Skrillex has joined forces with Nairobi-born producer Slikback for a groundbreaking new track, “Kixa.” The release is currently available exclusively on Bandcamp, YouTube, and SoundCloud, offering fans a raw and unfiltered listening experience.
A Pure Sound Design Showcase
Unlike many mainstream electronic tracks, “Kixa” is completely instrumental and devoid of vocals. Instead, it stands out as a masterclass in sound design. From its distorted drums to syncopated percussion, the song pushes boundaries with an intensity that recalls the chaotic brilliance of early Death Grips.
Every layer of the track feels precarious, yet perfectly balanced, like a game of high-stakes musical Jenga. Each sound threatens to disrupt the structure, but together they form an exhilarating whole.
Global Sounds Meet Experimental Bass
What makes “Kixa” particularly unique is its fusion of Slikback’s off-kilter Kenyan electronic style with Skrillex’s signature experimental bass production. The result is a track that feels both globally inspired and wildly unpredictable.
