> album title goes here < is the sixth studio album by Canadian house producer deadmau5 (his fourth mainstream album). It was released on September 21, 2012 by Ultra Records.

Background

Recorded between 2007 and 2012, the album was primarily produced by deadmau5 whilst featuring guest appearances from Wolfgang Gartner, Gerard Way of American rock band My Chemical Romance, American hip hop group Cypress Hill, English recording artist Imogen Heap, and singer Chris James. According to deadmau5, the album is partially a compilation of songs that were previously recorded and not released as singles. Musically, while > album title goes here < primarily uses influences of progressive house and electro house, it also incorporates genres such as downtempo, triphop, IDM, ambient and hip hop.

Singles

The album has spawned five singles to date: "Maths", "The Veldt", "Professional Griefers", "Channel 42", and "Telemiscommunications". A music video directed by Paul Boyd was released for the latter, which featured both deadmau5 and Way, and was promoted by Ultimate Fighting Championship. A fully animated music video by Qudos Animations was released on June 25, 2012. In a live stream on Ustream, deadmau5 confirmed the track "Sleepless" on the album was supposed to contain the vocals he had recorded, but he claimed to have accidentally submitted the wrong file without the vocals. This mistake got the vocal-less version placed on the final copy of the album.[3] He will be releasing the real final version of the song for free soon.[citation needed]
