“Nothing changes. I’m still writing new music and doing everything I do”: deadmau5 speaks on selling his catalogueThree months after selling the rights to his entire catalog to Create Music Group, deadmau5 has spoken on the sale.
In a new interview with Billboard Canada, the DJ and producer – real name Joel Zimmerman – shares his reasoning behind the monumental sale, which reportedly netted him a cool $55 million.

“It was time to just let it go,” deadmau5 says. “I’m not so attached to [my catalogue] that I think it would’ve been some huge asset 20 or 30 years down the line.” The sale included all of Zimmerman’s biggest hits, including Strobe and Ghosts ‘n’ Stuff.

 
The sale also included the entire catalogue of Zimmerman’s record label, mau5trap. Since its founding in 2007, a huge number of prominent dance music artists have contributed to its catalogue, including ATTLAS, Matt Lange, Rezz and Excision.
The label remains a space for exciting newcomers, too, including Skellytn, EMSKI and Lamorn.
“I mean, I’m sure they’ll make all their money back and more,” deadmau5 tells Billboard. “But for me, it was just time to reel everything back in, throw some money back into production for the next couple of years, and then start over. So, nothing changes. I’m still writing new music and doing everything I do.”
Zimmerman made the sale to Create Music Group, which reportedly agreed to a joint venture between Zimmerman and the mau5trap artists should they engage in any future plans for previous releases. Under this venture, Create Music Group has also opted to remaster certain staple tracks in addition to building on the brand with new content and partnerships.
Upon the sale in March, Create Music Group CEO Jonathan Strauss said: “Now, as the stewards of deadmau5 and mau5trap’s legendary catalogue, we inherit a legacy that changed music forever. Joel’s influence reaches far beyond sound – his mastery bridges music, gaming, and technology, inspiring a new generation to think bigger. This is more than an acquisition; it’s a responsibility.”

iOS 19: All the rumored changes Apple could be bringing to its new operating systemAs Apple prepares to unveil iOS 19 at WWDC 2025, several rumors have surfaced, including a potential new name for the operating system and more.

Bringing a Father Ted Joke to LifeInspired by a gag from a mid-90s sitcom Father Ted, [Stephen] decided to create his own talking tape dispenser.
This project is a actually a follow-up to the first version of the dispenser he built back in 2022, and [Stephen] has documented the process thoroughly for anyone wanting to build their own. In the first version, he modified a tape dispenser to house a Raspberry Pi, enabling voice functionality. In the new version, he replaced the Raspberry Pi with a cheaper ESP8266 and designed an entirely 3D printed dispenser that looks closer to the screen-used version.
A clever change was replacing the rotary encoder with a custom encoder embedded in the printed parts. Using a photodiode and an LED, it measures the tape pulled from the spool. As you pull the tape, the encoder calculates the length and announces it through the speaker, just like in the show.
