You may have heard rumblings of a new big mau5trap release recently, and you'd be right to listen to them. Noisia's Special Edition of Split The Atom is due out on mau5trap Feb 27th. According to some web rumor rumblings, the first CD will contain 21 regular Noisia tracks, leaving CD 2 to hold 11 remixes.
Here is the tracklist of the remixes floating around the blogosphere at the moment.
Stigma (Neosignal Remix)
My World (Posij Remix)
Split The Atom (Kito Remix)
Soul Purge ft. Foreign Beggars (Current Value Remix)
Diplodocus (Kill The Noise Remix)
Tommy's Theme (Munchi's Fear Is Weakness Remix)
Thursday (Black Sun Empire Remix)
Diplodocus (Upbeats Remix)
Alpha Centauri (Excision & Datsik Remix)
Machine Gun (16 Bit Remix)
Tommy's Theme (Loadstar Remix)
And Noisia themselves released a video yesterday, highlighting their Australia tour.
Not many producers get handpicked by deadmau5 to conjure a full length artist album for his prestigious mau5trap imprint; so for German specialist Moguai to get the nod twice in as many years is one hefty testament to the sheer quality, imagination and originality of his musical output.
Now, and less than two years since the critically lauded release of his first ever mau5trap album We Ar Lyve back in April 2010, Moguai returns to the fray, and on the form of his life, for the agonizingly-awaited worldwide release of his latest long-player project – Mpire.
Available to buy from 30th January 2012, the album itself is an exquisite piece of craftsmanship; artistically inventive, masterfully honed, perfectly coordinated and not an ounce short of what we’ve come to expect from this outstanding producer, working so consistently at the top of his game. With the juggernaut first single (also titled Mpire) released earlier this month and already flying high at #1 in the overall Beatport chart, Moguai now looks set to further silence competitors and wow critics with this stunning new set of fresh, forward-thinking soundscapes, skilfully and thematically tied by an innovative touch that only he can attain.
Diligently incorporating elements of house, techno and electro, this work – two careful years in the making – has Moguai’s signature sound stamped all over it. Whether it’s the luxuriously complex, driving harmonies of Dynamo and Heimaterde, the progressive artistry of Lyme and Tommy Trash collaboration In ‘N’ Out, or the relentlessly pounding tech-bedlam that is N.E.O, this stunning album delivers more than it’s fair share of peak-timers to satisfy the cravings of dancefloor junkies worldwide.
But it’s the spellbinding euphoria of tracks such as Invisible, Styrum and Out of Nowhere that elevate this album to that next level of innovative flair – one that so many artists struggle to achieve. Gentle, hypnotizing and evoking emotions of tranquillity throughout with their mesmerising synth progressions, these welcome moments of calm within an otherwise club-focused collection captivate the soul and carry the listener on a delicate journey through the ethereal. Just one listen and we begin to understand why the Mau5 himself insisted so strongly upon another Moguai LP instalment.
With some perfectly fitting collaborations and three exclusive offerings to round off proceedings (one each for Beatport, iTunes and Spotify) this album will no doubt be a mainstay in the collections of electronic music lovers young and old for years to come. In true testament to the infamous German composers that came before him, Moguai has created a masterpiece of a symphony that is as diverse as it is ingenious.
So there is new Feed Me on the way. A release date, or whether or not this is being released on mau5trap is yet to be confirmed, but news of new Feed Me is good news! Along with the announcement tweet of new material, there is also a new North American tour underway.
EDIT:
UFK's video of the Feed Me & Gemini collab confirms a release date of Feb 6th, and a mau5trap release.
All is quiet on the mau5trap front, except that Moguai's new track Mpire is charting at #1 on Beatport! Nothing unusual for a mau5trap release I might add.
Supposedely soon we will see news of a Maths (EP?) release and a Professional Griefers EP release, as always, when those are out, we'll let you know. :)
And so outta nowhere, the modern remake of Aural Psynapse is finished, and has been released on iTunes this morning! Interesting enough, it seems to be an iTunes exclusive, so far. Follow the links for more info and the iTunes page.
So who wants to see more older stuff?! I know I do. Especially Creep. :)
Now that I have time, here's a more detailed and updated post. Click the image above to reach the pre-ordering page for the NEW deadmau5 live dvd. It will feature footage filmed tomorrow at the toronto show in the Rogers Center itself. 30 minutes of footage will be stream on live.deadmau5.com. The catch is, you need to subscribe to the stream on the website, so enter your name and e-mail and you'll be able to watch it when it goes live.
Ever wanted a sneak peek into the way the visuals for the live shows work?
Last, but not least, there has a been a release of mau5 remixes floating around, put out by not Ultra, nor mau5trap, but by the London-based label 'Cubrik'. It releases on Nov 21st, and it's legitimacy still seems up in the air, so if you have any info, be sure to let us know. The full album boasts 21 remixes in total and is available to pre-order from HMV and eBay? Weird, right?
Set to be released on Oct 24th, on mau5trap is SOFI's new and first EP, Locked & Loaded.It will feature tracks produced by Noisia, Millions Like Us , Skrillex & Kill The Noise.
In other news, the mau5 tweeted on Wednesday that he was planning to collaborate with Excision, I know I'm pumped for this one.
EDIT: Seems like X-Rated is only being released on mau5trap for the time being, which is pretty interesting since Excision and the like have been very loyal to the Rottun name (perhaps CD release?). But nonetheless, we have a new heavy-hitter on mau5trap!
___________________________________________
Per the mau5trap Facebook postings, this is speculated to be Exicision's new album, X-Rated, which looks like it will be released on both Rottun Recordings and Mau5trap. We'll keep an eye out and let you know what happens there. Excision has been touring with the mau5, Tommy Lee, and DJ Aero the past few months, and we look forward to anything he releases on mau5trap.
