Moguai - Oxygen EP / Top 100 DJs

Just dropping by to confirm that the EP for Moguai's Oxygen will be coming out on the 7th November on Mau5trap. This includes the remix by Mike Duz, who I've blogged about at least twice, including on a remix of Maths he was thinking about.

Here's the remix of Oxygen for reference.

Moguai - Oxygen (Mike Duz Remix) [mau5trap] (out 7 November 2011) by Mike Duz

The EP will also include remixes by Moguai himself and Jacob Plant.

If you haven't looked already, the Mau5 took 4th in 2011's Top 100 DJ poll, remaining unmoved since last year. Ex Mau5trap artist Skrillex took 19th, a high spot for a new producer. Claiming his position as 4th, Deadmau5 lamented the definition the magazine gives to the term "DJ", complaining that he is by no means a disk jockey. We can agree with that. "Top 100 EDM Producers poll" doesn't quite have the same ring to it, though...

Check out the standings in the Top 100 DJs poll here.

Lest I reiterate Saikotic's last post, just a reminder that part 1 of SOFI's new EP is up on Beatport, along with a slew of other releases such as Noisia's "Tommy's Theme".

Locked & Loaded Part 1; Trap Door & More

Sorry for the lack of recent news guys! Right now I'm gonna report on the recent release of SOFI's Part 1 of Locked & Loaded (yes you read that right, part 1!).

From the release description:

The multi-talented SOFI (Some Other Female Interest) is no newcomer. Having earned her stripes working with some of the biggest names in the music industry, she debuted on mau5trap as the voice behind deadmau5 singles Sofi Needs A Ladder and One Trick Pony from his globally acclaimed album 4X4=12. Now, SOFI returns to the label to deliver her explosive LOCKED & LOADED PART 1 EP, the first of a two-part series, consisting of dynamic collaborations with some of the most exciting electronic talent around. SOFIs LOCKED & LOADED PART 1 EP will be released digitally October 24 exclusively through iTunes and Beatport. The two tracks featured on it--Broken Souvenirs and Joyride featuring Vulgatron of Foreign Beggars are both collaborations with Brighton-based dubstep renegades Millions Like Us, who have remixed the likes of Hurts, Morning Parade and N-Dubz, and received support from Radio 1. Information on the LOCKED & LOADED PART 2 EP which will be released on December 5 will be made available soon. Broken Souvenirs delivers a powerhouse instrumental, building on a wave of delicate piano and swirling synths before dropping into a sonic onslaught of spiraling bass lines, pummeling drums and euphoric synths while SOFIs spine-tingling vocals soar through the mix. Its video, shot in London earlier this year and directed by The Moonrunners, made its debut this week on UKFDUBSTEP.COM and can be viewed at: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LLmUOOQauDI Meanwhile, fans can catch SOFI live this fall on the Meowingtons Hax tour supporting deadmau5 alongside Excision, Tommy Lee & Aero and other mau5trap artists.

Once I gather all the information released in the past few weeks (including that remix album), I'll edit this post to complete it. Until then, enjoy this killer new Feed Me track, supposedly being released on mau5trap.

Thats right we have a fresh from mau5trap release, uploaded on the UKF Dubstep youtube channel.. SOFI's first single preview; Broken Souvenirs featuring Millions Like Us!

New Deadmau5 South Africa tour ahead / New version of Raise Your Weapon

http://www.deadmau5satour.co.za/

In the most cyclic redundant (see what I did there?) advertising feat ever, this site and video linked to by deadmau5 himself confirms that there will be a tour in South Africa soon. The site is rather nondescript and links to the video...and the video points to the site. Dates, locations, all presumably TBA. We'll have it here as soon as it's revealed.

UPDATE: Dates announced

Cape Town, 1st December, Ratanga Junction
Durban, 2nd December, Wavehouse
Johannesburg, 3rd December, H20 Wild Waters

Raise Your Weapon, WIP Album version

Out of the blue, Deadmau5 linked to this WIP album version of Raise Your Weapon. In this case, the song takes on a melancholy feel, with no hard hitting synths, just pure chill. Oh, and with some extra vocals, presumably still courtesy of Greta Svabo Bech. Now I can see where Madeon got the extra vocals from for his remix...

Presumably, This is a WIP version from before 4x4=12, not for the next album. Shows how much songs change over time!

Oh, and just as a final note, we're testing out a new mobile version of the blog. To get there, hit this link! (hopefully on your mobile device...)

[MAU5038] Noisia - Tommy's Theme

Well, well, well. Mau5trap's surprise was a new release from Noisia. Should have seen this coming, as Noisia have produced some absolute bangers of remixes for Raise Your Weapon and Scary Monsters and Nice Sprites previously.

The track is called Tommy's Theme. Buy it, and I'll leave it up to your imagination who "Tommy" is...

Preview the FULL track HERE.

Something mau5trap this way comes

...is coming our way Monday. Mau5trap is ever becoming more of an active label by each day, with great new releases recently from Excision and Raized by Wolves.

However Deadmau5 has also been talking about his track "Maths" which appeared yonks ago but was never released. 9 months later, possibly it will get a release? Maths has had a new mix on tour, and it sounds a bit different, being played with what sounds like live synths.

I quote from the mau5 "did i ever release "deadmau5 - maths" ? or am i losing my mind?"

No, you haven't released it mau5, and yes, you are losing your mind! This track has been around for 9 months!

I'll remind you Mike Duz worked on a great new remix of Maths recently, we're still awaiting a release of Moguai's Oxygen, and SOFI's new EP Locked and Loaded. And to think mau5trap started off with one guy and a track called Faxing Berlin...
