Last week marked the final reveal of two other works featured on 5 years of mau5 prior to its release: the Michael Woods 2014 remix of "Strobe" and the iTunes exclusive remix of "Raise Your Weapon" by Maywald. Woods, who originally remixed the mau5 classic in 2009, updates his reworking for 5 years, injecting a fresh tone of synths and beats for progressive sets throughout the world, while emerging German producer Maywald lays on an afterhours vibe onto the beloved mau5 vocal classic.

These offerings also join other tracks such as:
"Ghosts n Stuff (Chuckie Remix): The iconic Dirty Dutch producer turns his hand to remixing what is widely recognized as one of deadmau5' most influential tracks of his career. Chuckie's punchy, synth-rich rework provides a welcome, contemporary electrohouse twist while re-layering Rob Swire's anthemic vocal over a thumping, hard-edged bassline. It serves as a great introduction to Chuckie's revered 'Dirty Dutch' production remit, while simultaneously reminding the world just how crucial a record 'Ghosts n Stuff' remains.
The "Maths (Botnek Remix)" that made its debut on Billboard.
"
I Remember" (Shiba San Remix): Pete Tong premiered the remix on his influential
Radio One show and had the blogsphere ablaze commenting on the sultry remix by emerging Dirtybird producer Shiba San.
"Some Chords (Dillon Francis Remix)" Fromthe opening track of deadmau5's 2010 album 4×4=12, is a classic mau5 track bathed in synths. Close friend
Dillon Francis surprised fans in late August this year by playing his own remix of the song. The deadmau5 "Some Chords" (Dillon Francis remix) made its official debut on Twitter's new SoundCloud integration player at: https://twitter.com/mau5trap/status/522847939379863553 and to date has garnered over one million plays. Both the original version of the song and Dillon Francis' remix appear on the retrospective.
