deadmau5’s 5 years of mau5–out today (November 24) on Ultra Music–encompasses highlights from his beloved back catalog alongside exclusive and new remixes from friends of his label mau5trap. Also being offered today is an exclusive playlist for Spotify with many of the songs featured on 5 years. Stream it now here: http://smarturl.it/discoverdeadmau5.
Last week marked the final reveal of two other works featured on 5 years of mau5 prior to its release: the Michael Woods 2014 remix of “Strobe” and the iTunes exclusive remix of “Raise Your Weapon” by Maywald. Woods, who originally remixed the mau5 classic in 2009, updates his reworking for 5 years, injecting a fresh tone of synths and beats for progressive sets throughout the world, while emerging German producer Maywald lays on an afterhours vibe onto the beloved mau5 vocal classic.
Listen to deadmau5’s “Strobe” (Michael Woods 2014 Remix) now here and “Raise Your Weapon” Maywald remix courtesy of EW.com at: http://music-mix.ew.com/2014/11/21/deadmau5-raise-your-weapon-maywald-remix/
These offerings also join other tracks such as:
- “Ghosts n Stuff (Chuckie Remix): The iconic Dirty Dutch producer turns his hand to remixing what is widely recognized as one of deadmau5’ most influential tracks of his career. Chuckie’s punchy, synth-rich rework provides a welcome, contemporary electrohouse twist while re-layering Rob Swire’s anthemic vocal over a thumping, hard-edged bassline. It serves as a great introduction to Chuckie’s revered ‘Dirty Dutch’ production remit, while simultaneously reminding the world just how crucial a record ‘Ghosts n Stuff’ remains.
- The “Maths (Botnek Remix)” that made its debut on Billboard.
- “I Remember” (Shiba San Remix): Pete Tong premiered the remix on his influential Radio One show and had the blogsphere ablaze commenting on the sultry remix by emerging Dirtybird producer Shiba San.
- “Some Chords (Dillon Francis Remix)” From the opening track of deadmau5’s 2010 album 4×4=12, is a classic mau5 track bathed in synths. Close friend Dillon Francis surprised fans in late August this year by playing his own remix of the song. The deadmau5 “Some Chords” (Dillon Francis remix) made its official debut on Twitter’s new SoundCloud integration player at: https://twitter.com/mau5trap/status/522847939379863553 and to date has garnered over one million plays. Both the original version of the song and Dillon Francis’ remix appear on the retrospective.
- “Raise Your Weapon” with a new offering from Australia’s Wax Motif. U.K.’s Q magazine premiered the track here.
