When I caught up with deadmau5 (Joel Zimmerman) on a Tuesday afternoon in mid-August, it\u2019s raining in Toronto and one of his three cats, Peanut, is going a little crazy with the thunderstorm outside. Zimmerman has been in the basement, where he\u2019s been trying to resolve a developer challenge, before he emerges to speak to us. \u201cI\u2019ve spent the last 16 hours redoing topology on a certain thing and I just never want to do it again,\u201d he explains, then quickly quips, \u201cbut it\u2019s for the greater good.\u201d He\u2019s working on something he can\u2019t yet fully disclose.<\/p>\n

He hints at what he\u2019s been up to, and you know it\u2019s going to be big. He\u2019s expecting Serj Tankian, best known as the frontman of System of a Down, to drop by when he\u2019s in Toronto soon, so Serj may be one of the first to know more. The two may seem like an odd pairing, but actually, their kinship makes perfect sense. Each is incapable of putting on airs that match their fame. And they both speak and live their truth, which sometimes has consequences in the press.\u00a0<\/p>\n
