Mau5ville: Level 1s release date was first revealed through various store pages on July 3, 2018. The cover art was also uploaded to Deadmau5's
Twitter account. However, the EP was officially announced on July 12, 2018, the day before its final release on July 13, 2018, which is, coincidentally, Zimmerman's name day. The
Beatport exclusive version of the EP was released with two additional bonus mixes of "Monophobia". The EP is named after Deadmau5's
multiplayer server for the sandbox video game
Minecraft. The opening track, "
Monophobia", serves as the return of long-time collaborator
Rob Swire from
Pendulum and
Knife Party, who had previously collaborated with Deadmau5 on his song "
Ghosts 'n' Stuff" in 2009. The song was also remixed by other artists who have released on the record label
Mau5trap, including producers
Attlas,
Latroit, and Rinzen. A music video for "Monophobia" was released on Deadmau5's YouTube channel on July 16, 2018. ==Track listing==
