4ware (pronounced "four ware")[1] is an instrumental by Canadian electronic music producer Deadmau5.[2][3] It is the first track on his eighth studio album, W:/2016Album/.[4] It was premiered on BBC Radio 1 in an interview with British DJ Pete Tong on November 4, 2016.[5][6] Despite initial rumours, the song was never officially released as a single. Following the release of W:/2016Album/, "4ware" charted in the US, peaking at 22 on the Billboard Dance/Electronic Digital Songs chart.[7]
Background
[edit | edit source]An early version of "4ware" was uploaded to Zimmerman's SoundCloud in March 2016.[6] However, it has since been removed following his account's compromisation in May 2016.[8][9]
On November 4, 2016, Zimmerman joined Pete Tong's Essential New Tune show on BBC Radio 1 for a brief interview regarding the release of W:/2016Album/.[5] After the interview, Tong described 4ware fondly, claiming "[it] takes me right back to "Faxing Berlin"-style Deadmau5".[1][6] After this, rumours were spread that "4ware" was to be released as a single.[10][11] However, the song has seen no single release since, and "Let Go" was later released, on November 18, as the album's following single.[12][13]
