“As we celebrate 10 years of the Heisenberg label, I’d like to share with you five outstanding tracks from our history. Each of these tracks has played a significant role in shaping the label’s journey and legacy.” – Saktu 
Little Hado – Miscare
“The first track released on Heisenberg is an outstanding 10-minute minimal journey—a masterclass in how Romanian minimal house sounded a decade ago. This release holds a special place in our history, not only for its musical brilliance but also for the unique circumstances surrounding it.”
“An interesting fact: I promised Little Hado a gig in exchange for the release, and we planned the event for my birthday in October 2014 at the Heisenberg club. Unfortunately, the club was closed before the event could happen. Luckily, some friends were preparing to open a new warehouse club around the same time, and we decided to move the party there.”
“However, just 30 minutes before the party was set to start, the owners informed us the club wasn’t ready. By then, we knew around 1,000 people were planning to attend. In a frantic hour, we found a solution: a small venue with a capacity of just 100 people. By 1 a.m., the club was packed with over 300 people inside and hundreds more outside. The doors had to be shut, but the atmosphere was electric, creating one of the most unforgettable parties we’ve ever hosted.”
“This night marked a turning point—the closing of the Heisenberg club gave rise to the Heisenberg label, and the rest is history.”
2. Paul Yudin – Dubrawa

“This one is truly for the books—the third vinyl-only release on Heisenberg by the incredibly talented yet underrated Paul Yudin, aka Pavel Iudin. This record marked a special moment for the label and became a standout in our catalog.”
“It was released in August 2015 and in October same year I attended Amsterdam Dance Event (ADE). Over four whirlwind days & nights, I went to 3-4 parties each night. Everywhere I went, this record was being played. It was surreal, and it was the first time I realised we had a true hit on our hands—a global underground “hit.”
3. Adamov & Saktu – Unsa

“Unsa is undoubtedly the most well-known track on Heisenberg, with over 1,000 vinyl copies sold and countless more in digital sales. It’s a track that truly put the label on the map.”
“Originally, Alex and I started Unsa in my home studio, using the Yamaha DX-200 for the bassline. It initially felt a bit too house-oriented for Heisenberg’s sound, so I decided to show it around to other labels. Around that time, Prunk and Chris Stussy had just launched PIV. They loved the track and were keen to sign it.”
“However, after months of back-and-forth, we couldn’t align on timing or format. In the end, I decided to release it on Heisenberg—and I don’t regret that decision for a second. Unsa became a defining moment for the label, and it’s still a track I absolutely love playing, even after all these years.”
4. Monteki – Boss 303 (Silat Beksi Remix)

“If you ask me about the best remix ever released on Heisenberg, this is undoubtedly it. Ukrainian producer and close friend Silat Beksi delivered an absolutely incredible remix of Monteki’s Boss 303.”
“Silat’s rework elevated the original to another level, showcasing his signature blend of hypnotic rhythms and intricate textures. It’s a track that embodies the essence of our label: forward-thinking, deep, and unforgettable. This remix remains a standout in Heisenberg’s catalog and a testament to Silat’s extraordinary talent.”
5. Ogni – Flywing

“From time to time, Tobi Neumann and I release music under the alias OGNI, and this track is one of our latest creations on Heisenberg’s sub-label, Ogni Tapes. This musical journey is a true showcase of modular synthesis and analog sound at its finest.”
“I genuinely believe that we’ve crafted a timeless piece with this track—one that can be played and appreciated 10 or even 20 years from now. I’m incredibly proud of what Tobi and I accomplished here.”

