We all know Deadmau5 digs techno. After posting a 2 hour techno set on his website, and his set at UMF, Miami earlier this year which contained a fair share of techno tracks for a mainstage performance, the mau5 is back to give us a taste of the new direction he’s probably heading towards.

Recorded the set, I'll get it in your hot little hands soon. 😉
