Seeya Next Tuesday

Been awhile since the last update. Not much news since the mau5 has been on tour lately.

The biggest news right now is that that there is a new mau5head in the making for his Unhooked shows (he said this during one of the uStream streams). Pictures and details have yet to be revealed, we'll keep you guys updated, so keep your eyes peeled for more info.

Rukes has uploaded pictures from EDC (and they are absolutely amazing, be sure to check them out!)

And here are some videos from the uStream sessions. :)

This is how you produce music by farting.

Boards of Canada covers

If you like them, then pay attention to this blog post.

This uses a kind of dubstep style mix to it...and it's quite a good mix.

This one has a cool melody and sound to it.

These are 2 cool covers...And great songs by BoC. Got me interested in them...

Just Dance

So it may seem that deadmau5 might be in DJ Hero 2, judging from some footage and info from the latest DLC release for DJ Hero, which was provided to players as "a snippet of whats to come in DJ Hero 2." Whether a couple tracks of his or him himself as a playable character shows up in the game is pretty much speculation at this point.

He is indeed showing up in the game as a playable character!

Fueling the party will be a host of all-new social multiplayer game modes and innovative freestyle gameplay giving virtual DJ's the ability to crossfade, scratch and sample in over 70 speaker-blowing mashups from the hottest DJ's and Producers around the world, including Deadmau5 – part of dance music's elite – who will be starring as an in-game playable character.

This is also backed up by the photo that was taken by him at Coachella a month or so ago. (click here to view a larger version, then look below the crossfader on the controller.)
Let me know what you guys think in the comments, interested to hear others opinions!

Xbox 360 users can grab this free download and queue it to your consoles downloads with this link.

EDIT: Here's a newer video. Thanks to MattieBoy360 from TDC. :) Pause around 0:52, 0:55, 0:59 and beyond for glimpse of the e-mau5.

Joel also streamed for few hours on uStream last night, and I managed to catch about an hour or so of footage, check it out here.

Sleeping Beauty Pills - Live

We first found this track on deadmau5' soundcloud about a fortnight ago...

It was a bit of a tease, and didn't have the full song, but he first played the song live at sasquatch about a week ago...

And also at Hard Rock in San Diego...

But here is the video of the full song (I presume) at sasquatch...Don't listen if you want to wait for the album.

Deadmau5 & Beatport Music Awards

http://www.beatportal.com/awards/beatport-music-awards-2010/

Deadmau5 not only won best progressive artist and best electro artist, but also got most influential artist of the last 12 months.

In the best tracks of 2010, Sub Focus' remix of Ghosts n Stuff won the best Drum n Bass track, and Deadmau5' remix of Calvin Harris' "I'm not Alone" got best progressive house track.

Yet again, major success for Deadmau5 with awards.

Sleeping Beauty Pills

deadmau5 never ceases to entertain (at least in my books), and his latest work is no exception. It is definitely a different direction (think very Trent Reznor like, somewhat reminiscent of some of his old Get Scraped tracks), though it is by no means bad at all (or new, according to the mau5 himself, haha).

EDIT: Two new versions of the track were posted! Take a listen. I'll eventually get around to upping these on youtube.

So, thoughts, comments? I certainly love it, being a big fan of NIN as well as the mau5. Leave your opinion in the side-bar/comments! I'm interested in what you guys think. :)

Also, more RUKES! :D

Next compilation album "Deadmau5 At Play vol. 3" due June 14th

Last october I informed you of At Play 2.

Now it looks like Play records are going to release another compilation of classic mau5 goodness with At Play vol. 3...

Tracklist:

1. Cyclic Redundancy

2. Apply Overnight

3. Plus

4. Lai

5. TL7

6. Bounce

7. Full Bloom

8. Templar

9. Stereo Fidelity

10. Whispers feat Melleefresh (Remix)

This is incredibly lucky for me, as I was about to buy all these off beatport individually before this.

These songs have all been released before, and they are all quite old, but they're all golden.