Mr Gregory is truly closing the year in style.
As the year slowly waves goodbye, few things remain to be experienced before we change our calendars. And when we thought nothing could surprise us, here he comes again: Simon Gregory. The man who’s given us endless golden nuggets (and a couple golden bars) throughout these past months has just done it one last time before 2024 ends: with his first-ever solo Anjunabeats single, and one extra surprise.
The UK-based Trance producer has garnered acclaim for his releases on A-tier labels like Anjunabeats (of course), but also Enhanced, Mondo, and Elliptical Sun, among others. His collaboration with Nitrous Oxide, ‘Fusion’, took his sound to Above & Beyond’s legendary Anjunabeats Volume Series compilation, in particular the 16th entry. It also gave birth to Digital Drift, the sonic pairing of him and Nitrous Oxide.
All in all, this year was quite fruitful for Simon Gregory, even giving him the chance to put out an entire album’s worth of music under Digital Drift. ‘Ah Funk It‘ is Gregory’s latest belter, and it combines his characteristic groovy notes with chord progressions that are so reminiscent of Trance done right.
‘Ah Funk It’
This tune has a different approach to Progressive Trance, and I dig it because of it. It’s a bit more toned-down on the percussion side, giving room for the melodic elements to truly shine. In a world where over-the-top-percussion is quite a common resource to elevate mixes, it’s refreshing to see a track achieve the same power but with, say, a muffled clap/rim hybrid.
And the break is simply spectacular. To me, it’s the focal point of the entire piece, marked by an old-school-like Trance break, with broken beats and warm saw leads which come in and out of the picture, as if they simulated a soft tide. Continuing with the analogy, the subtle vocal line “Raindrops keep falling // Sunshine is coming” serves as the anchor to your boat; something to hold on to while the sea unravels.
ABGT Guest Mix
And you thought that was all? No sir. This week, the second to last one of the entire year, he’s not only wrapped things up with features on several major label compilations and huge announcements for NYD (Trance Sanctuary, London) and Luminosity 2025 (with two sets). In fact, he’ll be this week’s special guest in Above & Beyond’s iconic radioshow, Group Therapy.
Praised as one of every artist’s largest milestones, a slot on ABGT is a huge deal, for it not only allows for a connection to a great audience who trusts the artists in charge, it also shows the British trio trust you and your sonic quote. “Never been more excited for a guest mix, and the opportunity to share my style of music with the Anjunafamily is such a wonderful way to round off what has been an incredible year of highs!“, says Gregory.
We also asked him about what to expect of the guest mix, since he’ll be in charge of the last quarter of today’s 2-hour-long episode. “This guest mix covers a slight change in direction for me as an artist, looking to merge funky bass and house style elements to a trance style melodic break. I have been experimenting heavily with some new directions in my sound trying to grow as an artist and combine my usual melodic elements to a simple but punchy drop. Hopefully it pays off!“.
So now you know, tune in to today’s ABGT609 at 7 PM GMT (2 PM ET, 11 AM PT) to hear what Simon Gregory has in store for 2025, alongside the finest records of the past (and upcoming) days, presented by Above & Beyond’s very own Jono Grant.

Drumcode is closing out the year in style as Konstantin Sibold returns to the label with a powerful remix of Bart Skils‘ adored hit ‘Roll The Dice’. This release is a natural progression following Sibold‘s brilliant 2024 debut on Drumcode with the acclaimed ‘Lost In Space’ EP, which solidified his place as one of the year’s standout techno artists.
Bart Skils, a Drumcode mainstay, has enjoyed a monumental year of his own. His ‘Bart Skils Remixed’ package dropped earlier in the year to widespread praise, featuring remixes of ‘Something More’ by Joris Voorn and ‘Shadowprint’ by Dok & Martin. Sibold’s interpretation of ‘Roll The Dice’ now joins this lineage, injecting the track with fresh energy while honoring the melodic essence that made it a fan favorite.
This remix marks a significant milestone—Bart Skils’ 25th release on Drumcode—a testament to his consistent influence on the global techno scene and his unmatched ability to deliver anthems for the dancefloor. Konstantin Sibold, known for his pristine production and ability to blend euphoric, melodic textures with driving beats, delivers exactly that here: a remix built to captivate festival crowds and clubbers alike.
Having had this absolute anthem on repeat, it’s clear Sibold’s remix will be a standout in sets worldwide as we head into 2025.

