Skrillex & Space Laces - Recovery (FUS) Edit

Hey r/skrillex,

First off, let me say I've been a long-time fan of Skrillex and an avid lurker of this subreddit for quite some time. Skrillex was kind of the first artist that got me into making music, which I did for like 7+ years before I stopped writing back in 2020.

Anyways, I've been a big fan of the song RECOVERY lately. I still have a little bit of hope we'll get an official full-length release, but in the meantime I came up with this.

I always thought the FUS edit had a harder drop than the demo version, and quite frankly, I was never really a fan of how the demo version just cuts off midway in the second drop. I understand why producers do this (because it cuts down time significantly), but as a fan, I want something I can listen to.

Now I've come across a couple of longer edits that use the FUS version and the demo version and marry them together, but since both songs are in different keys and FUS has THINGS I PROMISED and watermarks in there, it never sounded good to me.

So the other day, I had the idea to do my own edit of the FUS version using the demo stems. I took the demo song, put it into an online stem splitter, then I went into Ableton and painstakingly recreated the first half of the FUS edit (before the second 1,2,3 vocal sample) for the second drop. Now it's obviously not complete, but this is about as close as I could get since so many of the sounds in the second half of the FUS drop aren't available in the demo version.

The noticeable differences between the FUS edit and my edit are that I left out the pitch-shifts Skrillex added in there, I took out THINGS I PROMISED entirely, and I turned the kicks (that sit right before the second 1,2,3 vocal sample when the song goes "I wanna hear you bring that beat back) from quarter notes into eighth notes since I thought it could be used in a DJ set to bring in another song. It's not perfect, but it's a pretty damn close recreation of the FUS edit.

Anyways, I hope you guys like it. Would love to hear what you guys think :)

Hazard Pay Out 8/14

Came across someone’s comment on YouTube saying this release date. Had to verify it, but looks legit.

Now can we also get an EP with some of the Vaultage 004 tracks and a full release of Recovery?

Rate My Watch Collection (As a 1st Year Watch Collector, But Long Time Admirer)

For context, I've been a fan of watches for a while, but didn't pull the trigger on buying watches until last August.

This is my current lineup, with a few other pieces (not pictured) sitting in my collection. My goal was to create something that felt both personal and unique to me (in both colorways and design). Also, I wanted watches with versatility that I could wear with any outfit or any occasion in my wardrobe, since that's very important to me.

From Left to Right (Or Top/Down)

  1. Hamilton Heritage Piece (1949) - This is actually my grandfather's watch. It's 10k gold with a manual wind. I've been meaning to take it in for inspection before wearing it more often, but it's a very special piece to me. Consider it my something old and my something gold.

  2. Rolex Datejust Ref. 1601 (60's/70's) - As close to a grail watch as I have in my collection. I really love the look at versatility of this watch. Very happy to own this watch. It's one of my two daily drivers.

  3. Mr. Eatwell GMT Challenger - I haven't been a fan of GMT's. I think they're a bit too bulky on my wrist, but when I saw Mr. Eatwell, I knew I had to pick one up. His watches have such a unique look. Even though this is clearly inspired by the Pepsi Meteorite, what makes this watch cool is that both the dial and bezel have a sparkly look. Plus, I love the idea of supporting an independent watchmaker, and I will definitely buy another piece from him soon!

  4. Brew Watches Cobalt Retrograph - Needed a chronograph in the collection. I saw this and it immediately stood out to me as a piece I could wear with both a suit and jeans.

  5. Hamilton Khaki Field - Last but not least, I needed a military-style watch. So I got this one second-hand after doing a bit of research on these watches. Bought a new band for it too, so that way it stood out on its own and didn't have another jubilee or oyster style bracelet.
