“deadmau5 & REZZ Decode Their Creative Process

In the first of our special NXNE covers, the two Canadian electronic music visionaries get deep into their musical philosophies, what they’ve learned from each other, and their ongoing creative collaboration as REZZMAU5.

“We produce in two totally different ways,” says Joel Zimmerman, the man behind deadmau5. “I am so old school and she is so new school.”

Both artists hail from Niagara Falls, Ontario, and both are known for their innovative production, DIY ethos and big-stage spectacle. They’re both big thinkers and big presences, instantly recognizable for their larger-than-life visual trademarks – deadmau5 with his signature LED mau5head helmet and REZZ with her hypnotic spinning light glasses – and they both have dedicated cult fanbases.

They have different sounds and use different tools, but they come together to blend the best of both of them. It doesn’t happen often, but it’s special when it does.” – Richard Trapunski
