Skrillex - FIRST OF THE YEAR (EQUINOX) (FULL REMAKE FROM SCRATCH)

[@ExtraXhris]

hi, back again with another skrillex remake (wow!), first off i wanna say happy new year! and also apologize for those who've been waiting for breakdown videos and stuff, unfortunately something happened just before new year and i've not been in the best space to record anything, i know some of you don't care about personal stuff and just wanna see videos and that's fair, i dont blame ya. i do promise you all that the breakdown and sound design videos will be coming so stick around!

[@starcoreart]

happy new year! take care of yourself ✌️

[@MrDaviiss]

take your time, we will wait

[@musikkamagga3770]

Any chance you would share the files for the Bangaraang project man? I could learn so much from that

[@IronManreal]

don’t worry brother, happy new year!!

[@VrantusOfficial]

He doesnt send any project files.@@musikkamagga3770

[@kg_swe]

Bro is definitely somebody’s ghost producer

[@puffin20]

Plot twist, he actually ghost produced this one. But yeah, first Skrillex EPs were all ghost produced anyway.

[@visagemsc]

​@@puffin20got proof?

[@woulddrow540]

i was just thinking that hahaha

[@puffin20]

@@visagemsc Yeah, got plenty. But if you connect the dots it all makes sense. Many producers know this and there have been plenty of discussions since his second album dropped and there was a huge change in sound. Won't spend my time explaining it here, but just search around. (Just a tip: Moody Good, Feed Me/Spor and someone from Noisia...)

[@puffin20]

@@visagemsc Here's one good dig: Skrillex was a multi-man project with Sony Moore as its' frontman. The tracks, musically were surely written by him, but the sound design was made from people like Noisia, 16Bit and Spor. This is why soon after his skyrocketing, Sonny "lost" his laptop (which apparently was stolen by Zomboy) and never had the same sound again. The growls were never his and that's how Noisia got their studio, Spor became Feed Me and 16Bit split up. All of those artists alos started releasing under Sonny's label (OWSLA) and Deadmau5's label (Mau5trap, where Skrillex had his publicity from). It was all Deadmau5's plan to commercialize Dubstep into USA territory and he knew exactly who to hire for that.

[@DeMOSic465]

Its super accurate, but some of the growls should have way more yoy in them

[@NonexistentCZ]

More yoi = more joy

[@NerdCloud-IT]

ye it has more of that metallic sound in the real song

[@crim-jim6814]

Bro that top loop + the snares is spot on wtf.

[@rafriley6993]

honestly if you ever decided to do breakdowns or share the project files youd have a goldmine on your hands

[@HayterwaveMedia]

Lol that's what I was tryna tell him 😂

[@WforWrath]

ya a patreon with all these covers available. id be a member for sure

[@HayterwaveMedia]

@WforWrath yeah I'd pay for than $5 too

[@VrantusOfficial]

He doesnt share project files. He said that.@@HayterwaveMedia

[@HayterwaveMedia]

@@VrantusOfficial did your mom tell you she shares?

[@erricsonvideos1521]

I feel like it was just of couple years ago that everyone would tell you theres no way to remake these growls and here we are

[@arkadiuszpajda5366]

This is perfect. You even found out that Skrillex uses Loopmaster Real Strings sample pack. I am incredibly impressed. This is exactly the song that surprised me so much with its sound design in 2012 that all my previous knowledge about synthesizers was ruined. (And I was learning synthesis since 2005, since I was 8). After this track I had to learn how to make dubstep. 12 years have passed. And you just created a perfect remake of my favorite song. When you start recording tutorials, please, go over this one track especially carefully.

[@starboyarchive]

what pack is the main brass from? is it the OG vol 1 or from a different vol

[@HardTimesStudios]

Ha, and those XLNT guys think they're the shit. Good stuff my guy this is the most accurate version I've ever heard.

