Named after his cat Professor Meowingtons, deadmau5’s Meowingtons Hax show debuted at Lollapalooza in Chicago where SPIN.com hailed it as the #1 set at the festival. It features incredible production—a menagerie of lights and LED (check out a clip from Lolla HERE which compliments deadmau5’s live repertoire of hits, classic cuts and brand new music. During his set, deadmau5 is joined by vocalist SOFI on “Sofi Needs a Ladder” and “One Trick Pony.” ( Her Locked and Loaded EP is now available on deadmau5’s mau5trap recordings).   

Deadmau5 plays mostly his own material, assembling tracks on the fly, using cutting edge computer technology, including software he’s helped write himself. “There are no CDs involved,” he explains. “It’s a technological orgy up there and I try and keep it more my music than anyone else’s. If people come out to see deadmau5, I want them to hear deadmau5 music.” Named after his cat Professor Meowingtons, deadmau5’s Meowingtons Hax show features incredible production—a menagerie of lights and LED (check out a clip from Lolla HERE)
