Drum and bass star Skellytn is powerful, from her list of records to her extensive discography. She’s the first female producer to release a North American drum and bass album (Neurocomputer with Play Me Records) and the first woman to release with the neuro (a D&B dark subgenre) label Eat Brain. Now, she’s back and better than ever with a new single, “Control,” featuring Honey-B-Sweet. The track was released on June 30 on Bassrush Records.
The Los Angeles-based producer has been dominating the drum and bass scene, and this song makes clear why. “Control” is rich in cyberpunk and industrial influences, making for a heavy hit. Its intensity is explosive, and “Control” is made complete by its insane synths and neuro sound — nobody does it quite like Skellytn. The single is made even stronger with fast-rising Australian rapper, Honey-B-Sweet, matching the drum and bass genre with her own hip-hop influence.
I’m like the cyberpunk, I got the power
Oh you think you’re slick, you get devoured
Better have my money because I’m not playing ‘round
If you don’t, then let’s throw it down
~ “Control”
The song radiates confidence and all-consuming power, demanding the utmost attention from anyone who comes near. Skellytn said “Control” fits into an overarching narrative with a universe across her work.
The Skellytn Corporation handpicks a team of highly skilled and deadly female soldiers to undergo intense training and rigorous physical conditioning to prepare them for the ultimate battle for “Control” of the galaxy.
