Skrillex has released a new album, 'F*CK U SKRILLEX YOU THINK UR ANDY WARHOL BUT UR NOT!! <3>
The record features collaborations with Varg2™, Wuki, 100 Gecs' Dylan Brady, Jónsi, Starrah, Boys Noize, G Jones, Naisha, LOAM, swedm® and more. The opening track is titled 'SKRILLEX IS DEAD'.
'FUS' should fulfil Skrillex's "final project" for Warner Music Group subsidiary Atlantic Records and begin his shift towards working as an "'independent' artist", a move he shared in a series of posts on X in November 2024. (Around the 31:45 mark of the new LP, an audio clip says, "This beat drop has been seized by Atlantic Records and has been replaced with silence" — see what other moments fans are highlighting on the Skrillex subreddit.)
"I'm thrilled to get this out and focus on more releases in '25 as an 'independent' artist", he wrote at the time. "But 'independent' is such a strange term because I still depend on my team as well as all the other creatives and executors to do what I do... But now I’m able to rethink/relook at how the structures are designed. I want to find ways to simplify decimating music and art. I see lots of artists in a constant panic."
This is Skrillex's third surprise drop via the OWSLA mailing list. In February he shared snippets 'Bibi's Tower' and 'Scut' with fans. Sign up for the emails here.
This past weekend, Skrillex performed on the Ultra Miami Main Stage for the first time in a decade. Watch the set here.
After releasing his two comeback albums, 'QUEST FOR FIRE' and 'Don't Get Too Close', in 2023, Skrillex shared a number of collaborations in 2024 with the likes of Boys Noize, Ahadadream and Priya Ragu, Varg²™ and Bladee, Hamdi and TAICHU, Headie One, Fred again.., Champion, Four Tet and Naisha, and Loco Dice and Fireboy DML.
