SKRILLEX RELEASES SURPRISE NEW SINGLE WITH MORE MUSIC ON THE WAY
Last Friday, industry tastemaker Sonny Moore aka Skrillex, uploaded a surprise single to his Soundcloud titled “Kliptown Empyrean”. The track marks the first solo release from Skrillex in over a year, although he has worked on a number of collaborations in that time. “Kliptown Empyrean” serves as a placeholder to tie fans over while he finishes a “main body of work”. The prolific producer tweeted a cryptic late-night message to reveal the new single and forthcoming album.
Still finishing this main body of work but in the mean time I just made this today and wanted to put it out? https://t.co/OX0jTyIFi6
