Skinny Limbs Turns Up w/ New Track “That’s 3”

by | Feb 24, 2023 | PREMIERE

There are numerous tracks circulating that are almost guaranteed to be rinsed out by artists far and wide. Creating the perfect dancefloor banger can be challenging, but does not seem to be a problem for up-and-coming bass wizard Skinny Limbs. Hailing from Denver, CO, Skinny Limbs has made a name for himself producing a wide range of tracks that have caught the scene by absolute storm. His latest release, “That’s 3”, which we have the pleasure of premiering for you all today, is nothing short of an banger. With two perfectly timed drops sure to get listeners on their feet, “That’s 3” has a catchy sound design like no other. There is no doubt that this one will be joining some of the iconic festival bangers we hear throughout the season. Let’s take a deeper dive into why we are calling “That’s 3”, a certified bop.

“That’s 3” is an etheric journey into the higher vibrational energy that lives inside of us all. The first drop represents the lower chakras and the importance of doing the work that makes us feel grounded and safe. The second drop represents the higher chakras and the light, playful energy that comes once liberated from your own limitations. Overall, “That’s 3” is a reminder of the divinity that we can experience each day, while also having fun and not being too hard on ourselves.”

Diving Deep w/ Skinny Limbs

1. How did you decide to get into music? Was there a certain event in your childhood/life that made you stop and realize that you wanted to pursue a career in music?

When I was about 13 years old, I remember discovering the sounds of future bass, trap, and dubstep on SoundCloud. I was captivated by this new futuristic sound that I was hearing. I had never heard anything like it and it completely changed my perception of what music could be. I desperately wanted to learn how to make those sounds. I remember writing a bucket list a year later when I was 14. One of the goals on that list was “make a dubstep song”. I got my first DJ board as a birthday present and I bought fl studio the following year. I started teaching myself how to make simple hip-hop beats as I knew absolutely nothing about sound design. My friends would come over and I’d record their vocals in my tiny closet that was covered in sound foam. This was the begging of the Skinny Limbs project. Eventually, I realized that hip-hop beats were fun, but it wasn’t the reason that I started producing in the first place. I wanted to make EDM. I bought Ableton and started to focus on electronic elements. They day I moved from New Jersey to Colorado was the day I released my first electronic project. “Glass splinters and sunburn”  was a 12 track album full of soothing electronic elements. It’s what I could create at the time in 2018 and I was really happy with it. Since then my production techniques have grown exponentially, and here we are now.

2. It can be very hard sometimes to separate music from day to day life when it’s a huge part of your life. How do you personally separate your artist life from your everyday life, and have you faced any challenges doing so?
Over the years, I’ve definitely faced some challenges separating my music from my day to day life. Especially in the early years when I was just starting out. I would quantify my self worth with how well my music was doing, which wasn’t very well. I’d maybe get 50 plays on a song if I was lucky. This was really detrimental to my mental health. I’d constantly think I wasn’t good enough and maybe I should just quit. Looking back now, I really needed those experiences. Those experiences pushed me to become a better producer and a stronger person. Now, I realize that I am not my music. I am so much more than that. My music Is simply an expression of where I’m at in this period of my life. I’ve learned to detach myself from my music and I simply just trust that I’m always on the right path, no matter what. I don’t put nearly as much pressure on myself like I used to and with that I’ve been creating some of the best music I’ve ever made.

3. As an artist, you can experience a number of road blocks along the way to achieving your goals. What motivates you to continue to be creative and make music even when times get tough?

Really it just comes down to passion. I love producing, I love bass music, I love the community and I cherish all of the amazing experiences I’ve had simply through music. When times get tough, I know it’s necessary. I know that there’s some sort of lesson that I need to learn in order to keep progressing. When I’m feeling down, one of the best things I can do for my mind is to sit down and do something creative. I take that energy and put it into my art. One thing that motivates me is to look back and see how far I’ve come and to be thankful for where I’m at now. 

4. What’s next for your project? What plans do you have in the near future that you hope to accomplish as “Skinny Limbs“?

I think 2023 into 2024 is going to be a huge year of growth for the project. Getting signed to one of my favorite labels is definitely a huge goal of mine. As time passes, it’s beginning to look more and more like that goal is going to be achieved. I now have a small team of really amazing people that have been helping me with the more professional side of the music world. They’ve been helping me with bookings, press releases, media coverage, artist press kits… etcetera. Pretty much all the things that have been unfamiliar to me being an independent artist for the last 9 years. I have hopes of releasing with some major labels this year that we all know and love. I have hopes to play more shows across the US and get my sounds into the festival world. I’m focusing on legitimacy this year and doing things the right way. I’m really looking forward to this next phase of the project.
