This brings back the memories of listening to "Not Exactly". THIS is the progressive house deadmau5 we all love! Thank you Joel!

[@kamewoni]

exactly.

[@whamer100]

I really REALLY hope we get more like this, i really missed this kind of music

Random Album Title as a whole album was insane!

[@marcellkovacs5452]

Yep, very “Random Album Title” feel

It's electro house, or prog-lectro.

This shit is why Deadmau5 is my favorite artist. Nothing hits quite like his music.

[@NahueFederico]

This has some strong audiosurf vibes along with Joel's old sound from 12-14 years ago, feels like going back in time.

[@MotorHolmes]

It's very difficult in the EDM space to have something of a signature sound, that doesn't end up sounding like dozens of other artists, but this is very much a signature Joel piece. Impressive.

[@myworld4257]

Avicii had a unique signature sound

[@heartwithreason]

Fun fact: He based the spelling off a Final Fantasy VIII creature referred to as a Guardian Force called Quezacotl. Legend has it that the game devs had to shorten its name from Quetzalcoatl (the actual spelling of the Aztec deity) to Quezacotl due to character limitations of early video games. Just like Joel had to with his name: deadmouse to deadmau5 in online chatrooms, etc.

[@DoubleBGreen]

@@heartwithreason We need a whole album based on FF summons. Ifrit, Shiva, etc. Each song would incorporate its elements I.E. ice, fire, wind, earth.

[@augistineaquinas3325]

now i understand, was wondering why he spelt the name wrong

[@xerodarkgohst]

🚬😗☕️👋

[@theblockyist3918]

Also choose the name since r/deadmau5 did an alphabetical list for the best songs that started with each letter and there was no song for q

[@dnntrzt]

a mexican here i also noticed that issue with the number of characters in the title; for a moment i thought he had misspelled the name of the aztec god but now i understand everything because i'm not a gamer haha

BEST KIND OF DEADMAU TRACKS

[@jamesmobley4312]

I have a 3 year old son who finds comfort listening to Deadmau5. It relaxes him. He has his own noise cancelling headphones and will listen to Deadmau5 for days. My heart is full knowing he loves Joel's music. When I showed him this song; he knows that special sound, and he instantly knew who it was and started dancing. I'm raising a die-hard deadmau5 fan, and give you the most utmost respect for giving my son a level of joy no other toy would come close to. Keep up the amazing work.

[@WenegadeWaiduh]

To really have your own sound in your music, consistently, and without the need for your own voice to be easily identified… Joel has reached the peak of artistry.

[@1Maverick2]

It's amazing that you still produce the same quality. You've never faltered. Never dropped off. Your music sounds like YOU, and that's impossible to take away from an artist. You've got a very unique sound, not that every song is the same, but you can tell when a Deadmau5 song has come on.

[@aliruiz6457]

[@alejandrozarzosa9866]

Si!! Cuando dijo que estuvo esperando mucho tiempo para pronunciarlo y que hizo canciones con cada letra del alfabeto excepto por la Q y decidió hacer una y llamarla Quetzalcóatl.. fue increíble escuchar que mi productor favorito de la vida, haya hecho una canción para nuestro hermoso país, está es una obra de arte, increíble canción, al nivel de Strobe y Jaded

[@djp1234]

I like the 3D visual representation of the track layers.

[@BattleshipSailorBB63]

Not just visual, either. He has a setup capable of Atmos (spatial) stuff, and if you close your eyes with good headphones, the notes travel up and down with the lights. Not sure how he accomplishes this with KZbin compression......the FLAC tracks have to be SO much better.

[@sabresound]

What more could you want from a visual WOW.

[@RussianWaterpoloAssociation]

Nowadays there are many producers who create some nostalgia wannabe 2000 trance sound, but they forget about the main things - melody and arrangement. This is exactly the song where these both elements are at top level
