I've been waiting for this track to drop since Skrillex premiered it as an ID Track at Ultra 2025 - with Miko in attendance - I can honestly say, the wait was worth it as the final mix delivers heavily.

That’s how it is on his album, nadie sabe lo que va a pasar mañana, is different; though a modest return to form to his x100Pre to YHLQMDLG era, it ... read more
