"Some Chords" is a song by Canadian electronic music producer deadmau5. It was released on December 6, 2010 as the first single from his fifth studio album, 4×4=12. The track featured in an episode of "CSI" named "Pool Shark". A remix by Dillon Francis was created exclusively for the 5 Years of deadmau5 remix album (2014). A remix contest by Beatport Play was hosted, in which participants were given the parts to rework Francis' version of the song.[2] The winner of the contest was Andrei Stephen, whose remix is expected to see an official release through mau5trap, and the runner-up as determined by community votes was Approaching Nirvana.[2]
