Skrillex's music video for "Fuck That" is one of those rare instances where the clip is actually better than the song. Directed by Nabil Elderkin, who's worked with Kanye West, Frank Ocean and Nicki Minaj in the past, the video follows a fighter fresh from prison who ends up participating in an underground brawl club. The Recess single provides background music to the five-minute film, which features love, grappling and tons of action.
According to MTV News, the video was shot in Morocco, and Skrillex is nowhere to be found. The electronic tune blends well with the short film, and it's a clever way to keep viewers around for the entire track. Check it out below.
Recess was released in March to a positive reception. It went to number four on the Billboard 200 charts and number one on Dance/Electronic Albums list.
"And many of the elements that drove Skrillex's initial success are still somewhere in the mix on Recess: the suffocating low end, the serrated edges, the industrial-strength aggression, the disorienting collisions of sound shards, the vocals distorted until they sound like alien transmissions," Rolling Stone wrote.
Skrillex has been in the headlines frequently, mostly with fellow EDM star, Diplo. The pair, who perform together as Jack U, released a two-hour mix of Diplo & Friends earlier this month. They will be ringing in the New Year at Madison Square Garden with what's bound to be an epic show.
The producer also hit up Howard Stern's SiriusXM show to cover everything from dating to Deadmau5. He adamantly defended his beloved genre as well.
