This is true for so much of his work.
Bad Selection is another prime example of this. The deep bass, which is always a crowd pleaser, is present throughout. The construction is different to most other producers however. In many tracks by other producers most of the intensity is created at the breakdown, and this builds to a crescendo until the drop, when the energy is released.
With Deadmau5, I find that the intensity is in the DNA of the song and will build to peak before the breakdown. At the breakdown, I find that suddenly I'm a bit lost and want the intensity back. When the track drops again, it becomes even more appealing but there's no release as we're back into the intense stuff. I guess you could almost call it an addiction because I grow to crave the intensity.
