There’s been a lot of talk about how the Foo Fighters seem to be taking it back old-school with their new release, and while it has been a hot minute since they were the center of attention, it now looks like that hype machine is finally moving forward full steam ahead. They played their new album – Wasting Light, which is due April 12th – in its entirety as part of their “opening” gig at Stubb’s BBQ on Tuesday and the world’s most famous garage band has even announced a one-off charity gig to benefit victims of last month’s earthquake in Christchurch, New Zealand.

It appears that the Foos could handle it all themselves but Joel Zimmerman apparently wanted to contribute to the madness. Hypetrak points out that the 30-year-old Canadian party starter better known as Deadmau5 has just remixed the Foo Fighters’ latest single, “Rope”. The regrind keeps frontman Dave Grohl’s vocal mostly intact, but the song’s reimagining is the type of pure club music bliss that begs to be a bonus track on a vintage CD single. The song’s hook becomes the perfect hand waving, sweaty dance floor anthem, and the pulsating beat is an ecstasy trip on tape. The best part is that it’s all streaming below.
