Some records take months. This one took an afternoon. MPH and Skrillex built “Mirage” in a single session with no plan attached to it, and the track landed August 14, 2026 through DisOrder/Capitol Records.
It runs on Red Rat‘s early 2000s Jamaican dancefloor staple “ShellyAnn”, chopped down into skittering percussion and vocal snatches that keep resurfacing in new shapes. It feels like a UK garage record that keeps finding another gear, bright, restless, and built for a room that has already lost the plot. MPH had been road testing it in sets since he teased it at EDC Las Vegas.
“Skrillex would do some bits and pass the laptop to me. I’d do some bits and, pretty soon, we’d married our sounds together.” – MPH
The touring end of this is where it gets serious. MPH takes it out on September 19, 2026 at Pumpehuset in Copenhagen, and the North American leg kicks off October 2, 2026 at REALM in Portland, Oregon. He wraps the run at Knockdown Center in New York City on November 28, 2026. Twenty one dates, a Gorgon City back to back in Salt Lake City, and a Peggy Gou back to back in Manchester.
