painting rainbows when it stormed, when it rained

painting rainbows on the seats in a train

i paint rainbows when i speak, when i sing

i paint rainbows when i speak, when i sing

they sellin’ out, they sore off the riches

p**s poor, they broke in the spirit

still here with the ones that i came with

still here with the ones that i came with

sunshine, yeah, sonny sunshine

we still here, b***h, look, we alive

late night, studio, grind grind grind

we still here when they thought we would die

Skrillex’s new albums have me very hyped. And it was his birthday a couple days ago, coincidentally. So I drew up his character Priscilla (the gothic character that has been showing up on some of his album covers since “Supersonic (My Existence)” on), both to help tap into that hype and because I quite dig Priscilla’s design~

Skrillex - Quest For Fire Review

Skrillex’s long-awaited second album “Quest for Fire” released in February 2023, only a week after Rebecca Black’s debut. I’ve been listening to Skrillex since his rise to fame in 2010, though I hadn’t paid as much attention to his work going into the mid-to-late 2010s as large releases became infrequent. “Quest for Fire” was a much-appreciated release, dropping me head-first back into the gritty, in-your-face sound of Skrillex’s music while breaking enough new ground to still feel fresh in the 2020s.

Tracks like “RATATA” are suitably catchy, while tracks like “Tears”, “Rumble”, and collaboration with Noisia, Josh Pan & Dylan Brady “Supersonic (my existence)” take the listener through bass-heavy soundscapes with Skrillex’s signature incredible sound design.

“XENA”, a collaboration with up-and-coming Palestinian jazz artist Nai Barghouti ناي البرغوثي, was a welcome surprise. “XENA” is an adaptation of the Palestinian folk song “Ghandara” “غندرة” which takes Barghouti’s vocals and arranges them with deep synth basslines and Arab-style drums, creating an utterly unique track which blends this traditional Palestinian piece with contemporary American EDM.

Barghouti previously released her arrangement of the song on her album “Nai 1”, which is worth listening to on its own.

The album closes with “Hazel Theme” and “Still Here (with the ones that I came with)”, laid-back tracks, a staple of Skrillex albums and EPs. “Hazel Theme” behaves as an ambient intro to “Still Here”, which features a groovy two-step garage beat, moody sub-bass, and a big soundscape of pads and various samples.

Both tracks prominently feature melodically chopped vocals, an element of his music present since his early works I’m happy to see still present in the current day. The lyric “Still Here with the ones that I came with” acknowledges Skrillex’s peers and mentors, which repeats throughout the song before its eventual finale.

Overall, “Quest for Fire” is exceptionally listenable from start to finish, and has many tracks that I’ve returned to throughout 2023 and 2024 and will likely continue to return to in the future.

it is just so funny that this used to be skrillex, to me. like yeah of course the screamy emo guy who was a part of warped tour would go on to make some of the most energetic, melodic, and well-known complextro and brostep the world has ever seen. also this album just makes me want to go listen to either Take To The Skies by Enter Shikari or A Fever You Can't Sweat Out by Panic! at the Disco over it, which are the only other two albums ive listened to that have similar vibes

FBG Duck - Shidd (Auto-Play Remix)

🚖💖💥

Auto-Play Remix of FBG Duck's "Shidd".

Hybrid Trap/Halftime/Trap/Electronic/Brostep

Trying new way to mix hopefully it sounds better than previous releases.

Recreated the first 'drop' of Skrillex/Noisia/Dylan Brady's "Supersonic". Felt it would work well with a high energy trap song.

Mashup of Supersonic and Shidd.

Inspired by Getter, Noisia, Dylan Brady, 100 Gecs, Skrillex,

More remixes are coming soon.....

https://www.musikblog.de/2024/09/fred-again-ten-days/ Fred Again.., der britische Musikproduzent und Multiinstrumentalist, zeigt mit seinem vierten Album “ten days”, dass er sich vom schnellen Puls des Clublebens abwendet und einen entschleunigten, introspektiven Kurs einschlägt. Dabei zeigt sich fix, dass Zahlen nicht zu seinen stärksten Disziplinen gehören: Die ursprüngliche Idee, zehn Tage aus seinem Leben in musikalischer Form zu präsentieren, mündete […]

QUEST FOR FIRE Basement Set

====

There is a time and place for Skrillex. Shout out to the videographer--I like the fact that no one is there. I don't listen to Skrillex enough to know of how much is his own music and what is being pulled from other artists, but I know he pumped in his 2023 tracks in here too. He had a cut of a Warped Tour interview he did as 'From First to Last' laced in the middle of the set which I thought was a really cool touch. Not sure how much this cost him, but I wish more DJs would do this. I'm entertained by a DJ set.
