MAU5LTD001 – Deadmau5 “Ghosts N Stuff” Mau5trap – ELECTRO HOUSE
This is a very special DIGITAL ONLY release from the mighty Deadmau5. A bit of a treat, fresh out of the lab just in time for Halloween.

Here’s the story:
Basically, Pete Tong asked Deadmau5 to write a track while on his Beatport sponsored tour and “Ghosts N Stuff” is the result! It's been on Pete's show two weeks running, Deadmau5 opened with it at the essential mix live @ The Warehouse Project Manchester and Calvin Harris used it in his forthcoming Essential Mix which airs this week. The track is being tied in with a huge gig deadmau5 has in LA for Halloween for which he is also making a special Halloween head and this track is going to be the 'theme'. Feedback for the track has been huge and the fact that only Pete Tong has it has made the buzz even greater. Other marketing AnD Press are doing is alongside Alex Greenberg @ MSO PR & Hard Events and AnD Press are also doing E-Shots to the deadmau5 database, Ibiza Voice database and running banner ads.

Following the amazing success of their debut track 'After Dark' that received global support from Sasha, Digweed, Cattaneo, Groove Armada, Ramirez and Lawler amongst others, M.O.D.E return with the infectious track 'LOST' on their M.O.D.E. imprint. The original is a bumpy techy chugger that rolls along with a driving bass line incorporating catchy bleeps, glitches and riffs. The clever breakdown builds to launch the second half of the track in great fashion, and the track has already been tested on floors around the world to huge response. And so onto the remixes and first up is Deadmau5 favourite Adam Shaw. Fresh from his recent EP on Mau5trap, Adam turns in a funky techno edged workout that glides along effortlessly. A pulsing bass line and tight percussion rip through the mix, whilst Adam retains the feel for the original with clever use of the core elements. This is set to be huge. Next up comes Berlin based Pelle Buys with a dark trippy minimal workout for those crazy 7am moments. Pelle has had recent success with releases on John Digweed's Transitions series, and this nod to the twisted side of house isn't for the faint hearted. A bubbling groove never lets up all the way though the track, and eerie noises and effects keep this one in the realms of super deep house. Last but by no means least, is the Dimitri Vegas and Like Mike Remix. This superb piece of uber cool electro shows why these two new producers are being tipped by the industry as ones to watch. A chunky bass line and superb synths power along with no let up, and this is sure to be a favorite in many sets for weeks to come.

The HEJ Pioneers deliver the second installment of a digital only series, featuring four tracks from label owners PUNISHER (Michelle Herrmann) and JOHN OVERFIEND. PUNISHER begins with "Undertow", a track that is constantly in motion. Acid sounds shift and pivot through the shuffled beats that are washed over by droning voice samples and fluttering pitched bongos. Michelle's "Dimb" is stripped down with minimal tribal clicks and claps that merge into a simple yet lush infectious melody. The steaming hiss and ambient keys build in the breakdowns before the sassy bass drops. JOHN OVERFIEND takes you on a journey with "Man From Space" infused with haunting effected vocals stretched and delayed in every direction. Swanky analog blips and pumping synth bass is unleashed as the track builds into a frenzy of movement. John's next gem, "Call That One Blue" has a unique feel with layered otherworldly synth tones and twisted funky bass. The chopped up staggered primal vocal snippets, and driving swirled percussion drop hard after the intense breaks, highlighted with a tripped out intro and outro perfect for mixing. With mastering by Tim Xavier, the sound quality speaks for itself. Hej receives regular support from Adam Beyer, Joel Mull, Par Grindvik, Adultnapper, Deetron, Camea, Laurent Garnier, Alexi Delano, Tim Xavier and other world class DJ's .
