"I don't really enjoy dance music. I don’t get excited about it… but I love the process of making it”: deadmau5 on being here for the “technical challenges and sonic development”, and how his interest in music production was sparked by Tears for Fears

The past 25 years might have seen him become one of the most well-known names and faces on the electronic music scene - despite the fact that he’s spent who-knows-how-much of that time wearing a big-eared helmet - but deadmau5 has admitted that consuming dance music isn’t really something that he’s got a lot of time for.

"I don't really enjoy dance music," the man born Joel Zimmerman told CBC. "I don't partake. I don't pump it in my car. I don’t walk it, I don’t talk it, I don’t breathe it, I don’t get excited about it… but I love the process of making it. I like the technical challenges. I like sonic development."
