Electronic dance music magister, deadmau5, lit up the EDM world with this blog post last month:

deadmau5:

I think given about 1 hour of instruction, anyone with minimal knowledge of ableton and music tech in general could DO what im doing at a deadmau5 concert. Just like i think ANY DJ in the WORLD who can match a beat can do what “ANYONE else” (not going to mention any names) is doing on their EDM stages too.

In this episode of Q TV, Joel Zimmerman AKA deadmau5, expands on this sentiment and explains how he functions under his giant LED mau5 head helmet.

This is one part of a really great feature-length interview, catch the rest below:

• On selling out to dubstep
• On TMZ’s overblown coverage of his mom’s break-in
• On not having a problem with taking a call mid-interview
• Full 42-minute deadmau5 interview on Q with Jian Ghomeshi
