ATTLAS creates new music using Microsoft Surface
ON deadmau5′ mau5hax bu5 TOUR
 
NEW SINGLE “ASPEN” OUT NOW ON mau5trap

 
This past March, electronic artist and mau5trap label founder deadmau5 took a handpicked collective of his label artists on the road as part of the mau5hax bu5 tour.  Aboard a bus outfitted with a custom studio which made its way through cities on the East Coast,  emerging electronic artist ATTLAS integrated Microsoft’s Surface into his production process while writing his new single “Aspen.”
The song, which made its debut on deadmau5′ mau5trap presents…Beats 1 show today (April 1), is available now at https://soundcloud.com/mau5trap/attlas-aspen-1 and smarturl.it/m5Aspen.
Known for developing renowned artists such as Feed Me and Madeon, deadmau5 mentored Canadian producer ATTLAS as he worked to produce compelling new tracks for the label while on tour. The two innovative artists combined multi-platform studio production tools with Microsoft’s latest Surface hardware, showcasing how technology can be utilized in inventive and creative ways to make exciting new music.
When discussing the unique recording experience ATTLAS stated, “It was equal measures of surreal, fun and discombobulating!  On a bus, away from your usual comfortable studio setup with others around you examining your process, like deadmau5, was a bit scary but very exciting. However, I was lucky enough to get in the zone, find a groove and nail a production I’m really proud.”  View more here: https://youtu.be/5WgKgk6OuJc .
To celebrate “Aspen,” the first mau5hax bu5 tour release, the label hosted a private listening party and panel session at the Microsoft Venice Lounge in Los Angeles last night. Attended by leading music editors and industry influencers, the invite-only event included an intimate panel discussion ATTLAS further discussed the technology behind the process, as well as offered an exclusive opportunity for guests to listen to special DJ sets and the new track before the release date. Ultimately, the launch party provided attendees with an unforgettable experience and a behind-the-scenes look into how deadmau5 and the mau5trap artists are pushing music production forward using Microsoft technology.
