Skilah, the 23-year-old producer, brings a heavier, more imposing intensity to her latest electronic release, amplifying dark club basslines into pure dubstep-adjacent rave energy ahead of a busy North American festival run.
Building directly on the raw physical energy of her live sets, Los Angeles-based producer and DJ Skilah delivers an unfiltered burst of dancefloor attack with her single “GOMF but louder.” Released as an even more unapologetic second iteration of the earlier track “GOMF,” this version moves past the initial Euro-techno flare to deliver a much more energetic, irreverent, and downright imposing vibe.
The 23-year-old Minnesota native aligns the production even closer with her true attitude and spirit, using distorted, whirring wubs and dubs that lean heavily into dubstep territory while putting her commanding vocals front and center to push listeners out of her personal space and onto the dancefloor.
Where the original “GOMF” took its time building through tech-house grooves, “GOMF but louder” maintains a relentless intensity across its entire duration, hitting as a massive festival highlight that drops the low end back in like a total bomb. While this second version easily stands on its own as a definitive statement of her sound, jamming both tracks back-to-back creates a superb experience that highlights the full spectrum of her production style.
Having amassed a global audience of over three million combined followers across TikTok, Instagram, and Snapchat, she continues to prove that her online popularity is fully backed by her live presence and mastery over the console. Her touring schedule has expanded rapidly across North America, taking her from major stages at Coachella, Breakaway Music Festival, and EDC Las Vegas to high-energy appearances at Foam Wonderland in Denver, Ubbi Dubbi in Fort Worth, and SUNSATION Festival in D.C.
Pairing her signature dark production style with original vocals and unpredictable drop transitions, “GOMF but louder” confirms Skilah’s rising status within the next wave of electronic music producers.
