Deadmau5 Wonders 'How The F*ck' He Wound Up On EDM Compilation

Ever since the golden days of "Now That's What I Call," we've watched groups like The Backstreet Boys go from fame to fad with one foul swoop of the cheesy compilation album. 

Though, with pop sensations, it's rather expected they'll wind up on some pre-teen's birthday wish list. But not the most cynical man in dance music. And it seems he didn't either, as with the recent news that deadmau5's aptly titled 'Suckfest9001' is the leading track on Universal Music Group (UMG)'s "Now That's What I Call EDM 2014," the EDM hater can only seem to wonder as to how this may have happened. 

now thats what i call... assinine.

In an even more ironic twist, deadmau5 recently made headlines by publicly dissing EDM on his Coffee Run video with Kaskade, calling it "Event Driven Marketing," among other things. Watch below.

Joel even had a few words for UMG, saying he's "good enough at ruining" his own music.

"now thats what i call EDM" ... yeah... well ... what do you call a cease and decist? nice try @UMG ... gg no re.
