MOGUAI new album on mau5trap... “WE AR LYVE”
More Moguai related news, but I think anything mau5trap and any music this good deserves recognition.
This will be the 3rd album released officially on mau5trap, on physical CD and download.
Moguai recently joined mau5trap and released ZYVOX and Lyve as EPs before this.
At first I thought he would be a one off, but I was soon corrected!
Taken from his official site:
"Galactico record label Mau5trap have snapped up German producer Moguai to release his debut album 'WE AR LYVE', the only artist aside from imprint boss and global phenomenon Deadmau5 to do so - a statement in itself we think you'll agree!
Set for release on April 26th, we can exclusively reveal that the singles 'Zyvox' and 'Lyve' will feature with forthcoming monster EP 'Nyce/Blau' which are plucked from the intriguingly entitled 'WE AR LYVE.'
The label's previous successes have led to the album deal that will see the 10-tracker unleashed, not only digitally, but also in physical form.
Expect more details of the album to surface in the coming weeks for what is set to be one of the most highly anticipated electronic albums of the year.
'WE AR LYVE' is to be released on the 26th April on Mau5trap Recordings."
As 4 tracks have been released previously and are going to be on this album, we can assume that we will get another 6 tracks with this album. More on the tracklist closer to the time of release.
Just to repeat, this album is out April 26th.
As mentioned from his official site, there's also a new EP out now.
Nyce/Blau tracklist
- Nyce
- Blau
I've bought this EP. Both keep true to Moguai's recent style, with Blau being my personal favourite.
The EP is out now, and you can buy it on beatport here.
DJ Pixcell kindly allowed me to post this about Moguai here. If Moguai generates enough interest, then just give a shout in the shoutbox to tell me what you think. (Maybe another blog?)
As a side note, Deadmau5 is currently in LA recording his 4th album.
Check out his Myspace for upcoming shows and events from around May onwards.

Mau5 Olympic Gig >> Great Success
A little late, and yes I am sorry about that. But lets just say it need to sizzle. Well now that the fantastic, record setting, 2010 Vancouver Olympics are over its a great time to look back on the awesome things that did happen. Now obviously all of the great athletes were great to watch for 17 days, and the record setting 14 golds for Canada was awesome! Congrats to every country for their winnings, and/or even participation.. after all win or lose, you participated in the Olympics! Not a small feet indeed.
But other than the great athletes there were guest acts.. one of which we all seem to know..
Deadmau5! That's right, in case you didn't know Deadmau5 performed 2 shows at the Olympics.
Click here to see the line up of guests for the medal presentations (including Deadmau5)
Deadmau5 performed a fantastic gig to 8000 (in total 20000 in line [acording to Rukes]) people!
Now that is amazing. He 'Rick Roll'd' everyone as the soundcheck. Dropping his now famous remix of Orlando Voorn's Paco Di Bangos World.. which may I add sounds fantastic! (check out earlier posts for video preview)
Here he is a nice little clip from the gig;
Great turn out and lighting for the official ceremony.. really wish i could have been there.
And yes in case you were wondering, that is a team Canada jersey he is wearing, with "Deadmau5" as the name and the number "5".
Thats all for now Mau5 Fan5, keep posted, and follow us for moar! ;)
Deadmau5 Nominated For 3rd Year In A Row - Juno Awards
In total of 4 nominations from the Juno's, a Canadian music award show dedicated to awarding great canadian bands and artists from all over the country, this 4th nomination is for his latest album which was released September 22nd, For Lack of a Better Name.
He is followed by other artists in the category of "Dance Recording of the Year", artists include; Carmen and Camille, Doman and Gooding ft. Dru & Lincoln, Misstress Barbara, and Thunderheist.
Click Here To View Nominations @ Official Juno Website
A decent line up of good artists, but lets just say, I think Mr.Mau5 has this one in the bag. ;)
His fantastic "compilation album" has been out for a while, and even before its release was recieveing great reviews. He has grown from beyond your little obsession, this Mau5 has grown far beyond belief, he is now the biggest thing in (real) electronic music. All of us fans wish him good luck with this award, and while it may not be a Grammy, just know its not the award that matters to the fans its what you have personally accomplished, and apparently.. that's brainwashing all of us with your wonderfully hypnotic tunes.

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.Get it here, on beatport exclusively for now.
Click Here To Visit Beatport Page
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.
