Sonny John Moore is just 26 years old and he has won a total of 6 Grammy awards and is the founder of a genre-defining Record Label called OWSLA. And yet Skrillex has always eluded the absolute dream project for any artist – his first full length artist album. And now, finally, after many years of changing and influencing the Dance Music scene, Skrillex has finally caught up with his dream as he announces his debut artist album “Recess“.
Known for incorporating trending sounds and shifting sonic terrains through his productions, trust Skrillex to never do the normal! And he showed us once again, through his unpredictability, as he began a clever online campaign called Alien Ride which reveals the 11 explosive tracks from his album through an innovative 8-bit Space Invaders style game! It’s simple; download the app – Beat the levels – and you get to download the tracks to stream for a limited time via iTunes! How awesome is that!
While you unlock the challenges, we’ve done a little digging around and found a horde of ardent and enthusiastic fans willing to share their sounds for your listening pleasure! We have to say, we’re mighty impressed so far as the album features a string of collaborations with Dance music luminaries such as Ragga Twins, Kill The Noise, Fatman Scoop, Chance the Rapper, G-Dragon, Mishka, Kid Harpoon amongst others! Check out the tracks below as we await more details on the album!
