deadmau5, one of the world’s most respected electronic music producers of modern times, has released its latest NFT collectible project. Working in collaboration with Smearballs, deadmau5 has announced that the collection, called head5, covers numerous aspects of the digital space, including music, video games, literature, NFTs and more and is available for a limited time on the Polygon blockchain. Deadmau5, or Joel Zimmerman, and Smearballs, or Nick denBoer, have worked together previously, with Smearballs facilitating many of deadmau5’s tour visuals, including dancing bug-eyed farm animals, as well as characters in the music videos “Monophobia,” Pomegranate” and “Drama Free.” According to the announcement, this release is an extension of these worlds and characters, allowing collectors to not only own an NFT but also to benefit from additional token utility and rewards throughout the metaverse. The collection, which features 5,555 generative avatars, was released on Nov. 16, 2021, and was previewed at NFT.NYC, the world’s largest NFT conference. As part of the released, deadmau5 minted his own CryptoNewYorker NFT and cocurated a VIP NFT gallery with Smearballs. “I’ve been collaborating with Joel for over six years on tour visuals and music videos,” said Smearballs, or Nick denBoer, in the press release. “I’ve made many crazy iterations of his iconic mau5 head from dancing farm animals to 26-eyed aliens, but never at this scale. 5555 head5 is a real army of freaks that I hope his fans get a kick out of collecting and wearing in the metaverse.”
