Deadmau5 Criticises New Reality TV Show ‘Superstar DJ’

[Cupe]

Deadmau5 along with other EDM artists Mat Zo and Porter Robinson have given their opinion on a new reality TV program with the working title Superstar DJ. The show is geared towards discovering ‘the next electronic dance music DJ/Producer superstar’.

Casting director Doron Ofir (Paris Hilton’s My New BFF, Jersey Shore) is behind the project and those wanting to audition for the show can head over to edmcasting.com and answer questions such as: ‘Break down your typical day from the moment you wake up till you call it a night’ and ‘Describe your personality (the good and the bad)’.

Unsurprisingly, the reality program has been criticised by EDM artists who didn’t obtain notoriety by entering a contest show. Perhaps the most vocally opposed artist is British DJ Mat Zo, who has blasted Ofir directly on Twitter. The outspoken Deadmau5 and fellow American DJ Porter Robinson have also tweeted their opinions on Superstar DJ.

The people on these shows will be there purely for their ridiculous 'jersey shore' style personalities, not anything to do with their producing or dj abilities.

They won't get any respect from anyone in the industry.
