The house music star, real name Joel Thomas Zimmerman, explained his planned hiatus to fans in a post on his Tumblr.com blog, insisting he won't be cancelling any planned shows but he won't be performing again anytime soon.
He writes, "I'm going to unplug for a wee bit. Which doesn't mean I'm cancelling any upcoming shows or anything, I'm just gunna (sic) slam on the breaks for a bit and force myself to endure some quiet time. In that time, obviously the gears will still be moving, I'll still be writing, and the releases will still come out...
"I got a lot of work to do on some stuff. So, best I just chill the f**k out a bit and just get it done, and get it done right...
"Then our regularly scheduled program shall continue. But yeah, I'm basically pretty miserable right now and need to pull the f--- back and figure out whatever the f--- it is I do."
Deadmau5 has regular shows across Europe and North America running up until September 22, when he finishes his stint with a gig in Las Vegas.

He was allegedly found naked at the scene and lying on a stretch of roadway, and was given a shirt to wear for his mug shot.
An acquaintance posted the star's $21,500 bail on Wednesday, allowing a bare-footed Travis to leave Grayson County jail in Sherman, Texas in a light blue prison uniform made of paper and an orange baseball cap.
The singer was arrested on suspicion of driving while intoxicated and felony retaliation after he allegedly threatened to shoot dead the officers working the case.
AMY WINEHOUSE'S EX BLAKE FIGHTING FOR HIS LIFE!
Blake Fielder-Civil, who married singer Winehouse in Miami, Florida, in 2007, was found choking on his own vomit in bed by Sarah Aspin, the mother of his 15-month-old son Jack, and hospitalized in Yorkshire, England, according to multiple reports.
Doctors put him on a life support machine after he allegedly swallowed his tongue and suffered multi-organ failure.
Aspin tells Britain's The Sun newspaper, "The doctors don't know the prognosis and put him in a coma to help him. I'm praying he'll survive but I'm having to prepare myself that he may never wake up."
Fielder-Civil, whose pop star ex-wife Winehouse passed away almost exactly a year ago, has battled a heroin addiction, and confessed to introducing his ex-wife to crack cocaine and heroin in an explosive 2008 interview.
He met Aspin in rehab.
She tells The Sun Fielder-Civil had been doing well and the couple was making plans to wed, but she fears he relapsed after meeting a friend last week.
She adds, "He’s never really been a drinker, but when he got home with this friend, he was slurring his words and staggering. I thought he was on something. I was very angry because he’d been doing so well."
ALEXIS ON FIRE ANNOUNCES FINAL FAREWELL TOUR.
The Juno Award-winning post-hardcore rockers from St. Catharines, Ont., will launch the reunion trek at London's 02 Academy on Dec. 3, according to a graphic posted to the group's official website.
From there, the group will play two shows in Australia before hitting Canada for gigs in Edmonton, Calgary and Montreal.
The tour will wrap with a pair of dates at Toronto's Sound Academy on Dec. 26 and 27.
The quintet announced their split last August in a blog post, in which singer George Pettit said the breakup was necessary but "not really" amicable.
He added that fellow singer Dallas Green had informed the rest of the group that he wanted to focus on his Juno-winning City and Colour solo project, and the band decided to dissolve soon afterward.
A rep for Alexisonfire confirmed recently that the band's full lineup was expected to take part in the reunion.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY: WHITNEY HOUSTON WOULD HAVE BEEN 49 TODAY AUGUST 9TH.
 |
| Whitney Elizabeth Houston (August 9, 1963 – February 11, 2012) was an American recording artist, actress, producer, and model. |
So glad I got to meet my friend Whitney Houston who would have been 49 today. Happy Birthday in the HEAVENS! I remember when Bobby and Whitney invited me to come on the set of their reality show in Atlanta. "Being Bobby Brown" was shot locally and I spent so much time on that set with them seeing their real personalities. Some of the last pics before the show wrapped up are embedded in my collage above where people always told me in the 90's I looked like Whitney!
Miss u Whitney! Her new movie "Sparkle" is an upcoming American musical film directed by Salim Akil and produced by Stage 6 Films, set for release on August 17, 2012 release by TriStar Pictures--#MsKemi @HipHossip on Twitter

I woke up to hear that Sno had just been named senior vice president of A&R at Atlantic Records, and this morning those rumors were confirmed by the rapper himself.
He tweeted a message that was also retweeted by Atlantic -- by saying "From the streets to the Boardroom. SVP of A&R at Atlantic Records I am. Let's Get it!" That tweet has since been deleted and replaced with the MTV phrase he was describes as "Corporate Thug"
Jeezy's latest album, "TM103: Hustlaz Ambition," came out last December on Def Jam and he was in Canada earlier this year to tour in what became a string of concerts marred with shootings by wannabe Canadian THUGS. Jeezy does not subscribe to that kind of foolishness and violence. Music is music and Shyt is REAL. Stop the violence is all he preaches.

Congrats to Jay Wayne Jenkins aka Corporate thug Young Jeezy. Now let me see you make that money and exceed Jay-Z's earnings. Young Jeezy is a father to one son above and a community Philantropist who always gives back to the community. Every back to school season on a normal day, you will see him giving kids backpacks and school supplies all over Atlanta--MsKemi @HipHossip on Twitter
