Background

On a Twitch livestream in 2018, Joel Zimmerman revealed that the instrumental originated from a Deadmau5 remix of "Paco Di Bango's World" by Orlando Voorn.[2] Zimmerman intended to officially release the remix, but chose not to, due to sample clearance issues. Zimmerman created a revised version of the remix with all samples from the original removed, and released it as the third track his fifth studio album, 4×4=12. The track title refers to Orlando, Florida, a city sharing the same name as Orlando Voorn.[2]

The instrumental is featured in the 2011 video game Saints Row: The Third, on the fictional radio station K12.[3]
