Fuck U Skrillex You Think Ur Andy Warhol but ur not !!: self -portrait with drop and language :: the reviews of Ondarock

Like the beat straight and harassing of Gigi D'Agostino marked the slopes of our provincial discos, so the cashier in Halftime of Skrillex – unpleasant, persistent, unmistakable – gave a sound identity to the nights of the generation blossomed between soundcloud and discord. From there it starts “Fuck u skrillex you think ur Andy Warhol but ur not !!”, which unhinges and reassembles its own legacy with self -ironic impetus and sharp lucidity.

A mixed album, a iridescent and almost carnival flow in which they alternate – with juggler timing – all the tricks of the toolbox brostep.
In “Recovery” segmentations stitter (hence an entire vein between House and Post-Dubstep) and reserve built on rates and subsequent doubling of the beat. Here is in “Things i Promised” and “Druids” Le Melodie bubblegum broken, who had made “Scary Monsters and Nice Sprites” a global catchphrase. “Ultra Intro Vip” sinks in the bass monstrous“Look at you” takes them back and approaches them to Drum'n'Bass fragments and in the presence, surprising but almost imperceptible, of Jónsi dei Sigur Rós. And then, of course, the drop: totemic object of worship of those years, here reinvented however in a more fluid and playful form, without mechanical form Cruccese mode who had quickly made a checked blade at the time. However, when it is used again to fully pursue the adrenaline blow, as in “Morja Kaiju Vip” or “Jungundra”, the old magic is surprised to surprise how it hadn't happened for a long time.

All the stratagems available to confuse in “Voltage”, where determination and sugar do the pair with the usual voice High-pitchedshot in skies almost nightcore. The KO piece is certainly missing in the album (perhaps the video game of “San Diego Vip” video game?), But for boredom there is no time: every idea is allowed the exact time to show itself, hit and prepare the field to the next. Who can take the face of the Synthoni from the summer dance of “G2G”, of the incursions Ragamuffin who animate “dnb ting” or the underworld style ride of “Zeet Noise” (in league with Boys Noize, another hot name of the time). Or, again, of the trap deviation offered by “Momentum”, a modernized echo of a season in which ubiquity in featuring It was enough to producer to stay afloat.
Here, however, hybridization returns to being language, I do not fall back. No reinvention, but the best possible self -portrait: a distorted but very faithful mirror of the chaos chopped that Skrilx has helped to create.
