Partial to his own material and assembling tracks live, Deadmau5 has garnered tons of respect in the DJ community for his distinct, hands-on style. Voted Artist of the Year by Beatport and ranked as the world's #4 artist in DJ Mag, the Grammy-nominated DJ has skyrocketed to fame over the past few years with international singles and an incredible stage show that's won the world over.

And now he’s about to hit Vegas...hard.

Having already headlined a slew of sold-out shows in Vegas this year, the electronic music sensation will be taking his craft to a whole new level in 2012 with the launch of his own residency at XS Nightclub and Encore Beach Club at Encore Las Vegas.

The Great Mau5 Man kicks off the first installment of his residency January 2nd at XS Nightclub and is sure to bring the same style, the now infamous mau5head, and impressive masterpiece sounds to his epic residency truly living up to his reputation as the most influential, relevant, and forward-thinking person in electronic music.

The international DJ superstar is a perfect fit for these spots as XS Nightclub was named Mega-Club of the Year by Nightclub & Bar and the Encore Beach Club was named "Best Adult Pool" by USA Today. EBC also has the distinction of being one of only two Las Vegas venues listed on DJ Mag's "Top 100 Clubs" list --a great spot for what is sure to be one of the world's craziest and best recurring dance parties.
