In a super secret surprise manner Diplo and Skrillex have released their long rumored collaboration project Jack Ü. Jack Ü is a collaboration made in EDM heaven bringing together two of the absolute heavyweights in the club scene. The album however is less about making something new or super creative, instead its more an exploration of what two friends deeply entrenched in a scene can do when they work together. The record is fun, plain and simple. There are drop heavy tracks which clearly have the Skrillex signature on them, but there is also the funky blend of a variety of musical influences that comes from Diplo. The album is super aggressive pushing its bass forward tracks on you for a couple of minutes then dropping out just to be replaced for another. Skrillex and Diplo Present Jack Ü is relentless EDM, but it is exactly what you want from an album like this.

In an interesting move the final track "Take Ü There" featuring Kiesza is actually a remix of the first track but this one has Missy Elliot. Hearing Missy Miss on a track for the first time in a very long time is amazing. She has not lost a step and blends herself seamlessly into a genre of music that she totally missed. It's as if EDM was absolutely built for her. Hopefully this means we'll be hearing much more from Missy Elliot soon. Skrillex and Diplo Present Jack Ü is exactly what it set out to be a fun and aggressive EDM blast of energy. You can definitely see this being on full volume in clubs across the country, just make sure you remember your party pants.