The COVID-19 pandemic severely impacted many industries worldwide, particularly the music industry, which faced unprecedented challenges. Musicians, who depend heavily on live performances for their income, struggled to make ends meet as concerts and tours were canceled. However, not all musicians faced dire situations during this time. Some, such as Marshmello and Steve Aoki, were fortunate enough to receive millions of dollars in COVID relief funds. This led to controversy and raised questions about the allocation and use of these funds.
Marshmello, whose real name is Christopher Comstock, and Steve Aoki are both well-known DJs and producers in the electronic dance music (EDM) scene. While many artists were facing financial hardships, these two were not among them. The Small Business Administration (SBA) provided guidance that allowed artists to use grants paid to their loan-out company to pay themselves, as long as the amount was not greater than what they received in 2019.
Steve Aoki’s KAWS Art – Photo by Brian Guido for Artsy. Marshmello reportedly received a staggering $9.9 million grant during the pandemic and Steve Aoki reportedly received a staggering $2.4 million in grant money on payroll costs, of which $1.9 million was officer pay. Aoki is the company’s only officer. Aoki’s publicists didn’t respond to requests for comment. However, more than a year later, the SBA requested proof of where the funds had been allocated. In response, Marshmello’s business manager, Steven Macauley of NKSFB, stated that all the money had gone directly into Comstock’s pocket. This raised eyebrows and led to questions about the legitimacy of how the funds were used.
Controversy and Backlash
Marshmallo’s Lamborghini by Mph Club The controversy surrounding Marshmello and Steve Aoki’s receipt of millions of dollars in COVID relief funds had a significant impact on the music industry as a whole. It brought to light the disparities in how relief funds were distributed and the challenges faced by smaller artists and businesses in accessing much-needed financial support during the pandemic.
Many artists and industry professionals called for greater transparency and accountability in how relief funds were allocated to ensure that those who truly needed assistance were able to access it. The controversy also led to discussions about the ethics of wealthy individuals and businesses taking advantage of government aid intended for those in need.
Ultimately, the controversy surrounding Marshmello and Steve Aoki’s receipt of COVID relief funds served as a wake-up call for the music industry and highlighted the need for greater scrutiny and oversight in the distribution of government assistance. It underscored the importance of ensuring that relief funds are allocated equitably and used for their intended purpose of supporting those most in need during times of crisis.

Out on December 20th via Armada, Ukrainian techno singer Korolova and UK group Eynka team forces on the massive trance-inspired tune, “Coming On Strong.”
Considered by many as an underground trance anthem, Signum and Scott Mac’s Armada-released 1999 original of “Coming On Strong” was a standard in dance music through the “90s and early 2000s.” Rising artists Korolova and Eynka reworked the track as a potent cinematic melodic techno classic twenty-25 years after it first came out.
The pair improve the original with their legendary, floating vocals, modern production methods, and a threatening, jagged center synth that twists, bulges, and darts wildly. It is already showing to be a head-turning dancefloor essential, picked up so far by Adam Bayer, Agents of Time, Miss Monique, Paradoks, Ilario Alicante & Enai.
Who are the artists? Korolova and Egynka
Ukrainian producer/DJ Korolova has become well-known over just three years as one of the main melodic techno performers to see. Her interesting DJ sets are in demand worldwide; this year alone, she will be playing over 100 shows over 50 countries. She ranked #60 in this year’s DJ Mag Top 100 DJs list and enjoys a whopping 170 million YouTube views and 70 million streams including the single “Be Strong” (32M streaming). If that’s not enough, she performed Tomorrowland’s much sought-after main stage in July, sold out her Captive Soul show—which included Eynka—at KOKO in London in October, and has shared the stage with David Guetta, Vintage Culture, Armin Van Buuren, Above & Beyond, and many more.
London-based group Eynka produces rich, dramatic soundscapes spanning the domains of melodic techno and expressive electronica. Comprising brothers Chris and Dave Hall as well as lifetime buddy Joshua Field, they produce very moving and cinematic electronic music. Renowned for their intricately layered sound, they have recorded on Diynamic, Cercle, and Stress Records and toured legendary venues including Hï Ibiza and Ministry of Sound. Egynka’s music has had a big influence in the melodic techno movement with tunes backed by BBC Radio 1 and partnerships with CamelPhat and Anyma. They initially performed their new hybrid live presentation on the road this year at famous locations including Ibiza’s Ushuaïa (listen to the set here).
Out on December 20th on Armada, “Coming On Strong” is a late ’90s trance smash deftly translated for a modern techno audience.

We chat to JAEL about what he can’t live without in the studio.
Barefoot SoundType: Footprint03
These are my favourite monitors I have ever bought !
They look so cool, are compact and are built for serious audio pros for a great price. I came across these when my friend went to visit NAMM and told me about a 3 way speaker with MEME technology. I mix all of my own productions and these monitors are the best to my liking.
Why? MEME Tech.
The MEME Technology in these monitors is like having four monitors in one. You can switch between:
“Flat Response” for accuracy,
“Oldschool” for vintage NS10 vibes,
“Hi-Fi” to mimic home speakers,
“Cube” for mono and midrange clarity
This makes it so convenient to check how your mix sounds on different sound systems without having to buy more gear.
The  monitors are like small powerhouses of sound. Don’t let their size fool you—they hit hard with tight, punchy bass, super-clean mids, and highs so crisp they’ll make you rethink every mix. They’re basically the secret weapon for anyone who wants pro-grade sound without taking up half the studio. After getting these monitors, I immediately re-mixed all of my recent mixes and productions and they gave me a brighter spectrum of the mixes.
JAEL’s latest single D33P is out now.

