(2025)

Fuck U Skrillex You Think Ur Andy Warhol but Ur Not!! <3 (stylized in all caps, and more commonly shortened to Fuck U Skrillex or FUS) is the fourth studio album by American record producer Skrillex. It was released on April 1, 2025, through Atlantic Records and Owsla as a surprise album, and his final album for the former labels.[3] Unlike his previous three albums, it is presented as a continuous mix hosted by producer DJ Smokey. Stylistically, the album has been described as a return to Skrillex's dubstep roots, featuring several previously unreleased tracks dating back to 2010.[3]

The album features appearances from a wide variety of collaborators, including Boys Noize, Dylan Brady, Varg2TM, Whitearmor, Starrah, Zacari, Virtual Riot and Parisi.[4] Production was primarily handled by Skrillex himself, alongside Fred Again, Varg2TM, Whitearmor, and Eurohead, among others. Fuck U Skrillex follows his pair of 2023 albums, Quest for Fire and Don't Get Too Close.

Release

[edit]

Fuck U Skrillex received no previous promotion, and was instead released as a surprise album. On March 31, 2025, one night before release, the full mixtape was shared by Skrillex via a Dropbox link sent to his email subscriber list.[5][6] The album was released to streaming services on April 1, 2025.[6]

Several months prior up to the album's release, Skrillex made public comments on his Twitter/X account about his frustration with Atlantic Records.[7] Since his contract required four albums, this album is to be Skrillex's final project with Atlantic, which has been affiliated with every Skrillex release since Weekends!!! (2010).[8]

In a review for Billboard Katie Bain called the album "occasionally laugh-out-loud funny" and "ultimately quite moving", noting its "tongue-in-cheek" tone and praising "Voltage" as "one of the most, if not the most, emotionally resonant, truly moving songs of the entire Skrillex catalog".[13] A positive review by Michaelangelo Matos for Rolling Stone noted the album's "playful edge" and attention to detail.[12] Receiving the album positively, Vulture's Craig Jenkins praised the album's eclecticism, likening the album's mixtape format to Resident Advisor mixes and DJ Drama's Gangsta Grillz series.[14]
