For his BBC Radio 1 residency debut, Deadmau5 took another left turn and played an eclectic set filled with techno, downtempo, and experimental electronic musicians.

Artists such as Boards of Canada, Max Cooper, and Jon Hopkins featured prominently in his two-hour set, confirming once again that the producer prefers to surprise and tease his fans.

The set was also low on the producer's own music, with only two Deadmau5 songs included (one of which was a remix). Throughout the set, the producer also offers an abundance of commentary, proving some things about the artist stay the same.
