News from Deadmau5 & co

On December 2010 Joel Thomas Zimmerman, better known as Deadmau5, released his fifth album 4×4=12 on Ultra Records. Coming in at track number 7, ‘Cthulu Sleeps’ contained a hypnotic flurry of strong wobbles that paired with Deadmau5 gritty bassline, created a very strong and aggressive impressions on the ears of fans everywhere.

With ‘Cthulhu Sleeps’ being almost 13 months years old now, just yesterday Deadmau5 released a similar yet incredably sinister follow up called ‘Cthulhu Dreams’. Most of the soft strings were removed leaving behind a strongly seductive and heavily filtered bass that quite frankly sounds like the evil twin of the original. And IT'S FREE!

The second part of this post is about an (everything points that will be awesome!) album coming in late January by the hand of the man in the picture below.

 

Moguai and mau5trap join forces to deliver the exquisite 'Mpire' EP -- the first single from forthcoming 'Mpire' LP virtuous Producer and tech-specialist Moguai is without question on the form of his career. Out the 16th January 2012, on mau5trap Records, comes the very first installment from his flawless forthcoming long player; the effortlessly stunning powerhouse single - Mpire!

Moguai has always had a knack for creating intelligent, original and multilayered soundscapes and Mpire is certainly no exception. Captivating, melodic and with driving swells throughout, it epitomizes what the majestic German does best. With a gloriously pounding energy that continues through two completely different, but equally engaging breakdowns, this juggernaut of a release is testament to the fine caliber of the author, and is as good an example as any of a musician at their peak. It's Moguai's best yet!

As the mau5trap regular gears up to deliver his insanely hyped artist album -- also titled Mpire -- on the 30th January, electronica-heads must wait just a little bit longer. With this fresh little piece of Moguai gold to keep us amused in the meantime however, these next two weeks will no doubt fly by. Not long now!
This brilliant track isn't free but you can buy it here. Any way, enjoy it!
