    Deadmau5 is often viewed as callous and cold due to his at-times rough remarks aimed at other disc jockeys, but behind that tough exterior is a kind soul who is prepared to share his kindness with the world. With World AIDS Day right around the corner on Dec. 1, (RED) is ramping up its public awareness campaign for the day and is using deadmau5 to target the younger demographic. In partnering with Coca-Cola, (RED) and deadmau5 will be offering the prize of a lifetime for one lucky fan to hang out with deadmau5 and have a custom mau5head made for them, according to Dancing Astronaut. This is not the first time deadmau5 has worked with (RED). He contributed the "dance (RED) saves lives" album in 2013 with his hit single "The Veldt." As part of that soft interior, he has also worked with the Make-A-Wish Foundation recently to take a kid out to dinner and bring him on stage during a performance.
