A video of Canadian house and electro producer Joel Zimmerman, a.k.a deadmau5, prank-calling ex-emo brostep producer Skrillex has emerged on video site uStream.
Skrillex is signed to deadmau5’ mau5trap label, and the two are good friends, with the two often joking over Twitter. In the video, which deadmau5 filmed himself, the star can be seen calling a confused Skrillex pretending to be a staff member at production hardware company M-Audio.
deadmau5 then tells Skrillex that they’ve been holding over 120 M-Audio triggerfingers back for the star – a product which Skrillex famously uses alongside a laptop. Skrillex has often seen a lot of online criticism for his lack of live equipment, not even wearing headphones when he ‘DJs’ live. deadmau5 then reveals his true identity, and Skrillex takes the joke in good heart. Check out the video below.
If you’re a fan of Skrillex, you can catch him touring the UK this February and April. Fans of deadmau5 can also see the star at a number of venues on his three-day UK tour in June.
