Turning back the clock to 2009, deadmau5 is reminding us that true classics don’t gather dust—they mutate, evolve, and refuse to be forgotten. 15 orbits around the sun, and “Strobe” is still filling both hearts and dancefloors all over the world. Now, deadmau5’s generational dance anthem has been revived and reworked into an official remix by Layton Giordani.
Reviving a Classic: The Evolution of “Strobe”
A paradoxical beast of nostalgia and futurism, Giordani’s remix is far more than just a nod to electronic music history. The red-hot producer has coaxed “Strobe” into the raw, unforgiving light of 2039’s techno bunkers, harnessing its ageless melody and channeling it through an unrelenting rhythm. Listen below along with the original track, which has been re-released today in celebration of its 15-year anniversary.
The New Remix: A Blend of Past and Present
Out now via mau5trap, the new remix demonstrates how timeless compositions can be reinterpreted to resonate with today’s dancefloors. It artfully pays homage to the enduring impact of “Strobe” while showcasing the evolution of dance music since its release, particularly with a focus on today’s boom cycle of melodic techno.
This release marks a significant moment for Giordani, who expressed gratitude towards deadmau5 for being the first DJ to play his music at Ultra 2014. Reflecting on the opportunity to remix his favorite record by deadmau5, Giordani shared his excitement in a recent Instagram post, calling it a “full circle moment” and proof that dreams do come true.
