NEW YORK, NY – October 8, 2015 – Kobalt Label Services (KLS) announced today they have signed a label services agreement with the pioneering electronic artist, deadmau5.

The agreement will cover the artist’s forthcoming album release, due in 2016 via his own label mau5trap with deadmau5 retaining full ownership and control of his rights.

Kobalt also signed a deal with mau5trap to provide digital distribution, synch licensing and other label services for mau5trap releases. In addition to signing with KLS, deadmau5 is also signed to Kobalt Music Publishing under a worldwide agreement.

“deadmau5 is an artist who does things his own way, a truly original voice in music. He’s an electronic music producer, entrepreneur, and innovator extraordinaire;

he’s at the height of his career and all of us at Kobalt are totally committed to supporting him and the work he does with his label,” Richard Sanders, President of Kobalt, commented.

Dean Wilson, President of Three Six Zero Group and deadmau5’s manager, added, “With how big streaming has become, alongside Joel’s desire to interact directly with his fans via his

own live platform, it was important to the entire team that we had clear transparency on all aspects of his music facing business – sales numbers, streams, Youtube, syncs etc – that way we

could all move quickly and make marketing decisions in real time. Kobalt are the perfect partners for both deadmau5 and mau5trap and we’re all very excited for the next chapter.”

of passion for the creation of music, with an individualistic nature that sets him apart from the crowd. Donning his custom mau5heads during stage performances, he has formed his own brand to couple his incredibly unique sound.

A major touring act, he has headlined Lollapalooza, Outside Lands, Budweiser Made In America, Sonar, Virgin Mobile FreeFest, Coachella, Ultra Music Festival, HARD Day of the Dead,

is currently in construction and new music is in the works for 2016. This October he’ll take the stage at Austin City Limits, Treasure Island Music Festival in San Francisco, CA and HARD Day of the Dead in Southern California,
