Superstar producer and live act Deadmau5 will release his next album in early December, entitled 4X4=12.

It's been barely a year since Deadmau5's last full-length, For Lack of a Better Name, and during that time the Canadian artist has continued his meteoric rise. In addition to churning out a half-dozen 12-inches since the beginning of 2010, he's become a fixture of festivals and big room clubs, thanks in no small part to his eye-popping live show, which The Guardian has grouped in with the likes of Daft Punk and Kraftwerk. It was his rigorous touring schedule that led to to one of the few low points in his career: a mid-concert collapse and the subsequent cancellation of nine tour dates.

4X4=12 boats 11 tracks by Deadmau5, several of which will be familiar to anyone who's followed him over the past year. "Some Chords," "I Said," "Sofi Needs a Ladder" and the Wolfgang Gartner collaboration "Animal Rights" have all been previously released on Mau5trap Recordings, while others like "Cthulu Sleeps" and "Raise Your Weapons" have been staples of his live act. Deadmau5 will support the album with a winter tour around the UK, which includes four dates with dubstep collective Magnetic Man.
