Many of today's DJ's perform wearing masks, like Mustard Pimp, Daft Punk, The Bloody Beetroots, Cyber Punkers, and many others. Among them is the french producer The Toxic Avenger. Known simply as Toxic, the DJ performs both masked and unmasked, blurring the lines, unlike many other producers. Toxic, while known for his trademark fast, pitchy melodies, has also become famous for his videos. They are more short films than music videos, and consistently amazing.
Toxic manages to gain mainstream level publicity, being remixed by huge names like the Beetroots, while staying true to the fundamentals of electro. He doesn't play huge arenas, instead he packs small clubs. He doesn't DJ on stage, but rather on level with the crowd. Toxic is about the music, not the hype.
