deadmau5‘s shows ignite the audience with electrifying vibes, from dubstep, to electro house, to neo-trance, and everything in between.  Along with his music are cosmic visual shows, coexisting almost in synchronization with the stellar sounds, as if every visual were tailored accordingly for each song performed.

In addition to the 11 tracks, the album features a collaboration with deadmau5 vs. Wolfgang Gartner entitled “Animal Rights”, described by Beatport as similar to the techno sounds of Daft Punk.

4×4=12‘s single, “Sofi Needs A Ladder”, was first performed at the Ultra Music Festival this past March.  There, deadmau5 took the stage with iconic Tommy Lee performing in front of an audience of over 50,000.  Since then, the song has been used as the opening piece on his current tour.
