Emotions recently ran high at the Hollywood Bowl, where deadmau5 played an unreleased track in a heartfelt tribute to the late i_o.
“Gone but definitely not forgotten,” deadmau5 said at the larger-than-life show before dropping his unreleased song, “input_output.” Palpable emotions reverberated through the dancefloor as the song’s rising synths built toward a thumping techno drop.
The song commemorates the beloved i_o, who tragically passed away four years ago at the age of 30. Check out footage of the poignant tribute below.
