deadmau5 Announces New Album

Canadian producer deadmau5 has today announced a brand new album, and it is set to be a double-disc project featuring 25 tracks, titled While(1<2). Said to feature previous releases as well as an array of never before heard material, the album will be the first full length project from the Toronto native since the release of his > album title goes here < back in 2012.

It’s a good mix of sh*t I want to do versus sh*t people want to hear or what they would expect. It’s a good balance. It’s not like, ‘Oh, it’s such a departure. He’s doing smooth jazz.’ It was when I was working on some live stuff, setlists for shows and stuff like that, and it just must have been a couple of tracks that sounded pretty good stitched together end to start and I thought, ‘Well, if I ever do an album or compile this into some kind of album this has got to be that part of the order for that.’ And I just kind of took everything and played musical Tetris with it.

With the album due to release digitally June 17, deadmau5 has released the first album teaser: a 30-second clip of a track titled “Avaritia,” which can be streamed below.
