Skrillex Not ‘So Quiet’ About Dream Collaboration

The tides are turning for Skrillex, from the early days and innovation of big sounding dubstep has come a path of creativity and thoughtful progression as he wades out of the murky waters of the genre and into the future of dance music. Be it his cutting edge label OWSLA, that boasts releases from Crookers, Australian club-kickers What So Not, Jack Beats, Blood Diamonds, Dog Blood and The M Machine, his collaborations with other pioneers Diplo, Boys Noize, A$AP Rocky and soundtracking Harmony Korines feature film “Spring Breakers” the future looks immediately bright for the once punk-metal artist (let’s not forget his impromptu appearance during an acoustic Above & Beyond set a few weeks back).

In his latest musings in an interview with Rolling Stone over a thought-to-be quiet year he talks gearing up for an album release, previewing new material at HARD, dream collaborations and whats in store for 2014.

Possibly the most intriguing comments come of working with Icelandic experimental singer Bjork. While the pair had met previously whilst touring through South America and both had hinted at something together, the pairing has yet to come to fruition.

This could happen 20 years from now, who knows, but Bjork’s someone I’ve loved since I’ve been a vocalist, and we did some touring in South America two years ago. [We] talked about making stuff and she even mentioned it in an interview at some point, so I gotta check that off the bucket list. That’d be dope, to do some cool, vibe-y stuff with her. But like I said, I like discovering new people too, so who knows?

Other notable topics include Skrillexs forthcoming record, of which six new tracks were played at HARD over the weekend. Sonny explains that he’s retained elements but adds a whole lot more to the productions.

They definitely cover a lot of ground, and there’s still more stuff on the record that is yet to be seen. It’s still me, but it’s like – I think someone said it before – the same fabric, but a new coat, a better coat.

All in all, a short but interesting read with someone we value within the scene who is trying something new and innovative.
