It took 9 years to see a new album by Skrillex (in fact, two!). But as they say, sometimes the journey itself is better than the destination, right?
Probably the weirdest artist in the EDM scene, the last person in the world interested in the music market and a clear example of: I do what I want, when I want, and how I want. A mentality that is too open, accompanied by personal ups and downs that have kept him away from the music scene.
But since the beginning of January 2023, there has been growing hype, teasers, and slowly released new records. Until the unthinkable epilogue of the release of two albums in one week.
The First, “Quest Fo Fire“, from which tracks such as Leave Me Like This, Rumble with Fred Again.. e Xena, were anticipated, brings Skrillex fans back on track. The one that was thought to have been lost after 9 years. The sound is exactly what was expected of him, and the collaborations are top-notch.
Release Date: 17 February 2023 » OWSLA | Spotify | Apple Music |
The second, with a more tranquil and melodic soul, enriched with collaborations with Swaee Lee, Justin Bieber, Pink Pantheresse, Kid Cui, is called “Don’t Get Too Close“. A softer sound allows listening even by those who are not exactly fans of #dirty genres like pure Dubstep. However, the use of sounds is skillful and shows, even ten years later, how Skrillex is a genius of modern music and how he has skillfully chosen his collaborators.

These two albums make us understand how Skrillex has matured musically and spiritually during these 9 years. A complete artist, as well as a pioneer of a shade of EDM. Thank you, Skrill!
We once again offer you the beautiful “Basement Mix” released a few days ago by Skrillex. Great for those who want to take a real spiritual journey through his releases.
