REZZMAU5 Reimagine 2012 deadmau5 Classic in Monstrous Collaboration, “Infraliminal”

by Michael Ryan · Published October 13, 2023

Rezz and deadmau5 are haunting fans on this extra-scary October Friday the 13th with their second original collaboration.

Since the song was revealed back in June, fans have been eagerly awaiting the return of REZZMAU5 after their live debut at Veld Music Festival, where they dropped an early version to fans who have since clamored for its release. Now, the Canadian duo have delivered "Infraliminal," the follow-up to 2021's "Hypnocurrency."

The song breathes new life into "Superliminal," which dropped back in 2012 on deadmau5's sixth studio album, > album title goes here <. When running that track back, it's clear why it influenced a then-up-and-coming Rezz, who said it's "one of the songs which made [her] inspired to create music."

deadmau5's original introduction is kept largely intact before an enormous midtempo beat erupts from within. After dangling a moment of clarity, the duo shift gears in stunning fashion. Fans of Rezz's harder music will feel right at home in the latter half of "Infraliminal," which dials up the bass to monstrous levels as it stomps into a dramatic conclusion.

The REZZMAU5 fun doesn't end with their new collaboration. The duo will reunite onstage for their American debut at Philly's HiJinx Festival in December. Before that, the return of "Day of the deadmau5" will find the dance music legend celebrating with eight Halloween-themed shows, including a pair at Colorado's iconic Red Rocks Amphitheatre.

"Infraliminal" is out now on mau5trap. You can stream the new track here.
