Deadmau5 takes on Roseland Ballroom October 4th

Right off the bat, I’d like to apologize for being so busy these last couple of days. I’ll admit, I haven’t even been checking the site, let alone updating it.  So I decided that today I should try to come through with a nice post about none other than the Canadian DJ, Joel Zimmerman. Pardon my french but who is this guy that he’s able to perform six straight nights in the hottest, most congested venue in NYC? He’s either the most passionate DJ ever, or just an incredibly smart business man. I mean, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday!?  He booked and sold out these six straight shows at the same crappy venue that he played at last year – Roseland Ballroom. The fact that tickets are being flipped for over twice the face value (even with six shows lined up) attests to his crazy popularity in NYC. Last night, Deadmau5 started his six show run with a set that may look like one of the better ones of 2011.   He went through popular tracks like “Raise Your Weapons”  Noisa Remix, “I Remember”, “Moar Ghosts N’ Stuff”, “Ghosts N’ Stuff”, “FML”, my personal favorite “Strobe”, and even the new track “Professional Griefers“.  He went through many other songs and what really added to his performance was the amazing stage set up (just basing it off of the videos).  The Light show looked crazy as usual, but whats new? Deadmau5′s concerts have always delivered mind blowing visual effects.  I could go on forever about this show and Joel, but since I may actually end up going to one of the concerts this weekend, I will return with a possible review soon.  Click “Read More” for some great footage from this concert and to download some of our favorite Deadmau5 tracks.
