3. Raise Your Weapon
This song was released on May 23, 2011 as the fourth single from his fifth studio album 4X4=12. It features vocals from Greta Svabo Bech. Musically, "Raise Your Weapon" is a progressive house song that begins with a piano melody and Bech's vocals and ends with a dubstep beat with the vocals repeated. The song received positive reviews from music critics, with some highlighting it as a standout track from the album. It reached number 100 on the Billboard Hot 100, making it his first song to make an entry on the chart. It also reached number 117 on the UK Singles Chart.

Zimmerman’s weapon of choice? Why it’s Twitter—duh.


2. Ghosts N Stuff
This hit, featuring Rob Swire of Australian electronic rock band Pendulum and Knife Party was released as a single from deadmau5's studio album, For Lack of a Better Name. The opening theme is based on the classic Piano Sonata No. 2 Frederic Chopin.  Iconic? You want to talk iconic? You were already humming the song in your head from the millisecond your brain read the word “ghosts.”
