Flashback to 2009, deadmau5 reminds us that true classics don't gather dust: they mutate, evolve, and refuse to be forgotten.
Fifteen orbits around the sun and “Strobe” continues to fill hearts and dance floors around the world. Now, deadmau5’s generational dance anthem has been revived and reworked into an official remix by Layton Giordani.
A paradoxical beast of nostalgia and futurism, Giordani’s remix is much more than just a nod to electronic music history. The red-hot producer has brought “Strobe” into the raw, unforgiving light of the techno bunkers of 2039, harnessing its timeless melody and channelling it through a relentless beat. Listen below alongside the original track, which has been re-released today to celebrate its 15th anniversary.
Out now via mau5trap, the new remix demonstrates how timeless compositions can be reinterpreted to resonate on today’s dancefloors. It cleverly pays homage to the lasting impact of “Strobe” while also showcasing the evolution of dance music since its release, particularly with a focus on the current boom cycle of melodic techno.
The release is also a big moment for Giordani, who said deadmau5 was the first DJ to play his music on the main stage of a major music festival, Ultra 2014.
“Now fast forward, I got to remix my favorite record of his, which helped shape me as an artist,” she gushed in a recent Instagram post. mail“Closing the circle moment and proof that dreams do come true.”
