Canadian DJ and producer, Deadmau5 performed under his underground techno alias, Testpilot, for the first time in four years, like a headliner at Movement’s Sunday Mainstage.
During his set at Movement, a three-day techno festival held over the Memorial Day weekend at Hart Plaza in downtown Detroit, because of the rain, Deadmau5 experienced quite a few technical problems out of his control.
There was a long pause during his set, but the Canadian producer dealt with the situation by cracking jokes and drinking beer on stage. We all know that Joel is very professional and highly skilled musician, and this kind of technical difficulties can happen to everyone.
A fan was there to capture the moment:
Who caught the secret @deadmau5 comedy set tonight?

@MovementDetroit @deadmau5 Meh, he was okay. Obnoxious burping into mike. Silence would’ve been better. #lame

Rain and technical issues out of his control didn’t stop @deadmau5 from making the #Testpilot show happen! Track selection was on point!
