Much to the delight of his fans world over, international in-demand producer and innovative electronic live performer DEADMAU5 has unveiled a brand new video for "Ghosts N Stuff" leading up to the September 22 release of his second album FOR LACK OF A BETTER NAME  (Ultra Records).   Derived from his own concept, the video highlights characteristic elements of the artist, from his trademark mau5head to his alien neck tattoo, as he transforms from himself into a jovial ghost making his way through the night.  
 
Directed by Colin O’Toole, the "Ghosts N Stuff" video adds to the already recognizable visual aesthetics of Deadmau5 as an artist and live performer. The clip follows Deadmau5 as he lays on his death bed when his soul escapes his expiring body for a disoriented fantasy night of mischief, tattoos, food fights and costume parties, only to be resurrected back into Deadmau5 form.

”Ghosts N Stuff” is a highlight of DEADMAU5’s live repetoire.   For the upcoming album, the new and improved version features added vocals from Pendulum frontman Rob Swire.  The two have been bumping into each other backstage at various festivals over the course of the last year.  Having a mutual respect for each others' music, a collaboration was inevitable.  This timed nicely as the Mau5 was looking  for  someone to do the vocals on one of his key tracks.   The two finally got into the studio earlier this year and the result is a low-end electro stomper of huge proportions.
