The guidelines for success in the music industry that have governed for years are gone. Niche record labels and individual artists are harnessing the power of the web and entrepreneurial spirit to do things their own way. Skrillex just released ‘The Leaving’ a free EP through The NEST his membership site for exclusive OWSLA tunes. It may seem unusual, but the 23 year-old dubstep king is one of the most polarizing figures in music today and an entrepreneur embracing change.
Here’s the message Skrillex posted for fans.
“hello everybody
first of all, i want to thank you so much for supporting the Nest. this is not about changing the music industry now, it’s about supporting great and forward thinking tools like drip.fm to connect us on a more personal level. the fact that we have a direct way to give you guys content without any of the red tape that the normal distribution mediums have makes it really easy fun for us and gives us a new platform to be creative and spontaneous. we hope you know that we put a great effort into providing awesome stuff straight to you.
Here are some songs that i put together for an ep that came together last minute. scary bolly dub is a song I’ve been playing in my sets for a while. I use it more as a dj tool, but I wanted you guys to have it.
The reason and Leaving came together last minute. I made Leaving in my hotel room in mexico and just finished the Reason an hour ago in my hotel room in miami. I guess it’s just kind of a reflection of how I’m feeling right now. Hope you guys enjoy these quality wavs.
sincerely,
sonny moore”