And another little tidbit, the people who manage the mau5trap page also left us this, let the speculation begin!
EDIT: More news, Pete Tong recently announced that he will have a "new deadmau5 / feed me & Skrillex on the show this week", per his Facebook status (social networking, where would we be without it?). We will also keep an eye out for this show tomorrow on bbc. Unfortunately, the new tracks happened to be Cott's Face and Where Are My Keys, and the Skrillex being Ruffneck.
If you're interested about the rest of the compilation, you can find it on this youtube channel.
Tomorrow (or today, depending on what time-zone you're in), Feed Me's new original track "Cott's Face" will be released on mau5trap, exclusively on Beatport, and once I find an appropriate link, you can be sure you can find it on this blog post. :)
Also more rumoristic rumblings, courtesy of SJRimmington, who run's a neat blog over at Nothin's Gonna Change, a certain article from Kik Axe Music, states that today, mau5trap is also set to release a Meowingtons Hax compilation, which includes Tommy Lee and DJ Aero's new singles, Static and LFO Tool. Note that any word of this Meowingtons Hax comp is not confirmed at all and is simply rumor at this point, the only words to come from mau5trap which might be related came in the form of a recent tweet from earlier tonight. Click the picture for a link to the tweet itself. Should there be an actual release, I'll also post the beatport link for that.
TOMMY LEE and DJ AERO have partnered with DEADMAU5 and his MAU5TRAP label to release their new singles Static and LFO Tool tomorrow, August 25thvia the MEOWINGTONS HAX compilation
Embedded below is the video for Static. And yes, that is Skrillex's manager. Video is partly NSFW.
So, tell us what you guys think!
EDIT: What also might be interesting, is the audio in this video found on Adobe's Student site. Mau5 original or not? It remains to be seen. If you know what this track is, or any info, let us know!
EDIT: New updates! The big suprise mau5trap told us about is the Meowingtons Hax Tour Trax Bundle.
As Deadmau5 embarks upon the Meowingtons Hax North American tour alongside a host of the Mau5trap stable, the label head leads the charge with a brand new compilation. It features new and exclusive tracks from Deadmau5 himself and a host of the artists featuring on the tour, as well as a selection of tracks from new additions to the label that you can expect to hear a lot more from in the coming months. With contributions from Feed Me, Tommy Lee & Aero, Excision & Datsik, Zedd, Moguai, Al Bizzare and James Njie, this compilation is set to be the soundtrack to the tour carnage that will undoubtedly ensue. Opening with the insistent, driving powerhouse that is Where My Keys, an exclusive track from Deadmau5 himself, the compilation goes straight for the jugular. Moving through the jarring Cotts Face by Feed Me which fuses together glitchy drums and erratic synth lines and onto recent tour additions Tommy Lee & Aero the compilation doesnt hold up for a second as they deliver two fidgety electro house party starting tracks. Excision & Datsik turn up the heat with Deviance as grinding beats and growling basslines meet extra-terrestrial synth lines, proving once again why their star is most definitely in the ascendant. Zedds remix of Skrillex smash Scary Monsters & Nice Sprites channels the power of the original into a filthy 4x4 monster while Moguais Beat of The Drum surges forward on the elastic synths and rolling bass line with Sofi delivering her vocals with attitude.Upcoming Mau5trap artists Al Bizzare and James Njie also feature on the compilation. Al Bizzare brings Blast Wave to the table, a many-headed beast that switches up glistening synths and swelling bass and is in turns both euphoric and gritty. Rising talent James Njie rounds off the compilation in style, introducing himself with two futuristic progressive house tracks that are at once delicately nuanced and full of impact, speaking volumes of his talent. Mau5trap has grown exponentially since its inception in 2007 and become home to some of the most exciting electronic artists in the world. The new compilation features just some of the talent that the label champions and offers up a decisive musical statement whether you are going to the upcoming tour or not. To celebrate the release of the compilation, the Beatport version will come with selected track parts available for digital DJs giving them the chance to get creative. *The Meowingtons Hax tour runs from 11th August to 5th November, starting in Vancouver and ending in Toronto.

Moguai had a short run out of mau5trap at both Skint and SIZE records, however he's now back with a new single with a style similar to 8001 / Stay Planetary. The single also comes with remix parts for all the budding artists out there. Moguai is also said to be doing a compilation for mau5trap soon.
Hi. My first blog post here, and not strictly Deadmau5, but I thought it was worth shouting about, until Deadmau5 finishes his tour and starts solidly working on stuff.
This looks like a one time release from Moguai, a bit like Sydney Blu, ZYVOX, with a special remix by Steve Duda, (Deadmau5’ right hand man in BSOD.)
ZYVOX does what (maybe joel’s) description says it does. “An epic piece of electronica with rolling beats and hypnotic hook this is a sure winner on mau5trap! One half of BSOD, the legendary Steve Duda turns in a dubbier dreamier remix (Yet still with that trademark BSOD bassline)”
If I’m right Moguai has done some electro stuff before.
Very mau5 like, if you ask me. I’d recommend getting it here:
I’m looking forward to the release date of For Lack of a Better Name, and I hope it’s a little different than the promo release (at least it won’t have Ultra Deadmau5 promotion) because I have been listening to the promo. I also hope they release ghosts n’ stuff in UK on iTunes. Because beatport is rather expensive. But amazing for all the electro music you can’t get in iTunes.
And also a quick note that iTunes 9 is also released. Has much more features than iTunes 8. Over and out from my first blog post, Psylark.
