The email arrived quietly, with a subject line so nondescript it could have easily been mistaken for a routine work message: “Mix test.”\u00a0No announcement, no cryptic social media tease, just an unassuming note from Skrillex<\/a> himself.<\/p>\n

“Good Monday from my mixing room in Los Angeles,” the body of today’s email reads. “Hope you are keeping well.”<\/p>\n

Fans who opened the attachment expecting further pleasantries were instead met with something far more explosive: a preview of his unreleased track,\u00a0“Scut.” A\u00a0primal, unfiltered slab of vintage\u00a0Skrillex dubstep, the track is a reminder of the sound that made him the face of a movement.<\/p>\n

The track is a hyper-mechanical behemoth where guttural dubstep growls, barking vocals and bullet shell casing samples battle for dominance, amplifying its unhinged ethos. This is Skrillex tapping into his roots, evoking the reckless energy of his early 2010s era\u2014but with a decade\u2019s worth of sharpened instincts behind it.<\/p>\n

Skrillex has not confirmed an official release at the time of this writing. There’s also no streaming link\u2014just an artist, his music and a direct line to his fans.<\/p>\n

“I\u2019ve got control of my website\/email address now, so I can start sending stuff any time I want,”\u00a0he recently wrote<\/a> on X.<\/p>\n

What comes next remains a mystery, but if this moment serves as any guide, it\u2019s that Skrillex is moving on his own terms. You can listen to the unreleased audio of “Scut” in the clip below.<\/p>\n
