# Skrillex, Tohji and Mechatok Release New Song W1000

*By Derek Oswald · November 14, 2026*

**[Skrillex](https://skrillex.com)** has joined Tokyo rapper Tohji and electronic producer Mechatok on “W1000,” a collaborative single released November 13 through OWSLA and Atlantic Records. The song brings together three artists whose recent work has connected experimental club music, melodic electronic production and rap.

According to the label's announcement, “W1000” is intended to be Tohji's final release ahead of his last scheduled live performance. That concert, billed as Tohji Last Live Tokyo MALL, is set for November 17 at Tokyo Dome. The final-release description comes from the label; any broader claim that Tohji will never record again would require confirmation directly from the artist.

The song was already familiar to some Skrillex listeners before its official release. The producer had played an unidentified version during recent appearances in Japan and London, where fans encountered it as an unreleased track. The new studio release puts a name and full artist credit to music that previously circulated through those live sets.

The collaboration also has roots in earlier performances and recordings. Tohji appeared with Skrillex at Kobe World Memorial Hall in 2025, where the pair introduced unreleased collaborative material. Tohji and Mechatok, meanwhile, have worked together on several prior tracks, giving “W1000” an existing creative connection beyond its three-name billing.

Their earlier collaborations include “ULTRA RARE” and “WATER WAY,” both associated with Tohji's 2022 project *T-Mix*. Another track, “200,” appeared on Mechatok's 2025 debut album *Wide Awake*. Those recordings provide context for the relationship between the Tokyo artist and the Berlin-based producer.

All three were also represented at CONTRA 2026, a Berlin electronic music event launched by Skrillex at Kraftwerk Berlin in May. Tohji and Mechatok shared the stage there, continuing a working relationship that spans club performance and recorded music.

Tohji has emerged from Tokyo's underground club and rave community with a sound that crosses rap, trance and hyperpop. Mechatok's releases similarly move between electronic pop and experimental dance music. Skrillex's involvement brings their collaboration to his OWSLA label and a wider international audience.

An official video accompanies “W1000.” The label scheduled its premiere for November 14 at 6 p.m. Japan Standard Time, so viewers should check the official upload for current availability. The single is available through digital music services.
