It’s no secret that we at the Flickcast are looking forward to the musical onslaught of new mixes being brought to the XBox 360, PlayStation 3 and Wii with the upcoming DJ Hero 2. One of the biggest announcements to the DJing world for the game is the inclusion of deadmau5 (pronounced “dead mouse” in case you were wondering).
While his name isn’t what one would consider household yet, you may have heard the work of the Canadian house DJ without even knowing it. deadmau5 was one of the guests at Activision’s star studded pre-E3 party to help promote DJ Hero 2. Also, in Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars for the Nintendo DS, PSP and iPhone, there was a radio station dedicated to the giant red headed deceased rodent.
An award winning DJ, deadmau5 will be a selectable avatar in DJ Hero 2. In addition, his track “Ghosts ‘N’ Stuff” which won the International Dance Music Award for 2010’s Best Electro Track will be mixed with Lady Gaga’s just dance. Take a peek after the jump at a :30 clip of the song.
Make sure to also take a look at some of the screens of deadmau5 in action as well. See it all after the break.
The Definition of “Geek Chic.” Comic books, sci-fi movies, Buffy: The Vampire Slayer, Xbox 360, Nintendo DS, Lord of the Rings and more all rolled up in a Diesel wearing, club going socialite package. Having worked in both advertising and television, John is a lifetime writer always being a part of the creative process. John knows the television world between his experience on being involved with the production process of over two hundred episodes of prime time tv and being a self admitted media whore.
Yes he has a weakness for trash tv, Michael Bay-esque action movies and the raunchy teen comedy as well. Never try to debate the Original Star Wars Trilogy versus Star Trek with him because the Holy Trilogy always comes out on top. Having partied with movie stars to Playboy centerfolds, John is somehow always able to find someone’s inner geek.
The simplest rules that John lives by is to have fun and doing what makes him happy. There’s no shame in being a geek. Play Halo, read Spider-Man and proudly display the whole series of Neon Genesis: Evangelion on your DVD rack. And most importantly, make sure to read his weekly comic book pull list reviews at The Flickcast.
