Dubstep by deadmau5...or...dubmau5?

Not a proper release, by him, but something interesting.

If you didn't know, deadmau5 made a soundcloud a while back so you can drop some of your promos or your own tracks for him to listen to. Maybe scouting for his record label.

You can access the dropbox there. (excuse the profanity. It is deadmau5' username)

Also there, are some dubstep songs he's just made. Check them out.

Can't embed them, but more importantly, can't download them either. Which is a real shame, as I really like these. Makes me think he should change genre more. (Then go back to trance, which is my real favorite genre for the mau5 to make.)

Also is a news feed from beatport, explaining some various things (his tattoos and his time at coachella)

You can book deadmau5 dates for his UK tour from his myspace.

That's all from me. Let's hope for some new releases soon, and possibly some REAL new material in the coming months.

'I Said' out on beatport now!

New track I mentioned in my last post, 'I Said' is now out on beatport. Included remixes are the Michael Woods remix and the Sergio Fernandez remix.

deadmau5 + chris lake - i said

1. I Said (Original Mix)

2. I Said (Michael Woods Remix)

3. I Said (Sergio Fernandez Remix)

IMO, the Michael Woods remix is amazing. The original is pretty good too.

According to deadmau5' facebook...

"I said" was written in 2007. In a basement apartment. with a little phatty and a PC and a Chris Lake...goes to say it's amazing to be able to work with someone so talented with so little and get those results. and yes... "i said" was then re-done into "Arguru", now, micheal cracked at the old original and rinsed it... so were putting it out again..."

So that is why it sounds like Arguru. Regardless, I think it is a must buy. Some early mau5...

Also out now is the Strobe EP....on iTunes for a MUCH lower price. Click HERE to view/purchase on iTunes.

General update and some new tracks

So, deadmau5 has now FINISHED his tour. Well deserved break for him. Apparently we'll have a 4th album this year.

However recently he's been dropping a load of new songs into his sets. Well, more specifically, remixes.

That's the notorious song that got #1 Christmas single last year. Looks like deadmau5 is a fan too. He's put his own touch on the song.

For the next album, I was wishing that we'd have a more trancy album like RAT. I've now changed my mind after hearing these. Check these out.

This seems to be ripped from a radio set, and I love it. Has some vocals from Chris Lake in it. Sounds like a less trancy Arguru. Skip to about halfway to hear that.

Last, we have another remix of a song I've never heard before. His style definitely fits in with this though.

These have all been ripped from recent sets, not by me. Credits to the people who ripped them for the videos.

He's also been making some music on Stickam.

He also has another show in April, which you can book for here.

And, last of all, guess who got URB readers poll of the year...best artist of 2009...

That's all from me. Keep mau5'ing.

Xmas n stuff.

(Sorry for burying Strobe EP...look down for the great news about that...Very good EP, just wait for iTunes, hefty price of 10 pounds there...)

As it gets closer to Christmas I cannot ignore the song that has been going round in my head all day, which no doubt you will enjoy.

EDIT: I almost forgot that it's nearing New Year too...which means New HD mau5head soon! Be excited...We'll most likely see it then.

Merry Christmas!

Also of note is this new song that Deadmau5 has been playing in his live sets.

Apparently called October, however it could be called anything different, as posted by someone random on Youtube... Was pointed out on TDC, but now we have the full song set rip.

Another thing. I'd like to point out to you Deadmau5' stickam profile, where he often just mixes random songs. Beware, the chatroom is full of spammers, but watch out and you might see something new.

http://www.stickam.com/profile/deadmau5

And his facebook profile where he often posts things about new stuff.

I'm very impressed with Strobe EP, Plump DJs remix is awesome although it doesn't really have anything similar with original song in places. DJ Marky & S.P.Y remix sounds very drum n bass / dubstep if you're into that, Michael Woods remix definitely best IMO.

Lastly I'd just like to point out to you all a bunch of killer songs that Deadmau5 uses in his sets. Check here.

And out from me, and CHECK OUT STROBE EP! vvvvv

My personal opinions on the EP? Not bad, but not what I was hoping. (in a bad way) My personal fav mix would have to be the Plump DJs remix, but the original is still my favorite. Over-all its a decent EP, every remix is definitely worth listening to, and still has some of that classic Strobe feeling we all have grown to love.

If your a DJ buy this EP on Beatport, if your an average listener, I would wait for it to come out on iTunes or similar music store. I personally find the prices on Beatport over-priced, but you pay for the quality of the bit-rate, so it is a good thing if you are a DJ mixing some tracks. ;)

Strobe Remixes / Moguai / Wristbands

New email from Deadmau5 says that next EP will be...Strobe Remixes!

Quite exciting- and Strobe has been met very positively, and deadmau5 has been playing it at most concerts.

Will also be good to learn who's doing the remixes for this legendary track. I'm thinking trance producers.

More will come of the strobe remixes as we hear of it.

I'll also quickly give a shout to the new Touch Mix app on iTunes for iPod touch / iPhone.

US Wristband!

Also on deadmau5.com is the US equivelant of the UK "roundhouse set" wristband. This wristband includes the Terminal 5 set, Ghosts game, wallpapers, Ghosts n' stuff Remix video (Sub focus remix to ghosts n stuff video on uk wristband) as well as of course the Terminal 5 set. I'm guessing this is similar to the roundhouse set but here are links to buy both wristbands.

US UK

Next up is a new release on mau5trap by moguai, an EP called Lyve/Impereal.

I take it back about Moguai being a one time release on mau5trap. Could even be seeing an album by him. Deadmau5 says he's the one to watch in 2010...and he certainly thinks high of him to call him the best uprising artist of 2009 on Top 100 DJs...

Listening to Lyve, it sounds similar but not the same to ZYVOX.

Description: After a sterling debut release, Moguai (deadmau5's 'one to watch' 2010) answers the call once again and turns in another outstanding EP in the form of Lyve.

Pulsing bass, rolling chords and glitchy pads all add up to give Lyvea truly euphoric atmostphere, think Gui Boratto and Deadmau5 in one in Hamley's and you're just about there.

Impereal takes things bigger and more hands in the air. With huge stabs, side chained bass and climbing caves, dance floor devastation is almost certain.

This EP comes just at the time I'm learning FL Studio - I'll watch this one closely.

New Mau5Head!! ..another one!

Well thats right, ANOTHER variation of the mau5head!! This time we have something the most unique compared to the others. Blue head, yellow eyes, white mouth, and black ears!! Now to me, this is by far the most pimpin' mau5head there has been yet! I am a big fan of the style.

..don't you just love that new mau5head smell?

Well all we got to say down here at Mau5ItUp is that we hope this is the final one before we get to see this infamous LED Mau5Head!!
