EDM and Dubstep great Skrillex is back with a surprise single, “Thistle,” and it’s a high-octane collaboration with Blawan, Randomer and MC Dricka. This song is really nothing like what Skrillex has done before, and it brings together a mix of retro and futuristic styles.
“Thistle” marks the third single from Skrillex’s current music release run, following up the collaborations “Duro” with Young Miko and “Smoke” with ISOxo. As Skrillex often does with his songs, fans were the first ones to get their ears on the track, because before it was officially released, Skrillex shared the song directly with listeners on his email list.
Inside Skrillex’s ‘Thistle’
“Thistle” is a high-energy EDM song that blends genres and doesn’t really fit neatly into any particular genre group. The song mixes techno with the funk sounds of MC Dricka. It’s an aggressive, funky, futuristic track that incorporates dark, pulsating techno beats with Brazilian bass and strong funk breaks.
