Released 10 Years Ago: Skrillex – First Of The Year (Equinox)

Published

2010 saw the emergence of the unique and trendsetting artist, Skrillex, as he exploded into the scene with his debut single ‘Weekends!!!’. With this release, he opened up a whole new universe as he would take dubstep to the mainstream, becoming the face of the rising genre in the process. He followed up on this breakout year of 2010 by taking it to the next level in 2011, delivering a multitude of dubstep anthems. One track which has aged like a fine wine is ‘First Of The Year (Equinox)’. Released on the 7th of June 2011, ‘First Of The Year (Equinox)’ featured Skrillex‘s signature wobbles and growls that he would be famous for. Gaining over 500 million streams since its release, ‘First Of The Year (Equinox)’ still holds up to this day as one of the most popular dubstep productions of all time.

Skrillex helped propel one of the largest shifts in modern American music in recent memory. At around the one-minute mark of his first Grammy acceptance speech in 2012, iPhone in hand, scrolling interminably down a list, it became clear that Skrillex doesn’t feel isolated from his peers. It’s always been a defining trait of his character, this aptitude at building things with others. It’s since gone on to characterize, color, and define his career, too. From his music to his label, his countless brand collaborations and his work on major Hollywood movies, Skrillex quite simply loves to make things. Despite being one of the biggest names in music, Skrillex hasn’t walked away from the “do-it-ourselves” attitude he’s had since his start.

Continuing his slue of relentless releases Deadlynoiz has now put his spin on the trailer music for Tron Ares.

While Tron Ares wasn’t a particularly well received film, everyone agreed unanimously that the soundtrack from Nine Inch Nails was astonishing. The track that particularly caught the ear of Deadlynoiz was the cinematic version of ‘As Alive As You Need Me To Be.’ This masterpiece from the first trailer has now been transformed. Deadlynoiz has flipped the track into a vicious dubstep hit that keeps the powerful cinematic energy but has an injection of aggressive synths and thunderous bass. This remix pulls no punches with Deadlynoiz putting his well-developed style on full display. He’s made a song which can only be cranked up to 11 and headbanged to with its combination of hugely impactful percussion and diverse synths.

Deadlynoiz has built a reputation for his massively heavy style and dark tone which he has applied to his gargantuan catalogue of music. His work rate is far beyond what most artists could dream of as he’s already released over 20 singles in 2026 and has more on the way. He’s been gradually growing his fanbase through his incredible productions as well as his regular live streams where he shows off his style. His music has earnt him over 150,000 streams on Spotify and he’s continuing to ramp up the numbers with every release.

This new remix lives up to Deadlynoiz’s reputation of always delivering enormous power in a single track. He’s presented a song which captures the cinematic tone of the original with a large helping of heavy dubstep. As per usual his mastery over producing dark, potent tracks doesn’t disappoint.

Towerume & Deadlynoiz Team Up On ‘Up To The Madness’

Towerume & Deadlynoiz team up on ‘Up To The Madness’, a 2026 dubstep single featuring melodic sections, heavier bass production and a ringtone-inspired first drop

Towerume and Deadlynoiz add a new collaboration to their 2026 releases with Up To The Madness, bringing both producers together on a dubstep track that sits firmly within the heavier side of their recent work. Released on August 31, 2026, the single moves through melodic sections and heavier bass production while giving each part enough space to develop across its short runtime. Its most distinctive moment comes with the first drop, where a ringtone-inspired lead cuts through before the track pushes deeper into dubstep and distorted bass.

Inside Up To The Madness

The opening section introduces softer pads and a more melodic side of the track before the first drop takes it in a different direction. A ringtone-style lead enters alongside growls and heavier bass, creating one of the more recognisable moments in the release. The arrangement continues switching between those melodic and harder sections without stretching the idea beyond its short runtime.

For Deadlynoiz, the release follows a busy year that has included singles such as No Sleep and Killa, alongside the OBSCURA EP. His recent catalogue has covered dubstep and other electronic styles, while his Apple Music profile lists Skrillex, Hardwell and Martin Garrix among his early electronic music influences. Up To The Madness sits closely with the dubstep side of that catalogue and continues a year in which he has released music consistently.

A New Collaboration For Towerume And Deadlynoiz

Towerume has also worked across several areas of electronic music before this release. His earlier catalogue includes Carabao, while 2025 saw him release the bass house track For The Night through LVLD MUSIC and collaborate with Hyper-X on Not The End. He has also previously worked with Bass Boost and Lana Forrer, making collaborations an established part of his output before teaming up with Deadlynoiz.

That background gives Up To The Madness a natural crossover point between the two producers. Deadlynoiz brings an established connection to dubstep, while Towerume comes into the release following music across bass house, techno and other electronic styles. Their first release together brings those paths into the same track, with the melodic setup and heavier dubstep sections giving each producer a place within the collaboration.

With Up To The Madness now out, the single adds another release to an active 2026 for both artists while introducing their first documented collaboration together.

Up To The Madness is available now across major streaming platforms.

Deadlynoiz Gives Martin Garrix and Seth Hills’ ‘Biochemical’ the Dubstep Treatment

From a classic Martin Garrix and Seth Hills tune to a dark dubstep rework, Deadlynoiz reimagines “Biochemical” into a mind-wobbling remix.

Bringing a hard-hitting sound to the original, the New York-based artist turns it into a bass-heavy record, built for the big stages and peak-time sets.

Speaking about the story behind the remix, Deadlynoiz says he wanted to put his own signature on ‘Biochemical’ ever since Garrix played it during his Ultra Music Festival set in 2023.

“I took the original idea and completely transformed it into my own dubstep version,” says the artist, who has already been receiving a great response to the remix. Recently released on SoundCloud, Deadlynoiz mentions it is always exciting to see the reaction of people when he drops it during his livestreams and mixes.

Giving the song a darker twist, Deadlynoiz delivers ‘Biochemical’ with a refined and completely different identity, making the remix feel like his own record. While the build-up retains elements of the original Garrix and Seth Hills production, the drops take the track into a much heavier soundscape, drivn by powerful bass and aggressive sound design.

With the remix finally out, the DJ and producer says the release has been a long time coming. “I hope you guys enjoy this remix as much as I do,” he adds.
