Where: Surf Beach, Sunway Lagoon
What: Clubbers and ravers behold! Get excited, as the most massive dance event of 2011 is about to dawn upon us!
For the first time ever, EUPHORIA by Ministry of Sound is going outdoors! This massive outdoor dance event features a very unique creature in the world of dance music – deadmau5, 1st time in Malaysia!
This 7th May, EUPHORIA is proud to present deadmau5 LIVE in Surf Beach, Sunway Lagoon. The world’s largest man-made beach will be transformed into an immense spectacle of visual display, featuring a full-fledged LED production. Along with the recent shows around the globe, Grammy nominated and the world’s number #4 DJ, deadmau5 will be bringing his custom built, state-of-the-art LED equipped DJ booth: A 3-sided cube tipped forward at 45 degrees that projects stunning multi-layered video designs and dimensionally mind-boggling visuals. This cutting edge build up houses all the gears where deadmau5 unleashes his equally massive breaks and beats.
Credits for the phenomenal design of the cube goes to none other than lighting and set designer Martin Phillips and Catalyst/LED technician John Mcguire who are also responsible for the lighting during Kanye West’s “Glow in the Dark Tour” and the famous pyramid from “Daft Punk’s 2007 Alive Tour”. The duo’s futuristic visions that created the deadmau5 cube also produced remarkable accompanying stage lighting during and the revolutionary LED mau5head.
Throughout the show, expect a paramount display of visual eye candy across the mau5head in sync with both the music and cube’s visuals. Complementing the artist and the cube are gigantic LED walls stretched across the stage paired with stunning sci-fi imagery, trippy psychedelic kaleidoscopes and digitally generated solar systems. 3D perspectives from the stage that are constantly changing and in motion give an optical illusion to the audience, spreading vibe and excitement. As all these elements come together, it will truly be a spectacular sight to behold!
Who: Joel Zimmerman doesn’t like being called a DJ. The 28-year-old dance music phenomenon from Toronto, better known as Deadmau5, rolls his eyes a the description, which he sees as a hopelessly outdated way of describing what he does. His sets are closer to live performances. He plays mostly his own material, assembling tracks on the fly, using cutting edge computer technology, including software he’s helped write himself. “There are no CDs involved,” he explains. “It’s a technological orgy up there and I try and keep it more my music than anyone else’s. If people come out to see Deadmau5 I want them to hear Deadmau5 music.”
It’s an approach that’s catapulted Deadmau5 into dance music’s A-list. It’s no exaggeration to say that he’s the most exciting name in clubland right now. Over the last three years he’s released a string of club hits, starting with the trance-house hybrid Faxing Berlin in 2006. It was followed last year by the euphoric filtered keys of Ghosts N Stuff, while this year he reached Number 14 with the lush atmospherics of I. Remember, his collaboration with American producer Kaskade — the track has now sold over 120,000 copies. This October, Zimmerman releases his new album, For Lack Of A Better Name, which brings together the best of his single releases from the last 12 months. It’s not hard to see why the the pulsing dance groove of Hi Friend! featuring MC Flipside and FML’s military percussion and hard-hitting bass hook continue to fill dancefloors around the globe. The first single will be a new version of Ghosts N Stuff, featuring vocals from Rob Swire, one half of drum’n’bass/rock fusionists Pendulum. It’s electrifying stuff.
Hard to believe that three years ago, Zimmerman was all but unknown. He grew up in Niagara Falls, Ontario, 75 miles south east of Toronto. As a kid he was obsessed with computers. When he was 15 he started making chip tunes. “They’re musical compositions made using the chips from old computers,” he explains. Fellow chip tune alumni include Jesse Keeler from MSTRKRFT, while hipster duo Crystal Castles are heavily influenced by the scene. When Zimmerman was 18, his chip tunes attracted the attention of the nu metal musicians in Los Angeles. At the time, artists such as Marilyn Mason were exploring a more electronic sound. Zimmerman ended up contributing to Mötley Crüe drummer Tommy Lee’s 1999 rap metal album Methods Of Mayhem. Ten years later they remain friends as well as collaborators; last year they released two electro house singles — Chicken and Redic — under the name W.T.F.?
