34 tracks of chaos, risk, and raw invention

Skrillex has dropped a surprise 34-track album, making his boldest creative statement yet.

It’s his longest and most unpredictable project to date, packed with dubstep thunder, glitch noise, ambient detours, drum & bass, techno aggression, and hyperpop energy. This album reinforces Skrillex’s reputation as electronic music’s most restless innovator.

A 34-Track Statement

Presented as a single continuous DJ mix hosted by Trap-A-Holics legend DJ Smokey, the album captures the raw energy of Skrillex’s early live shows. Rather than aiming for radio singles or streaming hits, the focus here is on a journey — a whirlwind of bass drops, rapid-fire melodies, fierce breaks, and spoken-word inserts like the provocative “THIS BEAT DROP HAS BEEN SEIZED BY ATLANTIC RECORDS…” The result is a visceral and chaotic listening experience that demands attention.

The album’s length and complexity reflect Skrillex’s refusal to be confined by commercial expectations. It’s a statement of artistic freedom, inviting listeners into a world where genres collide and rules are broken.

Collaboration on Overdrive

Skrillex calls on a diverse roster of collaborators to fuel this sprawling project. Vocalists and producers like Sigur Rós frontman Jónsi, hyperpop innovator Dylan Brady (100 gecs), techno veteran Boys Noize, bass titan Virtual Riot, experimental producer Whitearmor, and drum & bass maestro Majestic all make appearances. This melting pot of styles reinforces the album’s genre-defying ambition.

Standout moments include “LOOK AT YOU,” which pairs Jónsi’s ethereal vocals with glitchy, cinematic synths; “ZEET NOIZE,” a high-energy techno assault with Boys Noize and Dylan Brady; and “VOLTAGE,” an emotional dubstep throwback that resurfaced after a decade, dating back to a 2011 hard drive theft incident that had left the track unreleased until now.

A Farewell to the Atlantic Era

This album marks the end of Skrillex’s major label era with Atlantic Records, concluding a partnership that began with his breakthrough success in the early 2010s. Recent reports suggest he plans to pursue an independent path going forward, focusing on direct fan engagement and creative autonomy. By releasing such an ambitious and unconventional album as his final Atlantic project, Skrillex signals a break from traditional industry expectations.

Collapsing 34 songs into a single continuous mix challenges conventional album formats and streaming habits. It’s a deliberate choice that reflects his desire to operate on his own terms — free from radio edits, playlist constraints, or label interference.

Divisive, Not Tame

The reaction to the album has been mixed but passionate. Some fans and critics hail it as Skrillex’s best work yet, praising the album’s raw energy and fearless creativity. Others find its chaotic nature difficult to digest, calling it overwhelming or disjointed. Yet this divisiveness fits perfectly with the album’s identity.

Many listeners have praised its DJ-set-meets-mixtape format, a nod to Skrillex’s roots as a club DJ and live performer. The album’s genre-hopping style also positions it as a bold pop-art statement, blurring lines between electronic subgenres and embracing absurdity as part of its charm.

Final Words on a Bold Reinvention

Clocking in at just under 46 minutes across 34 tracks, F**k U Skrillex… is both a retrospective archive and a leap forward. It revisits lost and unreleased tracks, recontextualizes live energy, and punctuates each burst of sound with sarcastic or earnest commentary.

It’s an album that demands multiple listens — rewarding patient fans with hidden layers, unexpected twists, and genre surprises. It’s simultaneously absurd, exhilarating, and defiant, marking Skrillex’s reinvention as an artist who refuses to be boxed in.

The full album is available to stream on all major platforms, with a limited vinyl edition reportedly in the works. For the latest updates on music, merch, and tour dates, visit the official Skrillex website.
