Skrillex – Leaving EP

Skrillex has just released a brand new 3 track EP titled ‘Leaving’ and it definitely has a different feel than some of his other stuff.

Sonny doesn’t totally abandon the unique, glitchy, bass heavy sound that he has pioneered, with ‘Scary Bolly Dub’ we still get a heavy dubstep banger with several elements that are extracted seemingly straight from some of his previous tracks. Enjoy!
