deadmau5 has turned his hand to a fresh remix, and the result may surprise even his most seasoned fans. The Canadian producer has reworked 'Fabienk' by Canadian band Angine de Poitrine, delivering a version that has already caught the attention of Billboard Canada and Rolling Stone Canada. Angine de Poitrine supply the emotional heart of the record. Meanwhile, deadmau5 supplies the electronic architecture.
The remix arrives during one of the busiest technical stretches of deadmau5‘s career. Recently, he opened the public beta for AUTO/PILOT, his in-development DJ software built around live improvisation and hardware control. This ‘Fabienk’ rework fits neatly alongside that experimental spirit. It leans on precise melodic layering rather than obvious dancefloor tropes. As a result, the remix reads as an artistic conversation between two very different sound worlds.
Angine de Poitrine operate in the French-Canadian indie space with a strong writerly instinct. In turn, deadmau5 has spent his career shaping progressive house and melodic techno for global stages. The pairing lets ‘Fabienk’ move fluidly between chanson-style intimacy and shimmering electronic movement. Crucially, the mix respects the song’s original character while adding depth and momentum.
The release also lands as deadmau5 continues to expand his creative output beyond the DJ booth. Beyond the AUTO/PILOT rollout, he has spent the year testing new formats, collaborations and label ideas. This ‘Fabienk’ remix is streaming now on all platforms. Notably, both Billboard Canada and Rolling Stone Canada have profiled the release. Notably too, the version signals more crossover work from deadmau5 in the coming months.
