Deadmau5: 'Strobe'

Deadmau5’s brand of spiralling, pulsing electronic may not be as innovative as the cartoon persona and viral marketing campaign that contributed to his rise to near ubiquity in 2009, but it is energetic and clear sighted in a way that pop frequently fails to be.

'Strobe' is built out of a throbbing musical line that splinters gradually into pieces of almost fractal complexity before apparently turning back on itself and regenerating into something exhilarating. Summoning power that will have bodies racked into energetic tension in every club that plays it, 'Strobe' is a delightfully complex work of dance music.
