By Jamal Guthrie on Friday 27th January 2012

Deadmau5 has voiced his opinion the new Simon Cowell and Jada Pinkett Smith DJ talent show project and he's largely supportive of the idea.

The world renowned artist expressed his hope that the show provides a platform for up and coming Electronic Dance Music DJs.

"This concept, if anything, is going to catapult the awareness of EDM through the roof," wrote the star in a blog post on his Facebook page. He continued, "Give the underdogs a shot, see what happens... and EVEN IF no massive worldwide careers busted out of it... well sh*t, sure would be entertaining to watch wouldnt it?"[sic]

While the superstar DJ earned his position as a chart topper through years of hard work, playing to audiences of 100 people, he has no ill feelings towards the show's contestants getting a helping hand.

"Fate just so happened to strap a rocketbooster under my mousey ass, and it literally took off to the moon. It's more organic than anything else, or at least more organic than winning a talent show," adding "..ask me if I'm against a kid standing in line with a brilliant idea and a worldwide audience. nope." [sic]

Deadmau5 continued, "All i hope is that we can all tune into a show like this, laugh at the failures, and recognize and embrace originality / creativity / showmanship and passion." [sic]

He also accepts the challenge a successful DJ talent show poses to his own success. "I, for one, am very much looking forward to having to work harder, be more creative, and come up with new and insane off the wall ideas to keep my own 'deadmau5' project afloat. As for the rest of the artists out there hoping to keep their non-evolving ideas afloat by doing the same things over and over and over again... well... good luck." [sic]
