In a recent and lengthy Facebook update Deadmau5 has signalled his relaxed attitude to the potential idea of DJ competitions heralded by the mainstream.

“It seems that EDM has been deemed fashionable enough these days to warrant its own long overdue prime time slot to the masses.

“This concept, if anything, is going to catapult the awareness of EDM through the roof.

“Yup, our poor little coveted secret cool underground society will be thrown into the masses. Is this a bad thing? I don’t think so.”

This comes in light of Simon Cowell tossing up the idea of a DJ x X Factor tv series to find the ‘best new talent’.

Maybe Deadmau5 has missed the whole point that once things become so easily accessible, it loses its foundations… but hey, we don’t have a day named after us, what would we know?
