Skrillex has released a brand new video for his song "Stranger" taken from his 2014 album Recess. The video is a bit different because it is a remix of his song, taking the glitchy original with Milo & Otis, Killagraham and Sam Dew and giving it a more subdued treatment with White Sea and Tennyson. In addition to the heartwarming accompanying video, Skrillex is giving 100 percent of proceeds from this song to charities that serve underprivileged and at risk children.
The video puts the viewer in an abandoned industrial space somewhere in the country that has become a sort of paradise for a large group of young teenagers. They spend their day and night feasting on sweets and playing out in a small area of abandoned buildings, lighting off fireworks, setting off colored smoke and lighting things on fire. Directed by Andrew Donoho, the video features people from the OWSLA family, including Skrillex who seems to lead the activities and kids from a local school in Griffen, Georgia.
The proceeds from the video and all purchases of the new remix will be split between three different charities. They will be split up between the Boys & Girls Club, Bridges for Music and Jhamtse Gatsal Children's Community.
This is the grand finale of OWSLA's nestivus campaign that has already unveiled various other initiatives for charity over the past couple of weeks.
To donate, head to his special website here and those who do, will receive a free copy of this new "Stranger" remix. On this Christmas, as you read this post on your computer, phone, tablet or other device, think about those who are less fortunate and get some quality music as a reward.
