Well now it’s been a while since we have heard the blips and burps of Deadmau5 but the dead one has returned with a possible glimpse of the future with “Some Chords”. There is definitely more of an electro feel to “Some Chords” and it has an edge reminiscent of Deadmau’s earlier albums like “At Play” or even “Vexillology”. I really like it and if you haven’t heard this one banging at a club near you, you will soon. Take a listen!
Early in 2009 I heard the dub of the Deadmau5 (aka Joel Zimmerman) track “Ghosts n Stuff”, it was like a lot of the music off his early ’09 release “It Sounds Like”… Just OK (One notable exception being “Faxing Berlin”). It was a bit disappointing as he was just coming off a huge collaboration with Kaskade on the track “Move for Me” (Another Best of 2009 Track for sure) and I was looking for more from the Mau. Flash forward to September and boy what a difference a few months can make. For the first single off “For Lack of a Better Name” (a compilation album) the Mau collaborates with Pendulum’s Rob Swire and adds the missing vocals to “Ghosts n Stuff”. Whoa! Play this track in a club and the crowd goes nuts, sing – a-long city! “Ghosts n Stuff” is definitely one of the best dance tracks of 2009.
