Deadmau5 debuts new multi-genre song preview “Satellite” featuring vocals from Kat Von D

Deadmau5 continues his pattern of dropping “in progress” songs with the preview of “Satellite”. This track is insanely smooth and packs quite the punch of emotion with accompaniment of vocals from Deadmau5′s girlfriend, the famed tattoo artist, Kat Von D. The song has so many layers, both organic and electronic all coming together for a very impactful production. There is an abrupt transition at 1:18, which sounds like the Mau5 is taking a minimalistic trap inspired approach.. but I have a feeling the song is simply unfinished. As the Mau5 says “heres the intro + 1st verse for you. :)” Kat’s vocals with the production work so well. This is set to come out on Kat Von D’s upcoming debut album.

deadmau5 drops off 2 Unreleased Song Previews + Ultra Music Festival 2013 Live Set

Deadmau5 continued his regular routine of putting out unreleased previews of his upcoming tracks as he experiments with them. First off we get a 2 minute tease of “moog bass + modular” which is a smooth melodic track reminding me a little of his anthem Strobe. Then next up we hear a change of pace with “Assume Control” which hits us with a dutch house styled ending that Deadmau5 refers to as “jacked afro crap”, which he claims was unintentional. These both keep us on our toes for new Mau5.

Also included is his set from the Weekend 2 of Ultra Music Festival down in Miami a few months back. He played a suprising set spanning from some classic hits to some techy underground cuts. All in all it’s a great balanced mix that should have Mau5 fans in a frenzy. Check out the full track-list below. Enjoy!

Deadmau5 – Arcadia : New Uplifting Trance / Progressive House

Deadmau5 let’s loose his latest dance anthem. It is another progressive track simliar to The Veldt with a strong uplifting vibe. I think it is safe to say that he is past the hard hitting electro / dubstep Mau5 and is solidly on the path to make the smoothest most melodic trance / progressive house around. Something about his productions have a certain dreamy mystical quality that tend to get the listener get lost.  This song “Arcadia” fills that exact descriptiong with a very smooth progressive feel with an overall minimal vibe. Enjoy!

But seriously this track has funky almost video game vibe to it. Listen to it real loud and you’ll get taken into an almost trance like state of feeling like your running through levels on old video game.

Foo Fighters – Rope (Deadmau5 Remix) : Sick Electronic Rock Remix + Grammy Performance

Today I’ve got a track of an official remix from Deadmau5 of Foo Fighters. This mix got released a little while ago, but I thought it was fitting since Deadmau5 and the Foo Fighters are going to be performing this track live tonight at the 54th annual Grammys.It seems like it leans a little bit more on the rock side with some Deadmau5 flavor added. Make sure and watch the Grammy’s to see Deadmau5 DJ on national television. Also good luck to Deadmau5, Skrillex, A-Trak, and Swedish House Mafia as they compete to win a variety of Grammy’s.UPDATE SPOILER: Skrillex Won Best new Album and Best Song for Scary Monsters and Nice Sprites, and Best Remix for Benny Benassi – Cinema (Skrillex Remix)!! Congrats Skrillex! Your’e taking electronic music to new levels in America!
