Following the release of “Quezacotl” earlier this month, on July 12 came another fresh production from deadmau5. This turn he’s offering mau5trap something from his alter ego TESTPILOT (the alias of world-renowned electronic musician Joel Zimmerman aka deadmau5), the epic techno production“Wet.”

“While deadmau5 remains a cornerstone in the electronic dance scene, TESTPILOT serves as Zimmerman’s vehicle to explore its darker, more visceral side,” shared Frank151 earlier this year.
“ It’s a testament to his versatility and commitment to pushing boundaries, ensuring that fans old and new have something unique to experience, regardless of the name he chooses to perform under.”
Now, for his first TESTPILOT studio production since 2014, the chameleon-like studio maven takes us on a journey through slippery twists and turns around dark corners of pulsating synths and four-on-the-floor beats.
In 2013, a presence named TESTPILOT arose out of the shadows. Making a debut unlike any other, TESTPILOT stood alongside Richie Hawtin for his first performance, performing back-to-back with the techno pioneer at SXSW. Though considered a newcomer to the genre, something about his ferocious, sleek sound felt familiar and pleasing to even the most critical of techno fanatics.
TESTPILOT’s take on techno has fused the tradition and soul of techno with a razor edge, sharpened by years of comprehensive knowledge and exploration of the music and its tools. His sets are haunting, cosmic, and move at prime velocity, ready for the darkest of warehouses. Now with the arrival of “Wet,” expect the unexpected from TESTPILOT.
Looked for “Wet” as well as the recent deadmau5 single “Quezacotl” to appear on some ep, which was released on July 19.