[@barevids]

Your ears and brain work together in an incredible way my dude, to pick apart each fundamental element and reconstruct it how you do is nuts. I think it would be so fun to hear a set of tracks that are "what if skrillex remixed..." since you have experience now with his signature sound. Also, we do care about personal things bro, this is of such minor importance compared to other areas of your life, only give this your time when it feels fun and enjoyable, don't fall into getting stressed or pressured from an audience to deliver. 😎

[@RaptorMantis]

out of the box thinking is essential for remakes :]

[@xfaon]

did not expect you here, wassup

[@edawg911]

I've never seen someone accurately do this as well as this. It's the amazing thing about skrillex honestly is that even after all these years so few people can accurately remake or create his sound

[@Soffizlly]

dude this is EXACTLY like the original wtff

[@g0yxrd]

Holy moly dude this is accurate af you even got the part I like right at 1:42. Very impressive stuff bro 🔥🔥🔥

[@IronManreal]

there are crowd noises on the OG drop broo, anyways this is fantastic

[@Zenines]

Actually insane how well done the modulation on the basses are, fantastic work

[@Hunterrrr11]

in absolute awe, this was incredible. literally forgot i was listening to a remake for a moment. best one ive ever heard of

[@fire0nyx545]

Oh shit it's exactly the same as the original track 🥵 Sincerely my respects to you and your remake 🔥

[@SpiderHam-korea]

2:32 CALL 911 NOW!!! *dubstep getting strong*

[@lividk1783]

super accurate good job fam

[@vipeout4315]

Once again, incredible remake. I'm especially impressed by the drum work. Can't wait for some Knife Party remakes, man.

[@HDPew]

Knew i subed for a reason, great work mate, love this era of Dubstep!

[@Scarpy_12]

Actually insane, It would take me a couple listens to realize it isn't the original!

[@RaptorMantis]

if there's anyone who can revive 2010's Dubstep, it's no doubt that it is XHRIS

[@Oxfordshire2024]

This is indeed the First (upload) of the Year!

[@fedrek01]

This remake is pretty good, all sounds are almost identical, I would bury the growls in the mix more, sometimes they conflicted with the vocals.

[@real-grimeboi]

This is insane 🔥

[@korlmusic]

how tf do you do this so accurately, mind blown rn

[@djebrayass]

you keep proving you're the best one at this with every single upload, insane work as always

[@L3PRDPRiNT]

This must be Skrillex's alt KZbin channel. I refuse to believe this remake is not just the original ALS file. It sounds more like First Of The Year than the damn original!! 🤣 Awesome work!

[@Laows]

yes we need a breakdown video. I always want to learn how growls work. Subbed

[@brainwayOf]

LEGEND IS BACK

[@F_ket]

You're a genius mate

[@3Musap2]

Please make a Knife Party - Tourniquet remake 🤩

[@ammarsyed]

You are so talented! Another perfect recreation of a legendary song!!!

[@rayew0621]

wow holy shit. how did you get so good at FM and recreating songs so well

[@eodunobs]

HOWwwwww That intro.. Howwwww amazing dude

[@thesolareproject]

unreal

[@TeaPennMusic]

That is soooo close, nice remke XHRIS

[@diicensmusic]

Wow. Just wow 🫡

[@ubermenschproject5287]

I spent my teens trying to remake skrillex 🤣😭

[@yungster_rick]

The goat !!!!

[@gustavo4523]

"Baby you've got a nightmare", it's dificult to say in "skrillex electronic distortion language" i understand lol the accent of each song is difficult to reproduce, imagine you being an American speaking Portuguese lol

[@reynielcaldera1385]

So on point 0.0. Brutal!!

[@codepanduro]

you are a beast

[@razamundo132]

Tight as fuck! Another great remake bro, keep it up! ❤

[@ProjectHMF]

I love this song, well done bro

[@prodbysahelmoreira]

great work!!

[@boriscreativespace]

[@Jahi_144]

Would love to see sound design videos from you

[@RageDasher_7751]

This man is so good, he's actually getting copyrighted. That says a lot.

[@X7cF4]

YOOO THIS IS SICK, WHATS UP SKRILLEX

[@highfecta]

[@frankmation]

Damn!!!!! You are f** legend.

[@dow3822]

[@AntidoteAudio]

so so sick!!!

