As the first major virtual artist in the electronic music landscape, discover the dark arts of DEATHPIXIE through her sadistic six-track EP ASYLUM, featuring Skylar Grey, Meryll and deadmau5 himself for his label mau5trap. In support of the new music, DEATHPIXIE made her live debut with an unprecedented, never-before-seen show from a virtual artist as part of th Day of the deadmau5 shows unique to Colorado’s legendary Red Rocks.
ASYLUM’s “LET YOU LIE” featuring Skylar Grey is a journey into DEATHPIXIE’s underworld. For the song, the compelling singer, songwriter and artist–whose credits range from Eminem and Jelly Roll to deadmau5 and Kaskade–compliments DEATHPIXIE’s production with a melodic vocal that haunts.
“When I first heard what DEATHPIXIE was creating, I was instantly drawn to the world she was building – it’s haunting, beautiful, and completely its own universe,” shares Skylar Grey. “‘Let You Lie’ felt like stepping into that underworld and finding something human in all the chaos. Performing it live at Red Rocks with her is going to be otherworldly.”
The EP also features “DIE & LIVE AGAIN”, DEATHPIXIE’s cut with Dutch artist Meryll (who has collaborated with the likes of FISHER, Hardwell and Afrojack). It reflects exactly what DEATHPIXIE is–diabolical in its DNA with beats as menacing as they come and a chilling vocal you can’t get out of your head. Alongside “DIE & LIVE AGAIN” and her previous cover release “RAISE YOUR WEAPON” Requiem (her take on deadmau5’ 2010 classic “Raise Your Weapon”), ASYLUM wields the attention and curiosity of fans of emerging dance music and anime.

DEATHPIXIE is an artist born in the shadows of New Tokyo. Her sound is what plays when a blood-red RX-7 drifts through a neon wasteland of dark electronic music: Created by an emerging group of songwriters, producers and animators there is a human behind every element of DEATHPIXIE. Her music weaves phonk, trap, techno, bass house, and dubstep fused into a cinematic, high-speed descent like a transmission from a broken future: raw, surreal, and charged with underground energy.
