W:\/2016ALBUM\/<\/strong> is his first release as an independent artist via his own label mau5trap.<\/strong><\/h4>\n

W:\/2016ALBUM\/<\/strong>, a myriad of original deadmau5<\/strong> compositions ranging from atmospheric to techno to old-school synths with NME <\/strong>calling it, \u201ca judicious side-step away from the plasticky insta-rush of EDM, it finds Zimmerman rebuilding his sound around the huge collection of classic and rare synths he\u2019s lovingly assembled in his new studio.\u201d There\u2019s \u201cLet Go,\u201d<\/strong> one of the album\u2019s centerpiece selections with moody atmospheric vocals from Grabbitz<\/strong>, \u201cCat Thruster,\u201d \u201c2448\u201d<\/strong> (written as the new anthem for Canadian hockey outfit, the Toronto Maple Leafs), the rising techno of the superb \u201cImaginary Friends\u201d<\/strong>–inspired by deadmau5<\/strong>\u2019s own love for gaming, specifically eSports–and the slow-building \u201cNo Problem,\u201d<\/strong> a song whose quirky intro of bells and synths is reminiscent of Tom Waits<\/strong>\u2019 \u201cWhat\u2019s He Building In There.\u201d Expect a variety of mau5 classics as \u201cGhosts \u2018n\u2019 Stuff,\u201d \u201cStrobe\u201d<\/strong> and many others as well.<\/p>\n

deadmau5<\/strong>\u2019 new stage show–a kinetic version of his previous cube with many enhancements\u2014made its debut last night via \u201cLive In Rehearsals,\u201d<\/strong> where he gave a livestream performance on his YouTube channel<\/a> of songs from W:\/2016ALBUM\/ <\/strong>and unveiled his updated, custom-built Cube 2.1<\/strong>, giving not only a sneak peek of his new music, but also the opportunity to explore the famed cube that is central to his upcoming live performances. Standing at 15 ft. tall and 16 ft. wide<\/strong>, making it larger than its predecessors, Cube 2.1<\/strong> features internal robots that push the sides of the cube–consisting of state-of-the-art LED panels–up and around while projecting brand new graphics. deadmau5<\/strong>\u2019s original cube made its debut at Coachella<\/strong> in April 2010, catapulting him to become one of the most in-demand live acts in the world<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

On deadmau5\u2019s<\/strong> YouTube channel<\/a> in the coming weeks, experience exclusive content including the livestream performance<\/strong>, 360-degree and standard format performance videos <\/strong>of the lead single \u201cLet Go (feat.
