Deadmau5 apologizes to fans for drunken Coachella set — and says it's ‘probably' his last: ‘I don't remember a thing'

The Canadian DJ, whose real name is Joel Thomas Zimmerman, apologized this weekend after his Testpilot performance at the popular music and arts festival was cut short on Friday. Deadmau5 and fellow music producer Zhu, with whom he was performing alongside, were seen drinking behind their DJ decks while Deadmau5 struggled to stand upright, as seen in an Instagram video of the incident.

'Probably my last coachella show,' Deadmau5 wrote. The Instagram comments also included a back-and-forth between Deadmau5 and Zhu in which Deadmau5 admitted that he was drinking whisky during their joint Coachella performance. 7 'I dont remember a thing,' Deadmau5 admitted in an Instagram post on Saturday, April 19, alongside a photo of a water bottle.

Deadmau5 returned to the social media platform on Sunday to once again apologize to his fans for his behavior onstage two nights prior in Indio, Calif. 'Man, even my cat is disappointed in me. Tho, it could be argued that she always has been,' he wrote alongside a picture of his feline friend. 'Sorry about last night. Lol. TO BE FAIR, I felt the first 3/4 was great!' 7 'Man, even my cat is disappointed in me,' the DJ added in a second Instagram post alongside a photo of his cat on Sunday, April 20.

'Lemme quit smoking, do some f–ken personal resetting here at home, find my spirit animal, work on some new music, and come back better.' One day before his Coachella set, Deadmau5 took to Instagram to announce that he was 'coming down with a little bug.' But he told his fans 'don't worry' because he was '100% still going to rock out with Zhu' the next night. 'I'm going to try to quit with the cigarettes starting today,' he wrote. 'I haven't made a solid effort to quit in years. I've always wanted to, but my god, breaking a nicotine addiction is up there for me because I've always found it as a wonderful stress pacifier, but yeah. I think it's time.' 7 Deadmau5 said he was 'coming down with a little bug' one day before his Coachella set with Zhu on Friday, April 18. Instagram/deadmau5 Advertisement Deadmau5's shocking performance came after thousands of festival-goers were forced to brave long, 12-hour lines and near-record temperatures just to enter Coachella this year. While some attendees said the conditions were the worst since the festival first began in 1999, others compared this year's two-weekend event to the infamous Fyre Festival failure back in 2017. 'It was truly the worst experience ever and also super disappointing because of how much money we spent to be at an event that we really loved,' one attendee lamented.

deadmau5 Apologizes for Blacking Out During Coachella Set
The post deadmau5 Apologizes for Blacking Out During Coachella Set appeared first on Consequence. deadmau5 returned to Coachella last weekend to play the recently-added Quasar stage as his alter ego Testpilot, but he ended up pre-gaming a bit too hard before (and during) his set time. Billed in a B2B alongside Zhu, deadmau5 (A.K.A. Joel Zimmerman) was supposed to play an extended, multi-hour set on Friday night. However, the performance was cut abruptly short after Zimmerman was ripping shots, slurring his speech, making some… strong mixing choices, and falling over behind the DJ booth. Eventually, he had to be helped off stage, and the performance concluded before its scheduled end. He eventually acknowledged his stupor in an Instagram post on Saturday, writing, 'I dont remember a thing. But I don't think I had a cig? So… that's good I guess? Going back to bed. Wake me up around Thursday ish' on a picture of a water bottle. 'Probably my last Coachella,' he wrote in a comment. He followed it up with a more serious post later in the day, posting a picture of his cat and writing, 'Man, even my cat is disappointed in me. Tho, it could be argued that she always has been. sorry about last night. Lol. TO BE FAIR, I felt the first 3/4 was great! Huge shout out to @zhu for introducing me to whisky and carrying my dumb ass till the bitter end. lemme quit smoking, do some fucken personal resetting here at home, find my spirit animal, work on some new music, and come back better. ;)' See his posts below along with a few videos of his performance.

Jetify launches Testpilot, its AI QA engineer
Jetify, the company formerly known as is launching its first AI agent product Tuesday. Dubbed Testpilot, the company's first AI agent is meant to make the majority of the routine test creation process a matter of simply letting Jetify create a test plan, execute it, and report back, all while the agent directly interacts with the user interface. Right now, Testpilot works for web-based applications, but the team is also planning to launch mobile testing soon. The company's original focus was mostly on creating dev environments in the cloud. While it will still offer those (though maybe with a stronger focus on making those API-driven), Jetify CEO and co-founder Daniel Loreto describes Tuesday's launch as a bit of a pivot and as the first in a series of AI agent launches, all of which will focus on improving the software development lifecycle. "We feel, and I'm sure a lot of people feel this way, that AI is truly one of those once-every-30-year technology waves that comes along. It's like the invention of the Internet or mobile, right? So having the opportunity to be part of that wave and to really participate in it convinced us that, yes, let's take the risk. Let's shift," he told me. The team decided that the best way to get started with AI agents was to work on something that solved a clear pain point for developers. Nobody likes writing tests — and when it comes to UI testing, existing tools like Selenium can quickly become brittle with even the slightest UI changes. That's also exactly what AI tools are good at handling: They won't break, even when a button moves a few pixels to the left. Loreto also noted that QA teams are already used to using third-party tools for testing their applications, making Testpilot an easier sell. "It's a well-defined motion that companies say, 'Yeah, we need this end-to-end testing, and we're willing to hire a third party to help us with that,'" he said. He also stressed that this kind of end-to-end testing is easy to integrate into the development process since all the company needs from the developer is access to log in to the application that the service is meant to test. Since Testpilot looks at the actual application, not the underlying code, it doesn't need access to GitHub or any other code repository, for example. However, even though Testpilot today can cover 60% to 70% of tests that humans would likely come up with, there is still a gap. That's something Jetify acknowledges, but as Loreto noted, he thinks that this is still "a huge value-add." As of now, potential users still have to go through an onboarding flow with Jetify. Soon, the team hopes to launch a self-service version as well (with mobile support following after that). Jetify is still experimenting with how best to price the service, which is, in part, why the company hasn't launched a self-service version yet. Sign in to access your portfolio
