Listen: Skrillex Quietly Drops Long-Awaited Dubstep Track, "Scut" in Fans' Email Inboxes

Tuesday, 18 February 2025 09:57

Skrillex is previewing more music for fans via email, and his latest communication includes an unreleased track that roars with the raw dubstep energy of his early career.

The email arrived quietly, with a subject line so nondescript it could have easily been mistaken for a routine work message: "Mix test." No announcement, no cryptic social media tease, just an unassuming note from Skrillex himself.

"Good Monday from my mixing room in Los Angeles," the body of today's email reads. "Hope you are keeping well."

Fans who opened the attachment expecting further pleasantries were instead met with something far more explosive: a preview of his unreleased track, "Scut." A primal, unfiltered slab of vintage Skrillex dubstep, the track is a reminder of the sound that made him the face of a movement.

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—but with a decade’s worth of sharpened instincts behind it.

Skrillex has not confirmed an official release at the time of this writing. There's also no streaming link—just an artist, his music and a direct line to his fans.

"I’ve got control of my website/email address now, so I can start sending stuff any time I want," he recently wrote on X.

What comes next remains a mystery, but if this moment serves as any guide, it’s that Skrillex is moving on his own terms. You can listen to the unreleased audio of "Scut" in the clip below.
