Deadmau5 - Satellite

Posted on May 6, 2013 in Chill, Downtempo, Minimal

2013 has been an unusually quiet year for Joel Zimmerman, both in terms of new releases as well as his expected brash commentary on the EDM industry. With the exception of two half-assed circa-2011 shows at Ultra Music Festival, his tour dates have been relatively slow as well. Whether you credit this withdrawal to his beat-to-my-own-drum mentality or even his newfound love life, it’s been a noticeable gap in electronic music without Deadmau5 in 2013.

Still, when the mau5 speaks, everyone listens, and his new Soundcloud uploads have won attention from across the blogosphere. His most recent demo, “Satellite”, a piano-orchestral epic meets downtempo trip hop, fused with the vocals of mau5 first lady Kat Von D. While only a first draft, it’s an off the course yet mind-boggingly innovative piece of electronic music. Check out the stream below:
