Deadmau5, aka Joel Zimmerman, the DJ-producer extraordinaire who dons a gigantic mouse head for every performance, is known for his amazing live shows…and the gigantic mouse head. Last night, the Mau5 came through Chicago to perform at the Congress Theatre, and he did not disappoint. Armed with a light show that can only be described as spectacular, Deadmau5 had the crowd in the palm of his hand with every bump of bass and scream of synth. Running through various rhythms and spinning his more signature cuts, such as “Ghosts N Stuff” and “Arguru”, Zimmerman even paid tribute to electronic royalty Daft Punk by sampling “Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger.” One of the most progressive dance artists out there, Deadmau5 was in full affect last evening, and it truly felt like a privilege to see him play.
