Today (January 14), pioneering Canadian electronic music producer deadmau5 has made available his “Spirit Of Gumball” documentary short from the 2014 Gumball 3000 “Miami to Ibiza” Rally. The 16-minute piece, which made its debut on The Verge here, captures a front-seat experience with deadmau5 as he travels in his custom ‘Purrari’ on the drive of a lifetime up the eastern U.S. seaboard from Miami to New York and then across the Atlantic to the U.K. through continental Europe to Ibiza, Spain. The documentary is entirely set to music from his “Best Dance/Electronic Album” GRAMMY-nominated album while(1<2) (mau5trap/Astralwerks).
Much to the excitement of fans, deadmau5 in June will return to the major U.S. festival circuit to headline the Bonnaroo Music and Arts Festival in Manchester, TN and Governor’s Ball in New York City. Next up is a hometown appearance in Toronto at Guvernment on January 25 as part of the famed venue’s closing show #GUVFINALE. It will be a bittersweet moment for the Canadian producer as he bids farewell to the place that launched his musical career.
Meanwhile, producers should continue to be encouraged to submit their productions for the deadmau5 “Some Chords” Dillon Francis Beatport Play remix contest. The Francis remix of deadmau5’s “Some Chords”–which appears on his current retrospective double-album, 5 years of mau5 (Ultra Music)–turned a lot of heads upon its reveal earlier this year when Francis launched it at Mad Decent Block Party. Now burgeoning producers everywhere can take their turn with the track for a chance to win. The grand-prize recipient will see their work made available on Beatport in an exclusive remix release via mau5trap as well as receive an Antelope Audio Interface, assorted Eurorack modular synth modules and some of the latest software. Submissions can be made now through January 26, voting extends from January 27 to February 9 and the winner will be announced on February 24. Log on for more information at: http://btprt.dj/1yAXimj
