Skrillex has not released any new music for almost a decade, and now that he's back expectations are high, especially since he had so much time to curate the perfect comeback album.

"My new album QUEST FOR FIRE out 2/17. You can hear tracks from QFF in my basement set live on YouTube now," the Dj-slash-producer shared on his Instagram.

The album includes a 13-song track list: "Rumble" featuring Fred Again &Flowdan x Hamdi - Skanaka; "Xena" with Nai Barghouti; "Inhale Exhale" with Aluna; "A Street I know" featuring Eli Keszler; "Tears" featuring Joker & Sleepnet; "Warped Tour '05" with Pete Wentz;

"Good Space" featuring Starrah; "Too Bizarre (juked)" with Swae Lee, Siiickbrain & Posij x Constantine & Squadooble - Bust Down, "Supersonic (My Existence) VIP" featuring Noisia, Josh Pan & Dylan Brady; ​​"Leave Me Like This" featuring Bobby Raps x BABY AGAIN feat. Four Tet & Fred Again; "Butterflies" with Starrah & Four Tet; "Ratata" feat. Missy Elliott & Mr. Oizo; and "Still Here (With the Ones That I Came With)" featuring Porter Robinson & Bibi Bourelly.

The EDM DJ gave fans a taste of what was to come with the release of "Rumble," and it was their first glimpse of the new Skrillex.

Skrillex is Back

Skrillex, born Sonny John Moore, hails from Los Angeles, California. He had a rocky childhood and leaned on music as a teenager.

He is best known for doing collaborations with other artists, like Justin Bieber, Diplo, J Balvin, and more.

Despite not having a lot of music, fans agree that Skrillex is more of a quality-over-quantity type of guy.

Prior to "Quest for Love," he released his debut studio album "Recess" in 2014.

Fans are ecstatic to have him back in the music scene, and given that when he was active, he had a myriad of accolades and awards to prove just how good he was in his craft, many are expecting that the upcoming album will be a banger.

Skrillex never really addressed why he took a nine-year hiatus from making music, but back when he was, he was considered as one of the bests.

He boasts eight Grammy Awards over the years, including Best Dance Recording for "Scary Monsters and Nice Sprites," Best Dance/Electronica Album for "Scary Monsters and Nice Sprites", and Best Remixed Recording for "Cinema."

"Bangarang" won best dance recording and best dance/electronica album at the 2013 Grammys, while "Promises" won best-remixed recording, "Where Are U Now" won Best Dance Recording, and he also won best dance/electronic album in 2016.
