Selecta - Skrillex, BEAM

Skrillex just dropped a decade's worth of music within two days

As we enter deeper into 2023, the world of electronic dance music is experiencing a major shift in sound, with Skrillex emerging as one of the major forces behind it. The iconic EDM producer, who recently performed at Madison Square Garden alongside Fred Again and Four Tet, has been delivering back-to-back releases of high-quality music, cementing his position as one of the most influential artists of our time.

Skrillex's first solo album in almost a decade, "Quest For Fire," is a testament to his hard work and determination to make 2023 his year. The album features collaborations with a diverse range of artists, including Missy Elliot, Mr Oizo, Porter Robinson, and Swae Lee, among others. Tracks such as "Rumble" and "Ratata" have been dominating charts, earning critical acclaim for their forward-thinking sound that blends elements of dubstep with modern EDM.

But just when fans thought they had had their fill, Skrillex dropped yet another surprise, releasing his third solo album, "Don't Get Too Close," just one day after the release of "Quest For Fire." While "Quest For Fire" is a collection of hard-hitting dance tracks, "Don't Get Too Close" showcases Skrillex's versatility as a producer, fusing drum and bass, hip hop, and pop with his signature sound to create an album that's fresh, innovative, and irresistibly catchy.

One of the standout tracks from "Don't Get Too Close" is "Selecta," a collaboration with BEAM that samples the title track from "Rumble" and infuses it with Dancehall vibes. It's a track that's impossible to resist, with an infectious beat that will get you moving from the first note to the last. Skrillex and BEAM have created a perfect fusion of their sounds, resulting in a track that's a true reflection of the current state of dance music.
