Now that deadmau5's influential single “Jaded” is old enough to graduate high school, a gift in the form of a four-track remix EP is in order.
In 2007, deadmau5, then a budding superstar on the electronic music scene, released “Jaded,” a song that would become a fan favorite in his endless library of hits. Despite the song's popularity, die-hard fans relied on downloads and old copies as it was not available on most streaming services.
Now, deadmau5 is celebrating 17 years of “Jaded” with an official re-release and remix package. With nearly two decades of experience under his belt since the release of the original, “Re_Jaded” is a 12-minute tribute to the evolution of deadmau5's timeless sound, showcasing the brilliant songwriting and masterful production skills that inspired a generation.
Blending beautifully with the soulful melodies of the minimalist classic, deadmau5 also produced a dreamy ambient reworking of “Jaded.”
The last song on the EP is a remix of mau5trap's favorite Volaris. Humbly acknowledging that he had big shoes to fill, producer iusing said that “Jaded” inspired many of his listening habits and he made many versions of its remix to ensure the final product did it justice.
“'Jaded' was one of the first songs that really got me into progressive house,” Volaris said in a press release. “It's such an infectious song that when they asked me to remix it, I was nervous wondering what to do to an already huge and iconic record. I've done so many versions of this remix because I really wanted to do it justice. Ultimately, this “It's not here to compete with the original, as nothing ever will, but I hope you like my version of this iconic tune.”
