Back on March 4th, we were tipped off that Joel Zimmerman aka Deadmau5 had released a new song under as his alter-ego, testpilot. While all signs looked convincing, now Deadmau5 told Inthemix at Sydney's Future Music Festival that it really was him. “I was just trying something different,” says Deadmau5. “I kind of knew that if I put it out under an alias it would be fuckin’ five minutes before people figured out it was me. I mean, EDM all sounds the same to me. But with techno – minimal techno, or heavy techno, or neo-progressive techno – fuck, it’s all techno! Goddamn. You know what I mean? It’s got a kick every 4/4, so everything in that realm I’m cool with.”
Deadmau5 also confirmed that this wasn't the first time he had released songs as an alter-ego and without telling anyone. “I don’t talk about it, but yes I do have aliases and I do put out music in those channels, just do it.”
