New release from one of the biggest names in dance at the moment - Deadmau5

Anyone that attended a deadmau5 show this year would have experienced electrifying live renderings of material from his third production compilation album 4x4=12, due out December 6 on Virgin Records.

The Guardian said of the live show... "With respect to Kraftwerk and Daft Punk, this must be among the most visually spectacular shows in dance music history."

Whilst The Observer said... "It's the personality DJ turned into sermonising sensationalist, the decks turned into hi-tech pulpit, the performer mutating into pure illusion, a new commercial art form emerging from the smoking ruins of pop history".

Performing in front of hundreds of thousands at major festivals and venues across the globe including Brixton Academy (3 consecutive nights), Creamfields and Cream (Amnesia), Ibiza to name a few, electronic music's most talked-about artist and producer unveiled a wide range of new songs to accompany his roof-raising visual show.

With his revolutionary LED mau5head which flashed space scenes and robot smiley faces, deadmau5 highlighted his sets with tracks like 'Cthulhu Sleeps', 'Some Cords' and the atmospheric track 'Raise Your Weapon' featuring Picture Book singer Greta Svabo Bech. Also included on 4x4=12 is the deadmau5 vs. Wolfgang Gartner collaboration 'Animal Rights'.

The album's next single 'Sofi Needs A Ladder', featuring spunky delivery by vocalist Sofi, made its live debut this past March at the Ultra Music Festival in Miami where deadmau5 was joined by Sofi and iconic drummer Tommy Lee in front of 50,000 fans. Virgin Records will make it available on Oct 31st. Other highlights from the album include 'One Trick Pony' which Sofi also appears on and the Michael Woods remix of 'I Said', a deadmau5 collaboration with U.K. DJ/producer Chris Lake.
