Submit your original production to mau5trap’s ‘We Are Friends’ compilation, get featured on Dancing Astronaut

Last year mau5trap introduced the ‘We Are Friends’ compilation, a collection of tracks from friends of the label that was well-received by fans and the industry alike.  This time mau5trap is opening it up, allowing one lucky producer to have their track featured on the compilation alongside some of the biggest names in dance music. Starting today, aspiring producers are urged to submit their original productions via Soundcloud to mau5trap for thorough investigation.

The competition closes on February 15th and on February 22nd the top 10 finalists will be selected by mau5trap based on production quality, label suitability and potential artist development. On March 11th, deadmau5 himself will announce the grand prize winner who will go on to have their production featured on the mau5trap compilation, receive full social media support from mau5trap, and then sit down for an interview with Dancing Astronaut.

Full details after the break.

Mau5trap Records – We Are Friends [EP] (Preview)

One thing you can certainly say about Deadmau5 is that he is a man who sticks to his guns and refuses to compromise. Luckily for us, that attitude has seemed to have translated over into his Mau5trap Label, as he certainly has not compromised on the quality of artists he has signed to it. ”We Are Friends,” an upcoming EP from Mau5trap Records, showcases an incredibly diverse range of new talents and styles. Featuring artists from Tom Staar, to Buddygirl, to Heat Maxwell, “We Are Friends” spans the genres from Deadmau5-esque electro house to melodic progressive, to dubstep and glitchy productions that hit much harder. This EP is a must listen if you want a glimpse at some rising stars of electronic music. Check out the preview after the break and then head over to Beatport to grab the full EP on July 30th.
