Electronic frontrunners Skrillex and ISOxo reunite with a long-teased collaboration that’s finally made its way to long-awaited fans. Titled ‘Smoke’, the track is released after circulating in live sets for years, building a kind of underground anticipation that only added to its eventual impact. Now officially out in the world, alongside vocal contributions from Cristale and TeeZandos,it unfolds with a restless urgency, weaving together familiar echoes and a distinctly future-focused vibe.
From the opening seconds, ‘Smoke’ pulls listeners in instantly, setting the tone from the first beat. The production leans into a gritty, bass-heavy framework, layered with sharp percussive hits and a restless, almost combustible energy. It’s the kind of track that feels engineered for late-night festival chaos. Three adjectives that come to mind: punchy, volatile, and unapologetically loud. Skrillex’s signature intensity collides seamlessly with ISOxo’s modern trap sensibilities, creating something that feels raw, yet meticulously sculpted.
What makes the track particularly compelling is its playful recognition of the past. Fleeting vocal cuts and samples subtly reference earlier electronic moments including fragments reminiscent of Scatta and Harlem Shake, giving ‘Smoke’ a layered, almost collage-like texture. Rather than leaning too heavily on nostalgia, these elements are embedded into the track’s DNA, enhancing its intensity without overpowering its modern edge.
This release also marks another chapter in the evolving creative partnership between the two producers. Following previous collaborations and shared stages, their chemistry continues to sharpen, with ‘Smoke’ showcasing a more refined yet unpredictable sound. It’s a track that thrives on tension (balancing chaos with control) and ultimately delivers a high-impact listening experience that feels as explosive as it is deliberate.
With ‘Smoke’, Skrillex and ISOxo don’t just meet expectations, they exceed them. This release overflows with adrenaline and leaves a lingering afterglow long after the final drop.
