Joel Zimmerman has never been one for convention. Already associated with technical Electro House cuts and mouse heads of assorted technological advances, his Pete Tong premiered new single opens yet more creative boundaries under the illustrious Deadmau5 moniker. Stumbling upon up and coming vocal talent Chris James on Twitter, ‘The Veldt’ pits his divine top line against a host of deeply melodic progressions and ambient leads. Based upon American fantasy writer Ray Bradbury’s ‘The Veldt’, imagination truly surpasses fashion for this emotively tuned journey of blissful Electronic manoeuvres. Those who thought they had Deadmau5 figured out are sure to be pleasantly surprised by this collection of beautiful and intimate digressions from a force still to be reckoned with in global Dance music.
The radio edit of ‘The Veldt’ is released on May 6th, while the two track EP also featuring ‘Failbait’ will be out on June 25th via his own Mau5trap Recordings.

Cameron says:
Such a wonderful track. Gives me a feeling like no other track. I know its all about the music, but music is inspired by something, and ”The Veldt”, also a short story from The Illustrated Man, seems to be the inspiration of this wonderful track. Thanks deadmau5! You’re awesome! enjoy! http://www.veddma.com/veddma/Veldt.htm

Ahh , deadmau5 is back … I feel comfortable calling him the king of progressive house again… (as long as we pretend 4×4=12 didn’t happen)
evigheten says:
wow, takes me back to I Remember, except this is soo much better
Kaygee says:
Wow, what a hit track, seems to me that mau5 is coming with something big and new, his composing is uniq and has melodies of orchestra there and there, well, keep that up bro, because orchestra is the evolution and the origins of all genres of music.
Matt says:
finally. i’ve missed this deadmau5. Let’s just hope the Skrillex/Deadmau5 crowd don’t complain too much and let him keep making good old stuff like this.
