It is always a good day when you hear some new deadmau5. It is even more special when that track is unreleased and may never see the light of day. Before he opened the doors on his new suckscription — subscription — service, he used to host live Ustream events where he would show how he was making music, interact with fans and sometimes play new material. This track is one of those to emerge from those many late-night Ustream sessions driven by cigarettes and Coca-Cola.
Reminiscent of his new tune "Pets" from his latest studio album while 1<2, deadmau5 creates a soothing, ambient soundscape that reminds us why we love the Canadian producer's music. It is speculated that this track could be an early version of "Pets" or could have become redundant once the time came to finalize the tracklist for the album.
Deadmau5 shared the song on his Twitter, acknowledging the unreleased track and giving his fans the opportunity to listen, via In the Mix. There have been plenty of other unreleased tracks teased by deadmau5 via his Ustream sessions and his subscription service, like "Bleed" and "HR Cephai."
Do not expect that trend to change, as he is back home for the remainder of 2014 and gearing up for a massive Entropy world tour in 2015.

Despite not being on the road, deadmau5 has stayed in the headlines lately. He has a new remix album arriving today, Nov. 24, titled 5 Years of Mau5, to celebrate the anniversary of his imprint Mau5trap. It features remixes from Michael Woods, Chuckie, Botnek, Eric Prydz and others, as well as a collection of some of his classic originals over the past several years.
He has also committed to building a 45,000-square-foot studio for "actual musicians" near his massive Canadian home. We will see what other material comes from the studio and who he considers to be an "actual musician."
Listen to the unnamed, unreleased tune below.
