New York, NY (Top40 Charts) During his sold out 'retro5pective: 25 years of deadmau5' shows at the Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles and the Brooklyn Mirage in NYC this past spring, globally renowned electronic music artist deadmau5 dazzled his audiences for the finale with a debut of his new single "Quezacotl," and is continuing to play it in all sets from Bali to Helsinki. Now "Quezacotl" is officially available for streaming via mau5trap.
For his first solo release since "XYZ" in 2022, the extensive instrumental takes the listener on a translucent sonic journey. Beaconing symphonic-like chords act as a call to arms as a barrage of melodic synths take flight, a true return to form with all the makings of a classic deadmau5 track.
Look for "Quezacotl" to appear on some ep, the new three-song deadmau5 EP set for release on July 19.
