deadmau5 trolls Moby over ‘Go’ lyrics in latest social media moment
Few artists in electronic music embrace internet trolling quite like deadmau5, and his latest moment involves none other than legendary producer Moby.
In a screenshot shared across social media, deadmau5 appears to send Moby a message asking: “You got the lyrics for ‘Go’ handy?” — a tongue-in-cheek reference to the iconic 1991 rave classic.
The joke quickly spread online, with fans pointing out the irony. Moby’s ‘Go’ remains one of the most influential early rave records, built around a sample from Twin Peaks and widely considered a defining anthem of early electronic dance music culture.
deadmau5 later reinforced that sentiment in an Instagram comment, explaining that Moby is “a legend” and that ‘Go’ came from the peak rave era before electronic music became heavily commercialized.
The moment also reminded fans of another recent viral comment involving the Canadian producer. During Ultra Music Festival 2026, deadmau5 stirred debate after commenting on SVDDEN DEATH’s VOYD set, joking that it was “a terrible day to have ears.”
While the remark sparked online arguments, SVDDEN DEATH responded with humor and respect, calling deadmau5 one of the artists who inspired his career.
Whether praising rave history or trolling the internet, deadmau5 continues to prove that a single comment can still send the electronic music world into discussion mode.
