mau5trap Seeking Producer Submissions for Next "We Are Friends" Compilation

mau5trap is accepting producer submissions for We Are Friends, Vol. 12, marking the return of the label's flagship compilation series, Billboard Dance reports.

Scheduled for release in January 2026, the compilation will be the series' first volume since 2023 and the first since Create Music Group acquired the label's catalog earlier this year.

Founded by deadmau5 in 2007, mau5trap has consistently served as a launchpad for boundary-pushing electronic artists. The We Are Friends compilations, the first of which released in 2012, have played a central role in that mission, spotlighting an eclectic mix of talent across genres like progressive house, techno and electro.

With a track record of championing both rising talent and established innovators, We Are Friends remains one of the most influential compilations in electronic music. The series has historically helped boost the careers of now-prominent names including REZZ, Kasablanca and the late i_o, along with recurring contributions from deadmau5 himself.

For producers looking to break into the scene or align with an iconic record label, the window is officially open. Artists can submit their work for consideration here.