In 2025, I’m focused on continuing to refine my sound and push the boundaries of house and tech house music. I want to keep experimenting and find new ways to connect with my audience. I also plan to collaborate with more artists in different genres and work towards releasing some really exciting new tracks. 

Message to Fans for the New Year: 
Thank you to everyone who has supported me this year. Your energy and feedback keep me going. I’m looking forward to sharing more music with you in 2025, and I promise to keep working hard to bring you the best of what I’ve got. Here’s to another great year together! 

Musical Prediction for 2025: 
I believe 2025 will see a continued evolution of house and tech house, with more focus on blending traditional sounds with new, experimental elements. I think there will also be a growing interest in live instruments being incorporated into electronic music, which will bring a fresh vibe to the scene.

Goal for 2025:  
Keep Building on the momentum, play more international shows and release a ton of music! 
Message to fans for the new year:
All I can say is get ready for some of the best music I’ve ever put out with some huge collabs, the release schedule will be jam packed this year, so I look forward to bringing that to my fans as well as unique show experiences not only through my sets which I can promise will be special this year, but also through the curation of my party “Vice City” in collaboration with some amazing venues like Night we Met Nashville and with amazing talent. 
Musical prediction for 2025:  
Honestly, I see a shift to some of the more groovy Disco sounds, Tech House will still be big but I can see soulful House and some of the groovy Minimal stuff really making a big leap this year and becoming a sound that many people will begin to identify with and love.

Goal for 2025:
 Expand my music catalog and explore new sounds not commonly heard with Dance music.   
Message to fans for the new year:  
I’ve been spending more time crafting my sound this year and I’m happy to say I’ve learned a lot. Next year I’ll be putting out a new sonic tone that I hope will resonant with my fans.  
Musical prediction for 2025: (what trends, sounds or genres you think will be on the spotlight next year) 
For me, I’m looking to set my own trend. There aren’t a lot of artists blended and merging sounds the way I do, with credit due to my knowledge as a piano player. There’s a lot copy and paste but when you’re able to craft something new it becomes the trend setter. I create vibes which I enjoy myself, like Hip Hop, Latin music, Trap and others. 2025 will be a big year.

Lady Decibel 
Goal for 2025:  Play our first festival as Lady Decibel 
Message to fans for the new year:  Happy New Year ahead! We can’t believe it’s already 2025—our second year as Lady Decibel, and we’re just getting started. Last year was an incredible journey of finding our sound, connecting with our earliest fans, and discovering what makes us us. Now, we’re ready to dive even deeper. 
We’ve officially locked in our style and sound, and it feels so right. This year, we’re all about pushing Rave culture forward—celebrating the music, the energy, and the community that makes it so special. 
You can expect a ton of new music coming your way, from original tracks to remixes we can’t wait for you to hear. We’ll also be super active on social media this upcoming year, sharing behind-the-scenes moments, exciting updates, and performances that bring the rave straight to you. 
Thank you for being part of this journey with us. Your love and energy mean everything, and we can’t wait to see where 2025 takes us—together. Let’s make this year unforgettable. 
 
Musical prediction for 2025:  We believe Techno, particularly Hard Techno, will continue to gain momentum. Another high-BPM genre poised for a full resurgence is Drum & Bass. The younger generation craves high-energy, fast-paced music, and we anticipate genres with tempos of 140 BPM and above will see significant growth. These styles are emerging from the underground and becoming increasingly mainstream. 
What excites us the most, however, is the potential for a broader spotlight on new artists exploring the “Euro” style sound. Marlon Hoffstadt, aka DJ Daddy Trance, has been leading the way, inspiring a wave of fresh talent over the past few years. The amount of incredible music being released in this style is astonishing. So many new labels, especially those based in Germany are championing this sound, and we’re thrilled about the opportunity to introduce it to audiences in the U.S.!

