24-hour YouTube music stream is first on the agenda following deadmau5’ mau5trap label sale

A new 24/7 live music stream has been launched by the mau5trap label, playing a constant mix of electronic music via the official deadmau5 YouTube channel.

The stream is aptly named as ‘Airplane Mode’, and provides background music for relaxing or working. All music has been selected by the mau5trap team – deadmau5’ own independent music label – with 100 tracks having been curated, which are also available in a Spotify playlist for streaming.

Airplane Mode is described by mau5trap as a “sonic journey through the sounds of progressive house, melodic techno, and electronic music for deep focus”. A description beneath the video reads, “Whether you’re tuning in to tune out, or looking for the perfect background music to elevate your space, this 24/7 radio stream is your passport to deep vibes and low-altitude cruising. No turbulence, just pure vibes.”

Deadmau5 sold his catalogue to Create Music Group for $55 million back in March, marking the start of a new working partnership. The deal also included the rights to the mau5trap Records catalogue, which is home to over 4,000 songs.

It was revealed that the partnership would focus on the expansion of the mau5trap legacy, with plans put in motion for CMG and deadmau5 (Joel Zimmerman) to work together on remastering and re-releasing key deadmau5 records, as well as launching new content across a range of platforms – hence the introduction of Airplane Mode.

In a more recent interview with Billboard Canada, Zimmerman reflected on the sale and affirmed that nothing would be changing in regards to how he works and puts out music: “I mean, I’m sure they’ll make all their money back and more, but for me it was just time to reel everything back in, throw some money back into production for the next couple of years, and then start over. So, nothing changes. I’m still writing new music and doing everything I do,” he said.
