On the day of his 38th birthday, Skrillex has decided to treat his fans to a birthday present, a 3-track EP titled ‘Kora’.

Without any hints or announcements, Skrillex has just surprise-released a brand-new three-track EP, landing on the very day of his 38th birthday, a gift not to himself, but to the global dance music community.

The EP brings together a tightly curated lineup of collaborators and sees Skrillex continuing his recent streak of experimental, forward-thinking releases. Each track leans into different corners of underground and left-field club culture, while still carrying the unmistakable sonic signature that has defined his career.

Tracklist

1) “Yo Yan” with Sacred Family
2) “Someone Said” with Varg2™, Eurohead, Whitearmor, swedm®
3) “Kora” with Varg2™, Eurohead, Sillickbrain, swedm®

From the jump, ‘Yo Yan’ sets the tone with raw, percussive energy alongside Sacred Family, while ‘Someone Said’ dives deeper into distorted textures and avant-garde rhythms, fueled by contributions from Varg2™, Eurohead, Whitearmor, and swedm®. Closing things out, ‘Kora’ pushes even further into experimental territory, blending abrasive sound design with hypnotic momentum.

The project feels less like a traditional EP and more like a snapshot of Skrillex’s current creative mindset, boundaryless, collaborative, and rooted in underground scenes across the globe. It also reinforces his ability to spotlight emerging and niche artists, placing them front and center within his ever-evolving universe.

Dropping the release on his birthday feels intentional. At 38, Skrillex isn’t slowing down or leaning on nostalgia, he’s continuing to challenge expectations, redefine his sound, and surprise fans at every turn.

As always with Skrillex, this EP isn’t just something to listen to, it’s something to unpack. And knowing him, this surprise drop may only be the beginning of what’s still to come.
