deadmau5 Celebrates 15 Years of "Strobe" With Nostalgic Remix by Layton Giordani: Listen

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" still 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.

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.

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.

The release is also a big moment for Giordani, who said deadmau5 was the first DJ to ever play his music on the mainstage of a major music festival, Ultra 2014.

"Fast forward now and I got to remix my favorite record by him that helped shape me as an artist," he gushed in a recent Instagram post. "Full circle moment and proof that dreams come true."
