We here at Control+Alt+Delight generally have no interest in the personal drama or affairs of the artists we follow, however; in this case, Joel’s breakup with Kat Von D has led to some incredible new music. The man is pumping out new tunes faster than a tune-pumping machine.. and not just willy-nilly half-assed previews like we’re used to, but full-length quality tracks.
The highly anticipated album was originally intended to release on September 24th, but Deadmau5‘s 6th LP entitled ‘Album Title Goes Here’ has leaked. With tons of familiar tracks and a handful of unreleased ones, this album will undoubtedly match the critical acclaim of his older work. Ladies and gentlemen, Joel Zimmerman has done it again.

Together those words don’t make much sense, but it’s Deadmau5, so fuck it. Right? The guy is on one of the biggest single DJ tours in the history of the scene, selling out back to back to back consecutive shows with one of the highest production live sets ever built. Despite constantly being on the road, which I hear makes it nearly impossible to focus on music production, he still manages to make music that stays true to his roots. The song encompasses pretty much his entire career. I love it! If you were lucky enough to see him live, and didn’t get kicked out before he even went on for being a ruhTARD like me, then this may be a familiar tune. Long live mau5!

Got a bunch of tracks I wanna share with yall, across genres as we like to do over here. Strap in, these’ll take you on a moodcoaster.
First up is Asher Roth‘s Ampersand, a laid back tune that Mr. Roth dropped to go with the rainy weather that’s currently taking over the East Coast. He does it dirty with his usual alliteration over a mellow beat. Always love the random track releases from Asher, look out for his album soon.

Next is another Pretty Lights mashup, this time with Led Zeppelin. I really don’t see myself ever not enjoying a Pretty Lights song. Here he mixes his head bangin’ beats with a gritty electric guitar. Anyone know what Led Zeppelin song this is mixed with?
Pretty Lights vs. Led Zeppelin
Mau5trap spoiled us the last couple days, with the official release of Deadmau5’s “Where Are My Keys” and a new distorted, thumping electro banger from Feed Me. This track isn’t as glitchy as what we’ve heard from Feed Me before, more tolerant to the listener who can’t handle the usual grime. Very melodic and he’s still got the crispest hard electro sound I’ve heard from any artist.
Epic released another track yesterday off his upcoming EP, Third Shift. This one features Jhene Aiko, and has more of an R&B vibe than his other stuff. I love focused songwriting and this definitely demonstrates that. The concept behind his mixtape is very interesting – more on that soon when the tape is released.

Finally, we have a new track from Mac Miller, who may be the most popular artist in hip-hop right now. This is a short 2 minute jam produced by Clams Casino, but it bangs. Definitely a heavier beat than Mac usually works with, but he goes in as he usually does. This one won’t be featured on Blue Slide Park.

It’s been awhile since I’ve had anything to say about Deadmau5, so I’m pretty pumped with this EP he released a couple weeks back. Not exactly sure how it slipped by my friends and me, but it’s now safely lodged in my library with two killer remixes. I was never really into the mau5’s second full length Lack of a Better Name. ‘Strobe’ and the like just didn’t do it for me. ‘The Reward is Cheese’ and ‘Ghosts n Stuff’ were more along the lines of the mau5 I wanted. Harder. Faster. Random Album Title was and still is one of the best progressive house albums of all time IMO, and “Fifths” seems to fit right in with that creative mindset. I was doing some research and it looks like this track has been out for a few years? Regardless, the remixes are delightful treats and Matt Zotti’s is clearly the superior. Can’t fucking wait to see Deadmau5 again at Outside Lands this year!

Germany is taking over, the electronic scene that is. Peter Spencer and Josh Hill produced shit for Cascada but that’s irrelevant. Last week they dropped the iron curtain, revealing their newest banger, “Sunbeam”. Think Deadmau5’s “Some Chords” speeding through a hospital zone, getting chased by ninjas, who are on fire… guten tag Spencer & Hill.
