Dubstep pioneer and one of electronic music's biggest icons, Skrillex has announced a major change in his career on social media. His next album will be the last one released under the Atlantic Records label, where he worked for many years. After that, he plans to continue as an independent artist.
Farewell to Atlantic Records
During his collaboration with Atlantic Records, Skrillex released some of his most significant projects, such as the breakthrough "Scary Monsters and Nice Sprites" or last year's double albums "Quest for Fire" and "Don't Get Too Close" . These partnerships have shaped modern electronic music, but now he's decided to take a new path.
On the X platform (formerly Twitter), Skrillex shared his thoughts on the future and the reasons behind this move. "I have never felt more inspired and in tune with my artistic intentions," he wrote. "I am finishing my next work, which will also be my last project under Atlantic Records. But at the same time, this step forces me to think about existence."
Independence as a new beginning
Skrillex also revealed that his new phase as an independent artist will begin in 2025 . Although the label "independent" may evoke the idea that he will do everything himself, he emphasized that he still relies on a team of creative people to support him in his visions. "Independent is a strange term because I still depend on my team and other talented people to support me in what I do," he added.
For fans, it's a sign that Skrillex is about to cross another milestone in his career, and expectations are high for his latest project under Atlantic Records.
What can we expect next?
While the details of the upcoming album are still shrouded in mystery, Skrillex's announcement has generated considerable excitement among fans and music professionals alike. The new era of Skrillex promises greater artistic freedom and further experimentation that could push the boundaries of electronic music.
There is no doubt that this move opens the door to new possibilities and raises the question of what direction his work will take. Whatever lies ahead, Skrillex's music has the potential to redefine the genre and inspire generations of producers.
