Original subtitles

I still get nervous a little bit getting up on stage

But after the first minute that's it

Then I'm in the zone it's just

The first minute is me you know

Thinking about

Literally

7 to 10 different system

I all the same time

Trying to

Anticipate the first point failure in a show in and whether it's going to be Mission critical or not

Cash it does go down all the time and sometimes you never know from a

Spectator point of view but from my end I'm like

Having a panic attack up there because

You know something just kind of went out

But you know I can I can fix it like on the fly with a

The fader pulled down kind of thing and then save myself from that but

Usually after the first minute once

You have a system going and everything is going and it's still going and it's gone for about 60 seconds then you're in the clearing

So if you're

You're out playing your first show or you know you're playing at a club or you just being a DJ you know you're going to get

For the rest of your life

You know that first minute of panic and then after that

No problem

I'm half asleep

During a show

I'm not going to lie

I'm not I'm not

Feeding off the crowd's energy I could give a f***

F*** less if you were there you were

I'm just up there you know what kind of operating my thing in my world even though the mouse's Beaman write at you

You my head's actually tilted more this way

And we designed it that way so it looks like you know like I'm looking straight ahead but I'm not I'm just I'm looking down looking at my feet look

Controllers looking at that

Touchscreen monitor in that in that kind of thing why you got this

Mouse things

Piercing right in your gate

So that. That's an interesting thing but that's just me being brutally honest

Like to not know nobody stare for a minute

The only time I know the crowds there really is at the end

I do make a point you know the kind of come out in sin scope things out during like

Ghost and stuff I guess is cuz there's a

Is it good section about track that I kind of flipped it over to autopilot just so I can walk out

Yo

Where my hands around and say hi to everyone and kind of thinking then that's the only real audience engagement

And then it's back to work right thing off and then and then once like you know the last track is kind of on it

Last little Fade Out I know I'm pretty sure I can walk away from that and let that kind of do its own thing

I'll go out and do it again you don't do my thank you kind of thing and

Wave Hi and then walk off

But but

As far as the performance goes

Did the way I do things this is not the way other people do things this is not the way to

People should do things in this

It's the way I do things

Is that

I can't read an audience and then play to them and then

You know do some you know if you're happy and you know it clap your hands come on guys

You don't like I just that's not my

Might

Thing

One of the

Biggest plagues that have just I I don't like

It's not my taste but I'm sure there's something for everyone is when

A DJ has

To get on the mic and say

Everybody put your hands up everybody 123

Like like I was

So f****** stupid

That I didn't know

And I haven't heard enough electronic music in my life that I didn't know

That

He wouldn't have counted to three and on that for when that

Kick Drum started

I would have totally missed

So thanks man you are the best DJ in the world because if you wouldn't have f****** instructed me that that was

Coming

It's Justin

Salting to me

Bad EDM to me is like every song movie ever

You're f****** written

Because you watched the whole f****** movie and you're like

Okay that's cool

But

4 idiot

It's they have this last 15 minutes of every Saw movie

That have 2X

Explain everything like

Yesi

You see what I did there and that's why that I'm unlikely f****** no but

Believe it or not

There's

57 people

That didn't get it until the last 15 minutes you know so

Yapta

Pick and choose

What type of

Performer or how you want to represent your music

Chicken in the end that way

I think you should be really

People

Will get very tired of that very quick

A lot of people kind of dismissed this

This is me being a troll but quite honestly I wanted to do an experiment

A1 Ultra

I decided to play old MacDonald had a farm in the middle of my show

Just

Just to be a dick

No that wasn't really the reason

It was the most

F****** talked about thing at one of the world's most Forefront electronic music

That's what was on the front page of every f****** thing

Now I'm not saying everyone needs to go be an a****** in and do these like things but

It's it's the concept that you if you do something off the f****** wall at a live show

And kiss

Figured this out a long time ago to its like

Hey

Like

I'm a phantom Gene and and then kind of what he does and is banned in what they've been doing but their music is absolutely

F****** garbage

But that aside

I went to one of their shows

And I was

You fucken take him back like an end then taken down a few notches because

I mean

They knew

Benton they figured out where they learned or developed

That

If in mid sat during the most benign song

Kind of

Some weirdos knew the words too and mostly nobody didn't

You took off

Fake rocket launcher

And then said hey watch this on the mic and then pointed it up at the truss and then the Pyro guys in there with a

You need hates his life he hasn't do this every party

Jokes hit the button pyro goes off in a little piece of

Big truss

Falls down

Stupid ass f****** thing in the wall

It was so dumb

But

It was all

Everyone talked about all yeah and then so insulted a rocket launcher and blue piece out the trucks was awesome but like and then

I'm not talking about some

That's performance that's like

Putting on a show

And and that's what you're paying for for a ticket you know what I mean because

If you're coming to a Deadmau5 show or a festival to hear deadmau5

To appreciate and

Be a part of

And really take in the production value of the work that I put in the studio

Stay f****** home please love f****** God and buy the CD and listen to in the comfort of your own home where sweaty bra

Rose aren't f******

You know up your ass

But

You people go to concerts for the experience of seeing that in person and being with other people

And if you can switch these moments up and have moments in your show where you do things that are

Unexpected or just visually cool or you know people talk about that

That's

Adding the value to the

400 f****** dollar ticket

You probably paid to go to Coachella you know what I mean so like

$400 ticket to see you showing experience something weird like that with a whole bunch of people

Cool $400 to buy a CD a better quality

Sound and enjoyed in your home probably not worth

On show nights I don't I don't do s*** I show up

That's what I do and you know what here so here's my route

14 II

I get out of the car or get off the bus going to the dressing room

Eat a Nature Valley bar weigh on it

I grabbed my phone and I go on Twitter

That's funny

Reply that

Check some emails

Stage call 10 minutes okay and then I walk over there

PlayStation

A10

It's just that

That benign

And it's funny because I talk

Awesome tube

Torrent

Party all the

Time in

And be backstage

Craziness going on dude

Hi

I am so anti

Some of the smaller shows are play at where promoter like, my age

Manages

Coronavirus

We want you

No dude

I what I want

Absolutely nothing

Nothing

Take care of the crew and and whatever they want sure but like

Don't even pretend I don't even exist

It wasn't always like that

It was actually quite the opposite when I started

My first two years of touring was

Was fuckening

It was a lot of drinking it was

Who's a lot of partying is a lot of doing this who's getting in trouble not getting in trouble I bet it was a lot of that and then after that

I just decided you know what

I don't want to die

Sorta healthy

And this isn't for me so I decided not to

How to do it but there are dudes who have gone full career mode out of

Partying

Like animals

Before during a

If you can take it

And you like it

God bless you both

Me personally I just

It's like another day at the office

If you're not naturally comfortable on

Stage

From my own personal experience you should try putting on it

That covers your face

Do you want to see any

I'm just saying that's

Just a suggestion

You don't have to do it

I heard

From a guy

That.

Is a great
