DEADMAU5
‘WORLD TOUR’

NEW ALBUM ‘RANDOM ALBUM TITLE’
DUE OUT DIGITALLY SEPTEMBER 2 AND IN STORES NOVEMBER 4
VIA ULTRA RECORDS
IN NORTH AMERICA (U.S. & CANADA)

“Deadmau5 is doubtless one of dance music's golden boys…His dark take on

shimmering four-to-the-floor is chameleonic, lending itself to the virtual DJ bags of

everyone from electro-crunchers to big-room conductors.”
–Arielle Castillo, Miami New Times (August 7, 2008)

He’s the hottest name in the world of electronic music, creating music that transcends the charts. He’s also known for his tailor made giant Mau5head and his name is DEADMAU5. This fall, he’ll embark on his massive ‘World Tour’ presented by Beatport and Puma in anticipation of his debut album for ULTRA Records, Random Album Title.

DEADMAU5–the JUNO Award-winning producer and electronic artist who flirts with techno and minimal beats, while hinting at tech house, trance and electro–kicks off his ‘World Tour’ September 1 in Las Vegas, NV. Over three months he’ll travel through three continents and perform over 50 shows in such countries as Brazil, Mexico, the U.K., Ireland, Argentina, Canada and America. From the Virgin Festival in Toronto to Electric Factory in Philadelphia to Parque Vincente Guererro in Mexicali, Mexico, club music enthusiasts everywhere will get to experience live the sights and sounds that made Beatport name him their “most influential, forward-thinking and relevant person.”

At these shows DEADMAU5 will showcase the material that will appear on Random Album Title. The album, set for release via ULTRA in the U.S. and Canada as a digital exclusive September 2 and in stores November 4, brings together for the first time all of DEADMAU5’s most popular material including smashes “Not Exactly” and “Faxing Berlin” along with his collaboration with Kaskade “I Remember” plus new songs “Some Kind of Blue” and “Slip.”

The concept of his live show operates off a laptop with a Lemur, Anomaly and visual effects, set to change the face of live electronic performances as we know it. Complete with his signature Mau5head with its powerful strobe lighting eyes, this mind-blowing piece of costume is worn to maximum effect during his live shows; yet another addition to the ever-increasing aura that surrounds this unique young artist.

In less than a year, the Canadian-based whiz kid has gone from near obscurity to receiving the accolade of Producer Of The Year, beating various supremos to the top spot while also becoming the number one-selling artist on Beatport and the most in-demand producer in electronic music now. Singles “Not Exactly” and “Faxing Berlin”—which appear on Random Album Title–have amassed over 30,000 sales between them on Beatport alone, with the former hitting the top spot for six weeks. It still retains its status at the greatest selling release on the site while his productions have hit the Beaport #1 spot on no less than 12 occasions. His tracks are some of the most powerful and innovative sounds of recent years, with the U.K.’s Radio 1 and every other major radio station around the world from Rome to Rio play listing his productions in both their specialty and peak time shows, while daily demand for remix projects continues to grow from the biggest labels in the industry.

1. Sometimes Things Get, Whatever
2. Complications
3. Slip
4. Some Kind Of Blue
5. Brazil (2nd Edit)
