Since a recent public breakup with celebrity tattoo artist, Kat Von D, Deadmau5 has immediately returned to the studio, crafting music to speak his mind. We knew Deadmau5 has been working on a collaboration with Armin Van Buuren after they were both seen tweeting about it a few weeks ago, and it now seems to be in its near-final stages.
The current rendition of the project has been uploaded to Joel’s personal Soundcloud for fans and it seems like this track is an older more, trance inspired side of Deadmau5. Additionally, we get a taste of some “speakstep” which the mau5 has been working on, featuring a mechanized voice and another track of what seems like just a random melody. Always fun to take a peak inside Joel’s studio and get a sense of what is coming next – listen to his work with AvB below, and the other tracks after the break.

Skrillex is back with a video to “Breakin’ a Sweat,” his famous collaboration with The Doors that was released earlier this year. The video starts out following two mutants jetskiing around a deathly body of water, being chased by robotic sharks. Bizarre antics remaining consistent, after feasting on some floating eggs, the mutants are transported to the real world with the woman impregnated. After stealing a car and fleeing, the woman finds her self giving birth – or something like that. Checkout the video, but take caution — it is as weird as it seems.

Today’s Good Morning Mix is last week’s episode of Arty‘s radio show on SiriusXM, Together We Are. Arty starts things off with the Shogun Remix of “Must Be The Love,” and continues to bounce back and forth between a wide spectrum of genres. He effortly switches from Skrillex & Nero’s remix of “Holdin On” by MONSTA, to Seven Lions, and Joris Voorn’s “Goodbye Fly.” It’s clear that Arty believes there should be no barriers between genres and as always delivers a flawless mix. Arty will also be performing this Thursday night at LAVO NYC – Purchase tickets here.
The Canadian duo known as Project 46 continues to make a name for themselves after releasing “You & I” with Dubvision in September. “Feel the Fire” is an emotional track with soulful lyrics that blend into the beat, creating uplifting progressive house. The entire song has a pop feel to it as the lyrics drive the song forward, but would fit well with many progressive artists. “Feel the Fire” is now available on Beatport from Zouk Recordings.

Just two days ago Above & Beyond announced that their Trance Around the World radio show would be ending with its 450th episode in Bangalore, India.
