Canadian electronic music producer and Mau5trap label head deadmau5 has been one of the most prominent fixtures in the electronic dance scene during the early and late 2010s, instantly recognizable with his signature oversized mouse helmet.

From there, he remained a top ten fixture on the US and Canadian dance charts, going platinum in 2010 with his album ‘4×4=12’ and topping the charts three times in a row with his albums ‘Album Title Goes Here’, ‘While (1<2)’, and ‘W:/2016ALBUM/’.
