This is a story from 2014 but given recent twitter spats between deadmau5 and other artists, we thought it relevant to show just how much of a good guy Zimmerman really is.

People seem to forget that between all of the hateful tweets and seemingly constant attacks against other producers, that Joel Zimmerman is actually quite the nice guy. He has a “horde” of loyal fans and when one of his horde is attacked, he steps up to help out.

A fan of deadmau5 named Zac Campbell was attacked leaving a DJ competition recently and Joel caught wind of it and decided to donate some very needed items to get Zac back on his feet.
