For his version he retains the songs’ famed chords and builds a swirl of pulsating synths and beats giving the work new depth. “‘Strobe’ is undoubtedly one my favorite dance records of all time and it was one of the first that got me into electronic music,” shares Layton Giordani. “It’s tough to put into words just how amazing it is to be able to remix this track but I will say this, deadmau5 was the first big artist to play my techno records when I was coming up so to have the honor of putting my own spin on this one is really special. I know the younger version of myself would be proud.” A timeless classic, “Strobe”--heralded by Mixmag as “...arguably one of the most recognizable and readily celebrated compositions in electronic music”-- originally appeared on deadmau5’ fourth studio album, 2009’s for lack of a better name. Comprised of some of his biggest hits, the album hit RIAA Gold certifications in Canada and the United Kingdom reaching #1 on the U.K. Dance Albums charts upon its initial release.
