Deadmau5 – Ghosts N Stuff feat. Rob Swire

• 14th Oct 2009

For a man who wears a mouse-hat to presumably disguise an either shy or hideous face, Deadmau5 makes rather abrasive and handsome music.

“Ghosts n Stuff” confirms this theory with a magnificent appearance from Pendulum front man Rob Swire, with a significant amount of epic synthesisers and a bombardment of thuggish drums, Swire’s voice fits jigsaw like and with the archetypal euphoric line of most acid-house anthems, you can almost imagine Mr Swire singing into the mouse-head of Deadmau5:

{“We’re, we’re gonna get there tonight!” sang Mr Swire, with deep sentiment into the large eyes of DeadMau5, totally in love with both him and dance music.
“Yes, i know!” snivelled the mouses mouth, desperate for cheese and beats, holes and fluorescence” }

Or so the legend goes…

Tightly knitted and patterned with a keyboard motif akin to that of early Faithless, the track invites sleepless nights and wired days. “Ghosts n Stuff” with its monstrous chorus, its undeniable vastness and it guest appearance is more of a more of a mansion than a house and more of a man than a mouse.
