Skrillex's 'Warhol' Album: A Chaotic Masterpiece?
10 Aug
Summary
- New album title sounds provocative but is a powerful artistic statement.
- Features collaborations with diverse artists from electronic music legends to upstarts.
- The album revisits Skrillex's early dubstep roots with a modern edge.
Skrillex's new album, "FUCK U SKRILLEX YOU THINK UR ANDY WARHOL BUT UR NOT!! <3," marks a significant return to his dubstep roots. Initially released as a Dropbox link after a private listening party in Miami, the album is now available on all major streaming platforms. This 34-track, 46-minute project is executive produced by Team EZY and Virtual Riot, with contributions from artists like Boys Noize, Jónsi, Ilykimchi, and Whitearmor.
The album's frenetic pace and genre-bending approach, incorporating dubstep, drum'n'bass, trap, and UK garage, echo Skrillex's early impact on the electronic music scene. Some tracks trace back to 2011, stemming from a past hard drive theft. The record serves as a comprehensive showcase of his musical evolution and playful self-awareness, blending personal catharsis with a forceful artistic declaration.
