Every era has that one artist who jumps ahead of the curve, and right now, that artist is DJ SKILZ. Today, we premiere his newest single, “Infinite Content Glitch,” a razor-sharp, hyper-detailed track released September 17 that captures the tension, tempo, and thrill of our always-online world. It’s a record that sounds like the internet breathing heavily, glitching, and then figuring itself out again. And SKILZ stands at the center of that storm, turning digital static into something undeniably musical.
If you’ve spent any time on TikTok or Instagram this year, you’ve almost certainly seen SKILZ, also known as The Scratch Enforcer, real name Rocco, flipping number sequences into turntable magic. What started as a playful experiment has since launched a global trend. Viewers began sending in their own number combinations, challenging SKILZ to incorporate them into scratch routines. One of those videos skyrocketed to 18 million views, effectively giving birth to a niche art form that merges rhythm, mathematics, and crowd participation. “I didn’t expect it to take off the way it did,” he admits. “But people connected with it instantly.”
Central to SKILZ’s evolution is a groundbreaking tool: the world’s first one-sided visual 12-inch scratch/juggle vinyl, created with Chris Karns and Mile High DJ Supply. Instead of the grooves hiding sound, this record displays the audio visually as it moves beneath the needle. It’s half instrument, half graphic experience, and it shapes the entire sonic DNA of “Infinite Content Glitch.” The record lets SKILZ see every nuance of his performance, which results in scratches that feel kinetic and hyper-precise.
The track itself is a whirlwind. Metallic shards of rhythm slice through bursts of distorted percussion, while SKILZ’s signature scratch language bends, mutates, and unfolds like a math equation coming alive. There’s tension, but also clarity, moments when the noise pulls back just long enough to reveal the heartbeat underneath. SKILZ isn’t just scratching here; he’s orchestrating a collapse-and-rebuild cycle that mirrors how we process the world in fragments. “There’s beauty in the glitch,” he says. “All that broken data, we live in it every day. I just wanted to give it a pulse.”
What makes this premiere so exciting is how fully SKILZ has embraced the world he helped shape. With “Infinite Content Glitch,” he doesn’t just lean into experimentation, he commits to it. The track stands as proof that turntablism is still evolving, still capable of new forms, still capable of surprising anyone willing to push it forward. And SKILZ isn’t just part of that evolution. He’s leading it.
