Yoko and Skinny Limbs Debut Their Collaboration Effort 'critical h!t'

Yoko and Skinny Limbs released their first project as ‘critical h!t’ this week, and it’s clear why the duo needed an official side project.

Denver-based producers Yoko and Skinny Limbs have proven that like-minded friends make excellent artistic duos, and they’re here to introduce the bass music world to critical h!t. The pair are no strangers to collaborating in the past, and they released their first EP together just last spring. The sonics proved that this project would be just the start of plenty more to come from the duo.

Fast forward to 2024, and Yoko and Skinny Limbs have just debuted their collaborative efforts in an entire side project dubbed critical h!t. The Yikes EP has officially landed via the pair’s Denver-based home imprint Hemi.Wav today and features four new experimental bass tracks that beg to be played out on a sound system. Electric Hawk premiered the project’s opener and title track earlier this week, and it’s the perfect wobbly bass beat to kickstart the EP in style.

Experimental soundscapes and deep distortions reign supreme in critical h!t’s world, and the two show off their respective ears for this style in every beat they’ve created on Yikes. Alien-esque samples add an otherworldly and lighthearted vibe to the project, like the silly vocal additions on “Unreal” and “The Key.” Things get a little more eerie but with no shortage of the experimental weirdness bass music fans crave on the closing track, “Curve Dat.” whose bassline lurks along with seducing head-nodding wobbles.

Yikes is out everywhere now, so be sure to head to Spotify or your preferred platform to stream this hot new collaboration project for yourself.
