With a title that is already manifest and parody, “F*CK U Skrillex You Think Ur Andy Warhol But UR NOT !! <3" closes the record parable of Sonny John Moore, but opens a passage in the post-all of contemporary electronics aesthetic.
Skrillex Is Dead? Starts the title of the first song. A disc that is a farewell or a breaking gesture?
The impression is that this album is rather a controlled dilation of the Skrilx universe, an album that stages a personal sound anthology – simultaneously self -referential and open, celebratory and corrosive.
Distributed as a 34 -track continuous DJ set, the disc works as a long suite of mutations: dubstep, glitch, phonk, hyperpop, broken techno, ironic vocal strokes, irreverent sample. Skrillex moves like a digital alchemist who recombins rave and internet iconographies, with the support of heterogeneous allies: from Jónsi dei Sigur Rós to Dylan Brady of the 100 Gecs, passing through Varg2TM, Joker and the always faithful Boys Noize.
Poly-edge is the distinctive figure of the album, which alternates deadly bass-driven explosions (such as the expected Voltage and San Diego Vip) with more conceptual detour, such as Spitfire's metalinguistic joke or the synthetic dissonances of Zeet Noise. There is an almost anarchist creative freedom that crosses the project, supported by a well -known curatorial intention than the ironic patina suggests.
Yet, precisely this absolute freedom becomes, at times, its limit. The album risks imploding on itself, losing itself in the meanders of an all too self -referential sound stratification. Not all songs hold the weight of the ambition, and some sections – such as D&B Ting or certain moments of atmospheric filler – slip into self -satisfaction, slowing down the rhythm of an otherwise engaging listening.
Far from being a simple amarcord, f*ck u skrilx … is a disordered but authentic reflection on the evolution of a key figure of the twenty -first century sound. It is also a cultured divertissement, a chaotic staging that celebrates the community, the scene and irony as forms of resistance to approval.
To dance and to be wrapped in closed eyes and not to listen to!
To listen immediately
Difficult to identify a song in its term consono.
To skip immediately
Until you hold and ballad. Then skip
