Four Tet & Fred Again; "Butterflies" with Starrah & Four Tet; "Ratata" feat. Missy Elliott & Mr. Oizo; and "Still Here (With the Ones That I Came With)" featuring Porter Robinson & Bibi Bourelly.

Skrillex is Back
Skrillex, born Sonny John Moore, hails from Los Angeles, California. He had a rocky childhood and leaned on music as a teenager.
He is best known for doing collaborations with other artists, like Justin Bieber, Diplo, J Balvin, and more.
Despite not having a lot of music, fans agree that Skrillex is more of a quality-over-quantity type of guy.
Prior to "Quest for Love," he released his debut studio album "Recess" in 2014.
Fans are ecstatic to have him back in the music scene, and given that when he was active, he had a myriad of accolades and awards to prove just how good he was in his craft, many are expecting that the upcoming album will be a banger.
Skrillex never really addressed why he took a nine-year hiatus from making music, but back when he was, he was considered as one of the bests.
He boasts eight Grammy Awards over the years, including Best Dance Recording for "Scary Monsters and Nice Sprites," Best Dance/Electronica Album for "Scary Monsters and Nice Sprites", and Best Remixed Recording for "Cinema."
"Bangarang" won best dance recording and best dance/electronica album at the 2013 Grammys, while "Promises" won best-remixed recording, "Where Are U Now" won Best Dance Recording, and he also won best dance/electronic album in 2016.
