Deadmau5 is a electronic musical act who has played for audiences around the world. Joel Thomas Zimmerman, or Deadmau5 as he is better known, often refers to his music as "without a genre". He tends to stay away from mainstream techno music, and likes to create his own style. With this style of music it is important to be original. Beats from different artists tend to sound the same because of the electronic style today's popular music is leading towards. His most popular songs would be "ghost n' stuff" and "the longest road" which got him a grammy nomination in 2009.
Deadmau5 recently decided to play a show at the K-Rock centre. I believe that this is a step forward for the Kingston music scene. Kingston has a good amount of rock acts and other classical styles, but has for a long while lacked any kind of progressive or house acts. To make things even better Deadmau5 was rated #4 Dj on a top 100 Dj poll by Dj magazine. To have such a good electronic act come to Kingston considering Kingston has little background with this style of music is impressive. Hopefully this will be a trend for future acts at the K-Rock centre.
