I’ll have to wholeheartedly disagree… it doesn’t even come close to what dubstep epitomises.
Excellent.

The best song by deadmau5 is one that has absolutely nothing to do with his general style. It’s a song about maintaining hope in the face of extreme uncertainty and it has only around 60,000 views on YouTube.

I knew I had heard a bluegrass version, but I couldn’t remember who, so I went into a youtube rabbit hole, so that’s why.
It was Ralph. The quality studio version isn’t on the youtube though.
Fuck it, more Ralph.
The song sounds kinda the same anyway:
