As an electronic music pioneer, Skrillex has announced his final album with Atlantic Records before transitioning to independence. The acclaimed producer shared his decision through social media, expressing excitement about his artistic future.

Following his successful 2023 double-album release (Quest for Fire and Don't Get Too Close), this unnamed final project represents the culmination of his major label journey. His recent collaboration with Four Tet, "Talk to Me," continues to dominate electronic music playlists.

Addressing his departure from Atlantic Records, Skrillex explained on X: "The music 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."

The decision stems from his desire for creative freedom and the ability to collaborate without label constraints. Looking ahead to 2025, Skrillex has teased numerous independent releases, though the release date for his final Atlantic Records album remains unannounced.

Skrillex's impact on electronic music began with "Scary Monsters and Nice Sprites," which earned multiple Grammy Awards. His evolution from post-hardcore band From First to Last frontman to electronic music innovator showcases his versatility as an artist.

As he embarks on this independent journey, Skrillex emphasizes that independence doesn't mean isolation but rather the freedom to create on his own terms. His recent work, including "Talk to Me," demonstrates his continued commitment to pushing musical boundaries while maintaining his signature sound.

The producer remains focused on innovation and artistic growth, assuring fans that his transition to independence will lead to even more groundbreaking music in the future.
