Fans of Canadian super producer Deadmau5 will only have to wait another month to get their mittens on the EDM giant’s new album.
EMI confirmed the news a short time ago, revealing that after a two year wait, the new Deadmau5 album ‘while (1<2)' will be given an Australian release next month.
It’s Deadmau5’s first double disc opus and will comprise 25 new tracks, with album opener ‘Avaritia’ due to premiere on Pete Tong’s BBC radio show this Friday.
Of the new record, the producer (real name Joel Zimmerman) says, “It’s a good mix of shit I want to do versus shit 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.”
‘while (1<2)' will be released in Australia digitally on Tuesday June 17 and physically from Friday June 20.
