Having been something of a ‘free agent’ throughout his action-packed career up to this point, in-demand Canadian producer and live performer Deadmau5 has finally inked a deal with major record label Virgin.

Deadmau5, aka Joel Zimmerman, has released his music on a variety of independent labels, including his own Mau5trap Recordings imprint. His debut LP Random Album Title came out late last year through American dance label Ultra Recordings, and was distributed in the UK via Ministry of Sound.

The Deadmau5 deal with Virgin is far from your usual record deal, however, with reports indicating he’s signed a ‘360 agreement’ that will see the label share in profits from all aspects of his burgeoning career, including live performance/touring, recording, sponsorship, publishing and merchandise.
