The day so many electronic music fans have been impatiently anticipating for what seems like forever is finally here. JOYRYDE and Skrillex‘s collaboration titled ‘AGEN WIDA’ that has been teased since early 2017, has finally seen the light of day. This track also marks JOYRYDE’s first release in over a year, so one can understand how badly fans wanted, and needed it. Although heavily teased, much speculation arose about what the final track would sound like, with some thinking a trap drop would follow the bass house section. With today’s release, critics were silenced, speculation was put to rest and fans were put at ease.
The familiar melody leads off the track, with JOYRYDE’s signature drift-inspired samples and heavy-hitting yoinks at the forefront. Wasting no time, the two legendary producers quickly bridge the gap into a bass house drop that is highly unconventional for the genre, as a plethora of quirky yet impeccably timed drum loops take the spotlight. A switch-up brings listeners into more percussion filled madness that airs more on the trap side. And, if you thought the first part of ‘AGEN WIDA’ was wicked, the second half of the track is even wilder than the first. JOYRYDE and Skrillex take the bass house insanity to another level without disrupting the flow, perfectly complimenting the first half of the song.
JOYRYDE’s bass house influence and Skrillex’s flawless production easily make ‘AGEN WIDA’ a contender for track of the year. If this doesn’t have you hyped for JOYRYDE’s BRAVE album out on November 30th, I don’t know what does. Check it out below!
