jump ship from Spotify premium.

 

[LordQ]

Looking forward to this! Beats 1 is getting way better.

He's actually not that talented. Ask anyone who really knows EDM and they'll tell you Deadmau5 is just a hack.. a copy/paste producer as he's always recycling the same sound of his over and over again. There's a reason why he hates Marcus Schossow; the guy made a track called 'Very Exactly' under a pseudonym 'Deadrat6' which sound A LOT like any generic Deadmau5 track. When Joel Zimmerman found out about this during a gig in Toronto where BOTH of them were scheduled to play the same night, he threw a fit and refused to DJ if Marcus was going to play as well.

Or how about that time when he produced samples for Fruity Loops as part of the stock package that came with the purchase of Fruity Loops. When some guy produced a track that used those loops LEGALLY, Joel threw a fit and demanded they stop and wanted to take further action (can't remember if he wanted to sue or something).

Joel Zimmerman is a diva... anyone that respects this guy either doesn't know how much of a douchebag he is simply has no integrity to be associated with such an egomaniac.

Mau five trap??

No, see, the five looks like an 's' so you read it like like maus... maaaawwwsss. It's kind of l33t, as the kids say.

 

[Laurence Eckert]

I thought he was on Tidal lol. I guess he realized how unpopular it was and jumped ship.

 

[yg17]

Wow, I can't think of anything I'd rather listen to less.

Maybe Fran Drescher and Yoko Ono singing while dragging nails across a chalkboard, but that's a tossup.

 

[Moorepheus]

Wonder how many of us are using Beats 1?

 

[dsgm]

Couldn't care less.

i think maybe you could care a little less, as you came to this page specifically to comment

 

[lunarworks]

The ****-talking is going to be incredible.

 

[Blujelly]

Kanye beef?

haha possible

 

[Andres Cantu]

And one-by-one they are leaving Tidal, which quickly went from the #1 free app to nowhere-to-be-found on the list.
