Skrillex -- excuuuuuuse us, three-time Grammy winner Skrillex! -- doesn't pull any punches on "Bangarang," the dubstep master's latest eardrum-crusher. The mammoth beat hits like Manny Pacquiao: fast, hard and often. Skrillex newcomers might be surprised by the track's house music influence: Rather than offer his signature slow-motion bass drop, the producer just goes from heavy to heavier, pausing only for an ethereal guitar-centric bridge before a shout of "Bass!" brings the noise back in.
Watch Skrillex's "Bangarang" video after the jump.
The video's full of youthful mayhem -- kids blowing up street corners Wile E. Coyote style, electrocuting a mustachioed ice cream man and robbing his truck. A few seconds later, the boys have grown up, pulling off a high-stakes armed robbery and leaving their old pal the ice cream man some overdue payback. Don't try this at home, folks, though we wouldn't turn down that exploding slingshot.
If that's not enough special effects magic for you, Skrillex will be blowing up Bonnaroo this summer along with Bon Iver, Radiohead, the Beach Boys and dozens more. Maybe it'll give Skrillex and Bon Iver's Justin Vernon the chance to collab at last, bringing the world the first-ever track that makes us want to fall asleep and dance all night at the same time. Make it happen, dudes! We'll be waiting right here, finishing up this Ben & Jerry's.