Message to fans for the new year: 
Stay healthy, drink water, and get plenty of sleep! 
Musical prediction for 2025: I’ve been obsessed with 90’s/00’s Garage House recently, and people seem to be getting down to it at my sets. I could see that becoming more popular.

Musical prediction for 2025: The use of AI in music will explode in 2025. I have actually used it on one track already. Anyone for a mid-80s New Romantic revival in 2025? All that Human League and Gary Numan stuff still sounds great even today.

Oh it feels so good to have him back! Enigmatic French DJ and producer I Hate Models breaks his hiatus just for us, and returns with a 5-track EP called Forever Melancholia. The Techno producer returns to his melodic and dark, industrial sounds, driven by complex emotions and intensity. The Disco Inferno label boss sure know hows to get us in our feels to some really fast bpms.
Forever Melancholia EP
The first singles of the release made their impact earlier in October this year, gradually resonating on dancefloors all over the world. ‘For My People‘ is a beautiful beginning to the EP, with ethereal vocals that sounds like your speaking to a past lover over the phone, with a emotional string arrangement break that unleashes into an filthy drop that accompanies gear-like structures and textures. The title track ‘Forever Melancholia’ continues the sad and profound undertones with dynamic Hardstyle and Psytrance elements that result in a song that gives you goosebumps.
Then, ‘Twin Souls’ has a more dystopian and futuristic approach to its soundscapes. You feel the emotions of the producer evolve as the album progresses. Lastly, the next two tracks released, which complete the album, are ‘Forgotten Future’ and ‘Nostalgica’. The both bring a shocking repertoir of sounds and vocals that add even more energy and dissonance to the rest of the EP. Each track is surprisingly different but highly detailed, and charged with feelings that inspire.
The depth of this EP is remarkable, as it conveys a wider range of sound that people think Hard Techno can achieve.
What’s Next
The star allowed us to heal on the dancefloor several times across the world this year. Alongside this release, I Hate Models started his new Tour Face || Face. The tour extended multiple dates for next year in Los Angeles, Bogota, Milan, and Vienna.Moreover, New Years Eve will be busy for the artist as he embarks on two shows between Belgium and Amsterdam.
Let the darkness become light, here is Forever Melancholia EP:

Live Nation has recently welcomed the Federal Trade Commission’s (FTC) decision to ban “junk fees” in the ticketing and hospitality industries. This new rule requires businesses to disclose total prices, including all fees, upfront to consumers. In a move to increase transparency and prevent deceptive pricing practices, ticket sellers, hotels, and vacation rental sites are now mandated to display the total price prominently whenever offering or advertising their services. This significant development has sparked discussions about the future of ticket pricing and whether all-inclusive ticket prices could become the norm.
“People deserve to know upfront what they’re being asked to pay — without worrying that they’ll later be saddled with mysterious fees they haven’t budgeted for and can’t avoid,” said FTC Chair Lina M. Khan. “The FTC’s rule will put an end to junk fees around live event tickets, hotels, and vacation rentals, saving Americans billions of dollars and millions of hours of wasted time. I urge enforcers to continue cracking down on these unlawful fees and encourage state and federal policymakers to build on this success with legislation that bans unfair and deceptive junk fees across the economy.”
As consumers, we’ve all experienced the frustration of being lured in by an attractive ticket price only to be hit with a barrage of hidden fees during the checkout process. These “add-on” charges can significantly inflate the total cost of attending an event or staying at a hotel, leaving us feeling misled and dissatisfied. The FTC’s new rule aims to put an end to this deceptive pricing strategy and empower consumers to make informed decisions when purchasing tickets or booking accommodations.
Live Nation, a major player in the live entertainment industry, has expressed its support for the FTC’s ban on junk fees. The company recognizes the importance of transparent pricing and believes that consumers deserve to know the full cost of their purchases upfront. By applauding this regulatory change, Live Nation is signaling its commitment to providing fair and honest pricing to its customers.
Implications for Consumers
For consumers, the FTC’s ban on junk fees represents a significant victory in the ongoing battle for transparency and fairness in the ticketing and hospitality industries. No longer will we have to navigate through a maze of hidden fees and surcharges to determine the true cost of attending a concert or booking a hotel room. With total prices now required to be prominently displayed upfront, we can make more informed decisions about our entertainment and travel expenses.
One of the key implications of this regulatory change is the potential shift towards all-inclusive ticket pricing. In the past, ticket sellers often advertised low base prices to attract customers, only to tack on additional fees later in the purchasing process. This pricing strategy not only misled consumers but also made it difficult to compare prices across different platforms. With the new rule in place, businesses will have to include all mandatory fees in their advertised prices, leading to greater transparency and consistency in pricing.
Furthermore, the FTC’s ban on junk fees is likely to improve consumer trust and confidence in the ticketing and hospitality industries. By requiring businesses to provide accurate, upfront pricing information, the rule aims to prevent deceptive advertising practices and promote fair competition. As a result, consumers can feel more confident in their purchasing decisions and trust that they are getting a fair deal when buying tickets or booking accommodations.
In conclusion, the FTC’s ban on junk fees is a significant step towards improving transparency and fairness in the ticketing and hospitality industries. By requiring businesses to disclose total prices upfront and prohibiting deceptive pricing practices, the rule empowers consumers to make informed decisions and promotes a more level playing field for businesses. While the transition towards all-inclusive ticket pricing may pose challenges for some companies, it ultimately benefits consumers by providing them with clear and honest pricing information. As the industry continues to adapt to these regulatory changes, consumers can look forward to a more transparent and consumer-friendly ticketing and hospitality experience.

