Skrillex and Nero’s “Promises” is one of our favorite dance records of all time. While we’ve heard multiple remixes come forth over the years trying to stack up to the original, nothing has quite done the track justice, until now. The original track was released on August 7, 2011. Since then, “Promises” has been a staple in both Skrillex and Nero’s sets and has been played at countless festivals across the globe.
Nearly seven years later, Austin producer Prismo just unleashed an incredibly heavy flip of the song and it’s dope, to say the least. The twenty-year-old, producer injects his characteristic teeth grinding verve into the song, overlaying a frantic siren over whomping bass lines. The track serves as a glimpse into dubstep’s past, while also reinventing its structure with a contemporary stamp.
