Fuck U Skrillex You Think Ur Andy Warhol but Ur Not!! (2025)

Fuck U Skrillex You Think Ur Andy Warhol but Ur Not!! <3 (stylized in all caps, and more commonly shortened to Fuck U Skrillex or FUS) is the fourth studio album by American record producer Skrillex. It was released on April 1, 2025, through Atlantic Records and Owsla as a surprise album. Unlike his previous three albums, it is presented as a continuous mix hosted by producer DJ Smokey. Stylistically, the album has been described as a return to Skrillex's dubstep roots, featuring several previously unreleased tracks dating back to 2010.

The album features appearances from a wide variety of collaborators, including Boys Noize, Dylan Brady, Varg2TM, Whitearmor, Starrah, Zacari, Virtual Riot and Parisi. Production was primarily handled by Skrillex himself, alongside Fred Again, Varg2TM, Whitearmor, and Eurohead, among others. Fuck U Skrillex follows his pair of 2023 albums, Quest for Fire and Don't Get Too Close. The album received a nomination for Best Dance/Electronic Album at the 68th Grammy Awards.

Release

Fuck U Skrillex received no previous promotion, and was released as a surprise album. On March 31, 2025, one night before release, the full mixtape was shared by Skrillex via a Dropbox link sent to his email subscriber list. The album was released to streaming services on April 1, 2025. The cover photograph was taken near the NestHQ media company building in Los Angeles, California and features a first generation Mazda Miata.

Several months prior up to the album's release, Skrillex made public comments on his Twitter/X account about his frustration with Atlantic Records. Since his contract required four albums, this album is to be Skrillex's final project with Atlantic, which has been affiliated with every Skrillex release since his debut single "Weekends!!!" (2010).

According to the review aggregator Metacritic, Fuck U Skrillex You Think Ur Andy Warhol but Ur Not!! received "generally favorable reviews" based on a weighted average score of 74 out of 100 from 5 critic scores.

A positive review by Michaelangelo Matos for Rolling Stone noted the album's "playful edge" and attention to detail. Receiving the album positively, Vulture's Craig Jenkins praised the album's eclecticism, likening the album's mixtape format to Resident Advisor mixes and DJ Drama's Gangsta Grillz series.
