Deadmau5 giving his perspective on pre-recorded DJ sets

“When shit is so immaculately timed that everything is f***ing lining up, that means it’s on a playback system,“ deadmau5 said. “What do they do up there? Twiddle filter knobs and clap, yes, absolutely. That’s all you can do.“ “Most major festivals, you have to play a pre-recorded set,“ he explained. “Like EDC, I would be surprised if somebody actually played a set that wasn’t pre-recorded, to be honest. Because there’s such a big deal to the f***ing artist and the production schedule and the timeline and all that stuff that they wouldn’t want to f*** up.“
