"Ritual" is a song by electronic dance music producer and DJ Marshmello, featuring American singer Wrabel.[1][2][3][4][5] It was released on November 1, 2016, and marked his first release on American record label Owsla.[6][7][8] The song appeared on the charts in the US and Canada, peaking at number 8 in the US Dance/Electronic Digital Song Sales chart.[9] The song was also renowned for its music video, due to its copyright dispute by Canadian electronic music producer deadmau5.[10][11]
Music video[edit]
On November 1, 2016, Marshmello released the original music video for "Ritual".[12] The video was directed by Andrew Donoho and released on Owsla's YouTube channel, of which the upload has amassed over 50 million views.[13] The video was also uploaded onto Marshmello's own YouTube channel.[14] EDM Artists Skrillex, Slushii and Valentino Khan were featured on the video.
deadmau5 dispute[edit]
The music video for "Ritual" originally briefly featured an interpretation of Canadian electronic music producer and DJ deadmau5's "mau5head" logo (with a third ear as a Mohawk) being worn by a fan.[15][16] This was disputed by deadmau5, who claimed "I'd rather be associated with a pile of dog shit".[10][17][18] On November 3, 2016, the music video was reuploaded with the disputed scene removed.[19] However, the original upload remains on record label Owsla's YouTube channel, but is currently unlisted.[19]
Marshmello had previously referenced deadmau5, in the music video for "Alone", which features Marshmello's pet mouse, Joel (deadmau5's real name).[20][21]
