some ep
some ep features ‘Quezacotl‘ with its beaconing symphonic-like chords. They act as a call to arms as a barrage of melodic synths take flight. The track is a true beacon of return to form with all the makings of a classic deadmau5 track. Moreover, The song made its debut as part of the set of his sold out “retro5pective: 25 years of deadmau5” shows. They took place at the Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles and the Brooklyn Mirage in NYC this past spring.
There’s also the epic Techno production ‘Wet‘ from his alter ego TESTPILOT (the alias of Joel Zimmerman aka deadmau5). For his first TESTPILOT studio production since 2014, the chameleon-like studio maven takes us on a journey through slippery twists. The journey continues with turns around dark corners of pulsating synths and four-on-the-floor beats. Other tracks on the EP include big serve productions ‘Sever‘ and ‘Input Output,’. The latter was also debuted at his Brooklyn Mirage ‘retro5pective’ show.
