Skrillex sat down with XXL and unveiled, that he has a bunch of tracks for fans to anticipate:
“The thing about it is that there are so many records that are being made right now, which is also exciting, and whether they come out tomorrow or a year from now, there’s definitely a lot of bullets in the chamber,” Skrillex said. “That’s the cool thing about it—previous to this last decade of the 2000s, it took so much to get people in the studio, managers going back and forth, who’s getting paid and this and that. And now it’s just like, people are working together collaboratively for fun, and then you see what happens afterwards. But yeah, we’re all working on projects together, for sure. There’s a lot of cool shit in the making right now.”
Skrillex also discussed his relationship with Mike Will MAde It, to which he says has grown after beginning to learn of his self made come up:
“I was working on the Bangarang EP, and he had just showed me [Rihanna’s] ‘Pour It Up‘ [with] a demo vocal on it, unmixed, and some of the Future joints that have been coming out,” Skrillex said via phone. “And he was just like, ‘What the fuck is this sound?’ And I was in his room like, ‘What the fuck is this sound?’ It was appreciation for each other, and it was just natural. I didn’t really know much about who Mike WiLL was other than some of that shit, and then I realized he was a self-made kid. He just had his whole crew with the Eardrummas, and created this whole collective of musicians that he grew up with. And it’s the same story we have with OWSLA my record label. We were just friends playing together. Now we’re more successful and touring, but it’s always been the same process—hang together, make records together and collaborate together.”
