EDM founders Richie Plastikman Hawtin and Joel Deadmau5 Zimmerman agreed that ‘today’s electronic dance music suffers from the pursuit of commercial success’, the Wall Street Journal reported this week, in a review of their joint appearance at SXSW.

Deadmau5 also revealed he’s ‘always aspired to be a lot more underground and less big room sound’ at the SXSW conference debate as well as confessing ‘without the mousehead . . . young listeners might not be interested’ (WSJ: http://on.wsj.com/Y9uJuf )

Commenting on Twitter, UK house legend Sasha seemed unimpressed.

“fuck edm…………Deadmau5/Hawtin tell ?#SXSW commercial $$$ killing electronic music,” he responded.

“Great advice for young producers. Without a silly hat no one will listen to you ?@deadmau5”, he added. https://twitter.com/sashaofficial

Zimmerman and Hawtin’s attack on commercially minded EDM producers came just days before Vegas’ newest nightclub Hakkasan confirmed they’ll be paying him $425,000 per show for a season of performances which will see him lining up alongside Steve Aoki and Tiesto (who’s being paid just $250,000 per set).

“With all the projects I have going on right now, I’m so excited to be back in Vegas doing what I love to do best,” Deadmau5 commented on his new deal.

Sasha’s new mix compilation ‘Involv3r’ is out shortly.
