Skrillex has announced his final album with Atlantic Records before transitioning to independence, marking a significant shift in his career trajectory.

In a recent social media announcement, the electronic music pioneer expressed his creative vision and readiness for change. "I've never felt more inspired and in sync with my artistic vision," Skrillex shared on X, formerly Twitter.

This announcement follows his successful 2023 double-album release, Quest for Fire and Don't Get Too Close, which showcased his genre-bending abilities. His recent collaboration with Four Tet, "Talk to Me," continues to dominate electronic music playlists.

Explaining his decision to leave Atlantic Records, Skrillex highlighted the challenges within the music industry: "The industry is like politics, it's designed to be almost impossible to understand. I've seen so many artists get caught up in the illusion and delusion of the business."

Looking ahead to 2025, Skrillex plans to release new independent music, promising continued innovation and creative freedom. While the release date for his final Atlantic Records album remains unannounced, fans can expect the same boundary-pushing sound that earned him multiple Grammy Awards with tracks like "Scary Monsters and Nice Sprites."

His journey from post-hardcore band From First to Last to electronic music pioneer demonstrates his artistic versatility. As he moves into independence, Skrillex emphasizes that this transition will allow for more unrestricted collaboration and creative expression.

Fans can currently experience his evolving sound through "Talk to Me," which showcases his signature blend of ethereal vocals and bass-heavy production, offering a glimpse into his future musical direction.
