Diplo and Skrillex Ring in 2016 With New Jack Ü Mix [LISTEN]

Jack Ü, the electronic dance production superduo consisting of Diplo and Skrillex, dropped an exclusive Guest Room mix for SiriusXM to ring in the New Year.

Weaving in remixes of songs from the artists such as Adele and Justin Bieber and featuring cuts from Gesaffelstein, Kill the Noise, Tchami, Jauz, AlunaGeorge, Valentino Khan and Jauz -- and tying everything together with tons of their own material -- Jack Ü serves up the perfect nightcap to 2015 and offers a healthy dose of hype for what the duo has in store for 2016.

Clocking in at just under 60 minutes, the mix goes hard without any lulls. It perfectly demonstrates the ways in which the duo have successfully pushed the boundaries of EDM into pop while remaining consistently bass-heavy and festival-ready. You can stream the entire mix below.

In addition to all the OWSLA and Mad Decent features and top tracks from 2015 sprinkled throughout the mix, a few surprises, including Eifle 65's "Blue (Da Ba Dee)," are thrown in. You can check out the full tracklist here, via Your EDM.

As This Song Is Sick reports, the duo also drops an unknown ID in the mix around the 11:33 mark. The new trap banger is mashed up with "Get Low" by Lil Jon featuring the Ying Yang Twins. While it very well could be a new cut from either producer or any of the artists with whom they've been working, one can only hope the unidentified track is the duo's way of teasing new Jack Ü material.

Diplo and Skrillex have hinted that fans can expect a new Jack Ü album this year. While making their way down the red carpet at the American Music Awards back in November, the duo said the new album should be due out in early 2016.

To add to the anticipation, last week Diplo shared an end-of-year post praising Skrillex. He ends that post promising fans to go even harder in 2016: "Hopefully we finish a new album that is gonna break through even further."

It was a big year for both of us but really no one inspires me more than Skrillex. You might know him as the DJ god...
