Taking a bite out of one of New York City’s most beloved concert venues, Skrillex is officially returning to The Big Apple. The dubstep legend is primed for a rare October 27th performance in the Great Hall at Avant Gardner, which the club’s operators have dubbed “the quintessential Brooklyn warehouse venue.” It’ll be the first time he’s performed in New York City since 2017, according to Avant Gardner’s announcement, which also revealed Wax Motif and Noodles as support. Back in August 2017 Skrillex gave Webster Hall a proper sendoff, headlining the last-ever club night of the fabled New York nightlife venue. The event was an end of an era of sorts, and has grown in legend to be considered one of the venue’s most memo...

But it’s now top-of-mind thanks to a new interview with The New Yorker, who chatted with Eilish and her brother FINNEAS, a prolific music producer and the mastermind behind the vast majority of her recordings.

And of all the things to analyze at such a prestigious summit, Eilish and FINNEAS chose dubstep. Eilish is apparently a fan of Skrillex and his old-school sound, which longtime diehards have been clamoring for as he continues to produce pop-ori...

At 16, most teenagers are worrying about prom dates and chemistry quizzes. But Moore Kismet isn’t most people. The prodigious electronic music virtuoso, who recently became the youngest artist to ever perform at Lollapalooza, has announced that they’re working on new music with one of the most iconic producers of their generation. They took to Twitter today to announce that a collab with Skrillex is in the works.

Skrillex has finally confirmed the news his fans have been clamoring for: he’s all but finished “multiple bodies of work.” Speaking to Zane Lowe on Apple Music 1, the dubstep icon waxed poetic about his experiences creating “Don’t Go,” a collab with Justin Bieber and Don Toliver. It was his comments about future projects, however, that fanned the flames of the anticipation surrounding his long-awaited sophomore album. “I don’t like to say too much,” Skrillex said, “but I mean, I have some projects, I hate the word finishing, but I have all the songs and I’m just in there tweaking and releasing some singles before I decided to put out the bodies of work.” He then went on to explain how he initially planned...
Ahead of the release of their hotly anticipated collab “Don’t Go,” Skrillex, Justin Bieber, and Don Toliver have unveiled a preview of the tune. If the clip is any indication, the trio have a bona fide hit on their hands. They’ve cooked up a woozy R&B banger, a slow-burner rife with the hypnotic yet forceful bass of a contemporary Skrillex production. A music video for “Don’t Go” is also on the way, but a release date has not yet been confirmed. Skrillex and Bieber were spotted in the studio in late 2020, fueling speculation that new music was on the horizon.

The generous preview begins with the duo announcing that the song has never been played before. Luckily, the clip was filmed in the front row and is rather high-quality for a live-recorded video.
