Deadmau5 had been picking at "Ghosts 'n' Stuff" since 2004, and by Joel Zimmerman's own count it went through at least 10 revisions. The finished track was built for his guest spot on Pete Tong's Essential Selection on BBC Radio 1 on October 10, 2008, and he first unleashed it on a live crowd at HARD Haunted Mansion in Los Angeles. The instrumental came out as a single late that year.
Then Rob Swire got involved. The Pendulum frontman kept running into Zimmerman backstage at festivals until the two decided to work together, and he wrote and sang a vocal whose melody takes its cue from Chris Isaak's "Wicked Game". That electro house version was reissued on September 27, 2009, and landed on For Lack of a Better Name, the fourth Deadmau5 album.
