deadmau5 recently overhauled his studio in his Toronto hometown and following his full-scale European tour this past spring, he locked himself in and went on a creative spree to finish “> album title goes here <”, his new album due out September 25.
Following his performance with the Foo Fighters at the Grammy Awards earlier this year showcasing his remix of the group’s “Rope,” deadmau5 continues his collaborations in the rock world by enlisting the vocal talents of Gerard Way, lead singer of My Chemical Romance for his new single “Professional Griefers.” Fans first got to experience “Professional Griefers” as an unreleased instrumental track during deadmau5’s North American Meowingtons Hax tour last year, premiering the track at his critically acclaimed headlining performance at Lollapalooza.
All the tracks on > album title goes here < are deadmau5 original productions. They include collaborations with “Animal Rights” co-producer Wolfgang Gartner (“Channel 42”); vocalists Imogen Heap (“Telemiscommunications”) and Chris James (“The Veldt,” the critically acclaimed track inspired by the Ray Bradbury short story); and legendary hip-hop MC Cypress Hill (“Failbait”). There are also new pieces like the Close Encounters of the Third Kind classic film-inspired “Closer,” the dance floor burner “There might be coffee” and electronica piece “Sleepless.” Like “Fn Pig” and “October,” many of these tracks have been available on deadmau5’s SoundCloud as rough edits. For > album title goes here < they come together as finished songs in the format the way he intends them to be heard by his fans.
