It’s exactly what you would expect from the notorious Joel Zimmerman, aka deadmau5, but his latest antics still provide for a good chuckle.
With the official opening of DJ Mag’s Top 100 poll comes over-the-top advertising campaigns begging for votes from the EDM community. In a bid to land on the list, which has lost much of its prestige of late, DJs often lose their own credibility in the process. However, deadmau5 is one who we can always expect to stay true to form, and he did just that when recently taking to Twitter for several sarcastic remarks about the poll.

In a way, this probably encourages deadmau5 fans to vote for him in the poll. But either way – it’s a good laugh.
