The Most Credible Source Yet Confirms Skrillex Is Releasing Game -Changing New Music Soon

One of the most followed storylines in all of 2018 has been the return of Skrillex to dance music. After a year of the legendary producer working with artists in other genres, it is clear that new original content is on its way. The burning question that remains – is when? Today one of the most credible sources about all things Skrillex has confirmed that new music is on the way in the coming weeks.

Brownies and Lemonade is an event production company which has had a meteoric rise to glory. Starting with parties in LA and expanding to hosting stages at both Coachella, Ultra, and international endeavors, B&L is a powerhouse in the industry. They have worked with Skrillex on multiple occasions and have their finger on the pulse of the OWSLA label boss.

Today B&L dropped a little hype-up tweet stating that new music is in fact on the horizon, and furthermore, it is absolutely going to be changing the game. So there you have it Skrillex fans – get ready for some new music (most likely releasing in October).

The Comeback Kept Building

Hype tweets like this one turned out to be part of a much bigger pattern for Skrillex during this stretch. Rather than one single game-changing drop, his return to dance music played out gradually over the following months and years, new collaborations, surprise sets, and a steady trickle of original material that slowly rebuilt his solo discography after years spent largely producing for other artists.

Brownies & Lemonade’s read on the situation wasn’t wrong either, Skrillex’s comeback really did end up reshaping conversations about what a “return” from a scene legend could look like, leaning on unpredictability and constant collaboration rather than a traditional album rollout. For a guy who helped define an entire era of dance music, keeping fans guessing turned out to be exactly the right move.

B&L’s close relationship with Skrillex throughout this stretch also says something about how important boutique event promoters had become to major artists by this point, offering a more intimate, culture-forward alternative to giant festival stages where new music could get tested out in front of a genuinely dedicated crowd first.
