Deadmau5 led off 4×4=12, his fifth album, with "Some Chords" in 2010, and the title is honest advertising: it's an instrumental, a slab of electro house that Joel Zimmerman composed, arranged and produced, playing the keyboards too.
It got around, turning up in the CSI: Crime Scene Investigation episode "Pool Shark" and on the console edition of The Sims 3. It reached No. 13 on America's Dance/Electronic Digital Song Sales chart, and in 2014 Dillon Francis remixed it for the compilation 5 Years of Mau5, a version that climbed to No. 50 on the Dance/Electronic Songs chart.
