Now for some good news from the Deadmau5 camp following the exhaustion episode from earlier this month. Everyone’s favorite raving rodent has been selected to be the “house band” for the 2010 MTV Video Music Awards. The superstar electronic music producer will play exclusive remixes of other artists—presumably those nominated for awards. The show will air live on Sunday, Sept. 12th.

Deadmau5 has also been elevated to the status of in-game character in the latest update to Activision’s DJ Hero franchise, smartly titled DJ Hero 2. Jump for a first look at the in-game character.
