Deadmau5 Shuts Down Santa Monica Apple Store

LA has a history of in-store appearnaces by popular musicians gone awry, most famously the Depeche Mode riot that occured when the band attempted to do a signing session for their Violator album. But few would have expected that Canadian electronic music artist Deadmau5 would cause such a rukus when he appeared yesterday evening at the Apple Store in Santa Monica, CA. Danceblogga reports:

A reliable source tells us that Santa Monica, California police shut down a scheduled appearance by Deadmau5 at the local Apple store last night before it could happen as a result of overcrowding.

There are two virtual decks on Touch Mix, as well as a crossfader and volume controls. You can adjust BPMs, and there are also a few sound effects including a scratch option.
