Skrillex this, Skrillex that… what about Birthday party? The Chicago duo and twin brothers Bryan and Jon celebrated their birthday yesterday with a ride of three Skrillex tracks – two from fire quest and a bold choice to remix one of his most iconic remixes for La Roux’s “In For The Kill.”
These very easily could have been disposable remixes, made for shit and giggles, but all of them are certified bangers indeed. “Rumble” transitions into a thumping drum and bass beat that perfectly captures the essence of the original with a new time signature and way, way, path more drums, more really creative synth work.
“Still Here (With Those I Came With)” was a massive track that saw Skrillex team up with Porter Robinson for the first time. It could have ended so badly if taken in the wrong direction, but the vocal chops with the classic house bass sound really makes sense and again presents a new take on the beautiful original that’s more track-oriented. of dance.
Finally, the “In For The Kill” remix… famously remixed not only by Skrillex but also by Skream. For Birthdayy Partyy, not only remixing the original, but Skrillex’s own remix is a bold choice, but as seen in the previous two flips, they clearly have an ear for how to get inspired and give their own turn to something creatively and successfully. . For this entry, they take the original brostep-heavy remix and turn to drums and bass again for a perfect high-energy, double-time banger.
All of the tracks range from a minute and a half to just over two minutes, so they’re definitely meant to be live edits, but that doesn’t mean they aren’t still hitting hard. Happy birthday to Birthday Partyy, we really want to party a little more now.
