4 x 4 = 12

VINYL FORMAT. 'Joel [Zimmerman] seems to have developed an amazing skill which allows him to switch back and forth between his own style of minimal and maximal house music. He has perfected the ability to use understated "four on the floor" drum beats and structured build ups, with loud synth melodies and massive launches. He brings this rare skill set, along with abstract new found skills, to 4 x 4 = 12. The anticipation for the new album was extremely high due to his new style, however he has slowly released tracks over the past months and has also leaked the track list. This has caused that anticipation to somewhat decrease, and wrongly so. The electro house star awaits for the release of 4 x 4 = 12, which will inevitably prove his ungodly progression as a music producer. Anyone that has attended a mau5 show this past summer has heard the electrifying live segments of his new material. It's the new devastating electro progressions he continues to find, the uplifting progressive synths he always seems to craft, and lastly the new filthy dubstep he has finally incorporated into this music that has made his third album release the widest range of songs yet. He is electronic dance music's most talked about artist and producer and it will only continue in 2011.' - Electronica Oasis
