Skrillex Surprise Drops New Album ‘Don’t Get Too Close’ During Madison Square Garden Show
Thania Garcia Skrillex surprised fans on Saturday night by dropping “Don’t Get Too Close” (via Owsla/Atlantic), which arrived less than 24 hours after his LP “Quest for Fire.” The new set includes features from Yung Lean, Bladee, Chief Keef, Justin Bieber, PinkPantheress, Trippie Redd, Bibi Bourelly, Kid Cudi, and more. The announcement came during the producer-DJ’s massive Madison Square Garden rave on Saturday night with Fred Again and Four Tet. According to a press release, bootleg CDs of the album were handed out at the event that will not be available anywhere else. The show, and his back-to-back full-length releases, mark the conclusion of a jam-packed week of activity for Skrillex that kicked off with a Valentine’s Day pop-up in New York’s Good Room and concluded with a massive MSG pre-party in the middle of Times Square for the Lot Radio on Feb. 17.