Since the year before, there was an assumption that Apple would implement an iPhone subscription program very soon. Well, according to an article from Phandroid, the global tech supergiant has put aside plans to put plans for this unique program. This iPhone subscription program, if implementation plans were to happen, would have allowed iPhone users to upgrade their phones every year, as long as they paid the monthly subscription fees. Paying these fees would be like the same goes for any subscribers paying their subscriptions for a gym membership, streaming platforms, educational courses, and so on.
Since Apple has cast away these plans, it is now uncertain what the subscriptions fees would have been. A lot of iPhone users still pay plenty of subscription fees nonetheless due to subscribing monthly (or weekly or however they would pay varying on time) on various apps they use. If these plans came into fruition, it would not come as a surprise since it does seem like the monthly iPhone subscription program could have bore plenty of revenue gradually. No one knows for sure when will Apple decide to once more think about implementing an iPhone subscription program.

Marshmello, Steve Aoki, and other artists were accused of pocketing millions of dollars that were awarded to them in the form of pandemic relief grant money, according to an investigation published earlier this week by Business Insider.
The pandemic relief program—called the Shuttered Venue Operators Grant—was intended to allocate funds to struggling independent venues and arts group throughout the pandemic. The investigation reports that Marshmello—lesser known as Christopher Comstock—received a $9.9 million grant. When the SBA (Small Business Administration) asked Marshmello’s business manager for proof of how the money was spent, his business manager stated that Comstock had pocketed it all.
Business Inside also stated that Steve Aoki’s loan-out company was awarded millions in grant money but when reporting its allocation, DJ Kid Millionaire Touring claimed it spent payroll and $1.9 million was used for officer pay. Steve Aoki is the company’s lone officer.
Neither artists has responded to the allegations at the time of writing.

Skrillex has set the speculation wheels rolling, again! The Los Angeles-based Grammy-winning producer has cleared out his entire Instagram, save one photo. Yes, you heard it right! All these years of content & posts wiped out clean for his whopping 12.5 million followers. This dastardly act has left his fans concerned about the future.


Early December witnessed something unusual to start the jitters. An accompanying statement post his latest track, “Heavy Heart,” featuring Loco Dice and Fireboy DML has started raising the eyebrows. Reflecting on this new phase, Skrillex wrote, “I’m feeling every cell in my body, feeling so alive and connected as I move into this new phase.” He also revealed that his 15-year record deal with Atlantic Records is coming to an end—a milestone that he described as “surreal.” It is still unclear if ‘Heavy Heart’ is his final project with Atlantic Records, or if there is one final album in the pipeline for 2025.

Fans have been speculating the permutations behind this sudden move. From predicting a new album to bearing the brunt of a mental breakdown, rumour mills across the internet have been chugging like never before. Some barber experts also claimed that Sonny John Moore (Skrillex’s real name) might have removed at least 6-10 inches and kept it clean cut on the top. A recurring theme in fan discussions is whether Skrillex might be retiring the Skrillex alias entirely, or simply pausing new releases until larger projects are complete.

Skrillex is next scheduled to perform at the Sunburn Festival in Goa, India on the 28th of December.
