Electronic music icon deadmau5 is marking 25 years in the industry with a new book, offering a retrospective look at the career, creative evolution and cultural impact of one of dance music’s most recognisable figures.
Titled book_title_goes_here: 25 years of deadmau5, the 320-page hardcover publication is released through Soi Books and features more than 1,000 colour photographs documenting the Canadian producer’s journey from his early gigs to international tours. A significant portion of the material comes from Zimmerman’s personal archive, with previously unseen photographs, backstage moments and behind-the-scenes documentation offering fans a closer look at his career.
The book details the tech and design of deadmau5’s live shows, including his iconic cube stage (debuted at Coachella in 2010) and the Kx5 project with Kaskade at the LA Memorial Coliseum. It features photos with friends like Tommy Lee, DJ Aero, Steve Duda, and SOFI. Zimmerman called it a “wild ride” and expressed excitement over sharing these memories.
