Skrillex Treats Fans To Brand New Music

One week after sending out ‘Bibis Tower’ to all fans who subscribed to his mail list, Skrillex sent out another surprise track today. Titled ‘Scut,’ the song is one of the artist’s most anticipated IDs, having been played for the first time at Lost Lands 2023 by Infekt. Featuring a riddim sound, ‘Scut’ focuses on taking fans through an instrumental journey, rather than a lyrical experience.

After reinventing his style and releasing various genres of music since his comeback, Skrillex‘s new song has a feeling of nostalgia and can remind listeners of the classics that raised him to fame. The free release of ‘Scut’ can also be considered a gift to his supporters as Skrillex‘s second studio album, ‘Quest For Fire’ turned two years old today.

Teasing all this new music in people’s inboxes through a post on social media four weeks ago, Skrillex fans are now wondering if this could be a sign of a new album coming soon. The American DJ is set to be performing at Ultra Music Festival in March, making his return after ten years. His set is one of the most awaited, and it could be a great opportunity for Sonny to drop some fresh music on one of the world’s biggest stage.

Besides this, in November 2024, Skrillex announced on X that his partnership with Atlantic Records will come to an end with his next official project, becoming an independent artists from that moment onwards. The DJ and producer expressed his excitement about this new ‘independent’ beginning through a post on social media platform X:

“Now I’m able to rethink / relook at how structures are designed. I want to find ways to simplify decimating music and art.” Finally, the artist also spoke about how strange the term “independent” is in the music industry and how he will still depend on his team to put together what he does.

Only time will tell what’s to come next for Skrillex, but it seems like things are moving in the right direction for him and new exciting stuff is on the way from the EDM legend.
