DEADMAU5 - 4X4=12. RELEASED


If only this were a 100th post, it would be more fitting...

DEADMAU5' 3RD COMPILATION ALBUM ON ULTRA RECORDS - 4X4=12. THE MATHEMATICAL, MUSICAL, BUT MOST IMPORTANTLY, MAU5ICAL.

Tracklist
1. Continuous Mix
2. Some Chords
3. SOFI Needs a Ladder
4. A City In Florida
5. Bad Selection
6. Animal Rights (w. Wolfgang Gartner)
7. I Said (Michael Woods Remix)
8. Cthulhu Sleeps
9. Right This Second
10. Raise Your Weapon
11. One Trick Pony
12. Everything Before

Some Chords, the epic electro banger that held no.1 of the beatport charts for a while earlier this year...

SOFI Needs a Ladder, the vocalized edit of the bassy, staple song of deadmau5 and sofi...

then A City in Florida, formerly deadmau5' remix of Paco Di Bango's World from Orlando Voorn, an epic live song.

Bad Selection, the fun song formerly known as Hard Selection...

Animal Rights, really catchy, great synths, best played loud.

Michael Woods' Remix of I Said, the original synthy collaboration between deadmau5 and chris lake, now turned into a fast progressive journey...

Cthulhu Sleeps is the "techie banger" which has been echoing around deadmau5' live sets to great acclaim...

Right This Second, formerly Moonlight Sonata Esque / Atrium is progressive and epic.

Raise Your Weapon is the song with vocals by Greta Svabo Bech. Staple deadmau5 progressive chords lead up to an explosive dubstep finish.

One Trick Pony again takes SOFI's complimentary vocals and again employs deadmau5' take on dubstep...

and to end, Everything Before, an overlooked song from 2007, with some epic beats ending deadmau5' newest, and arguably best album.

GO BUY IT!

  4. Hurr Durr 4X4=16... Trololol...

    You know what, I kinda dn't know why people have been complaining about this... The track list was released months ago, so everyone knew what tracks were gonna be on it... Why buy it if you know you're going to be disappoint by it?

    Also, just so you know... I hate Chuthlu Sleeps lol

  5. Well ya know, I Said is a disgrace to the rest of the album, so if it were left out it would be almost perfect. I thought it had been left out because in the beginning the tracklist in this post didn't include it.