[@lemonsEDM]

shit man this is fire!!!!! hope to see more!!!

[@vplayz7371]

the growls are insane

[@ViridusMusic]

This is so damn good wtf

[@oneoftheordinary]

i like the sound of your growls better than sonny's

[@aymane.bencheikh]

another insane remake. i think 2:04 and 3:23 aren't quite like the real thing, but the rest is spot on.

[@gospodinzalupkin]

YEEEESSS (why u blocked previous this video?)

[@BadTrip69]

no audio

[@JohnPaulBuce]

❤

[@audiotrackerzflp]

man did a perfect remake that make his remake copyrighted xd

[@K2._.Template.]

это даже лучше чем оригинал

[@joeyfeniello]

ily xhris

[@kaibuchan]

this is insane. nice work

[@richyleal]

Estás loco eres un genio como Sonny, estoy sorprendido siempre quise aprender Sound design soy muy creativo y con ese conocimiento podría proponer algo distinto , bless 🙏🏽

[@emiliocko17yt56]

😦🔥

[@DeepnarayanBiswas]

you just fuckin nailed it bro..

[@WillyJunior]

Bro, where exactly did you learn your sound design skills?

[@FOX235x]

Esos growls se parecen a los del viejo zomboy, buen video

[@Tenzalt]

no way

[@HayterwaveMedia]

will you ever sell these files? i want to disect them for learning purposes.

[@ExtraXhris]

I have thought about it but idk if artists appreciate selling remade project files also if I did I wouldn’t include ripped parts like the vocals, etc . But at least I’ll be doing breakdown videos and sound design videos , I know these tracks are pretty old now so it’s cool to see the sound design and stuff and keep this era alive a little

[@HayterwaveMedia]

@ExtraXhris a breakdown video would be great! I'd absolutely watch that. At this point you've already proven that your a legend at recreating music. I'm sure those videos would get Hella traction and engagement

[@Erazoth]

any Pendulum track in the making by any chance ? :)

[@unrealog]

That juicy bass🤤🤤🤤

[@brokenbonesdubstep]

good job

[@reflekta_music]

Idk if it was intentional to have 'First of the year" as your video as the first one of the year, or just a coincidence 😂😂

[@Marco-uo9ww]

Impressive dude

[@gospodinzalupkin]

another time it is very accurate so youtube give you copyright)

[@silkproduction]

just great

[@musicbymertcan]

this guy is fuckin legend!

[@martinzokov]

Dude, that's some awesome sound design work! How did you learn to reproduce sounds like that? I tried reproducing Infraliminal by Rezz x deadmau5 and my synths sounded nothing like the original :D

[@mahisound]

GOATTT

[@precursor4263]

More like GOA-OTT

[@ASHESFALLTHROUGH]

Nice! What is the single macro controlling in massive?

[@andrewistall]

This is dope!

[@mntrl]

cleannn

[@treeemellboy]

brilliant

[@svgmane_music]

Fuckkk this is amazing 🤤🔥🔥😳

[@user-th6rh8zp3t]

this is so impressive but whyyyyy

[@snipeshotgames]

have you seen @zoftle s remake of this song? honestly i rate this one 7.5/10. some growls could better match the song. nice job tho

[@1wrayth]

cool as fuck

[@bleeveofficial575]

Xhris the goat

[@Lidson]

Incrivel!!!!

[@crazyshock916]

I would love if you remaster the unrealased track of skrillex spitfire if you haven't done that already.

[@MJJRICH]

Damm i want to play this at my DJ settttt 🥲🥲🥲🥲

[@lestart5091]

Это точно не оригинальный трек? Шучу. Очень круто получилось. Жду ремейк суперсоника

[@ohnyjah]

selo shavozo

[@ttm8410]

Я считаю это лучший трек Сони Мура

[@nixlad]

bro your cpu

[@precursor4263]

Nice work, the bass design is good. But OTT isn't the answer to everything 😅 also you can change the bands you know that right 😬

[@ExtraXhris]

With this era of skrillex OTT was definitely the answer to everything haha
