Iconic deadmau5 single ‘Ghosts ‘n’ Stuff (featuring Rob Swire)’ has received a fresh remix treatment from Bay Area-born electronic DJ and producer Jauz. The original 2008 release is a staple across dance music culture and with the new remix, signifies a new era for dance music. Over the last fourteen years, only two other artists have been tapped for an official remix of the song- NERO’s remix was featured in its 2009 single package and Chuckie followed shortly after in 2014 on the 5 Years of mau5 compilation album. The baton has now been passed to Jauz and his work certainly does not disappoint. ‘Ghosts ‘n’ Stuff (Jauz Remix)’ is out on November 3 via label imprint mau5trap.
For a remix of epic proportions, Jauz kept many of the original elements of the song from Rob Swire’s soaring vocals to deadmau5’s easy-to-recognize heralding synths- but with his own twist.
See what he has to say about the single:
Making a remix for a song as revered and respected as ‘Ghosts n’ Stuff’ is honestly almost an impossible task. It was intimidating and humbling, to say the least. But it was also a great exercise to remind myself how to stop putting pressure and expectation on myself, and just make whatever comes out naturally. I made eight different versions of this remix and this is the only one that really felt like ‘me.’ Thanks to Joel and the team for letting me remix one of the greatest electronic records of all time. It was an honor and such a cool experience
