EXCLUSIVE Pictured: Hacker recluse, 22, who made £42,000 stealing songs from the world's biggest stars including Taylor Swift, Adele and Coldplay On the estate in Luton where Skylar Dalziel grew up, neighbours assumed the 22-year-old had shut herself away to look after her disabled father. But in reality, the reclusive carer was busy building her own music industry by stealing online from the world's biggest stars and selling on their unreleased tracks. Pictured for the first time, Dalziel targeted more than 100 artists, from Taylor Swift to Adele and Coldplay. For more than two years she hacked into online cloud storage accounts linked to the artists to steal more than 290,000 tracks before they had been released. The jobless benefits claimant sold new Adele tracks for £1,650 a time, songs by Canadian rapper Drake for £2,000, and Coldplay hits for £400. Astonishingly, she had managed to hack into cloud accounts at top record labels, including Universal Music Group, Atlantic, Sony Music Group and Warner Records. Police traced profits of at least £42,000 made between April 2021 and January 2023, but they believe this is just a fraction of the money taken by a global hacking group who taught her the tricks. When officers swooped on Dalziel's £220,000 terraced home they found a spreadsheet in her bedroom listing sales on the dark web that suggested she was only keeping a third of the money, with the remainder going to associates taking Bitcoin payments from fans. They used a cryptocurrency tumbler – an online money laundering service that obscures the trail by mixing potentially identifiable or 'tainted' crypto with others. Dalziel was only found out after she contacted her music idol Taylor Upsahl on Instagram. She told the US indie pop star she had 'discovered' 40 of her tracks for sale online in an attempt to befriend her. Dalziel was issued a cease-and-desist notice from Sony Music before the international music industry body started a probe. The case was eventually referred to the City of London's Police Intellectual Property Crime Unit, which identified the hacker as Dalziel – a registered carer with ADHD who left school with no qualifications. Yesterday Detective Constable Daryl Fryatt, who led the case, said Dalziel's 'creepy' superfan message to Ms Upsahl was her downfall as it enabled officers to trace her through social media accounts in which she posted pictures of her tattoo, which said: 'Thriving.' He said: 'She has looked at these artists, who their family are and where they live, associates, open-source research working out who is best to hack, targeting files on sound engineers for email logins, some of it was guess work. This organised crime group taught her to do it, groomed her, giving her the skills to be useful to them. She had a very turbulent upbringing, did not go to university, she has taught herself her own IT skills. She was a recluse staying at home as a carer for her dad.' Dalziel pleaded guilty to nine copyright offences and four computer misuse offences in October. Last week she was spared jail by a judge at Luton Crown Court who handed her a 21-month sentence suspended for 24 months and ordered her to complete 180 hours of unpaid work. Investigators in the US are now hoping the prosecution will lead them to the global hacking group who successfully targeted the world's best-known musicians.

YES, I want Dashboard ans SGGH too, and fingers crossed for Soundtrack to the End as well. As for Sexin U, if she hasn't gotten the sample cleared, she probably is willing to put her all into getting it - otherwise I don't think she'd even put it as a possibility on that TikTok. Honestly, all the songs she previewed would be amazing to get. All EXCEPT for Wild Card - it's honestly so mid compared to everything else from the era minus Snatched though

real. I NEED Dashboard and Somebody's Gonna Get Hurt. I wonder if she got the sample cleared for sexin you

Voltage by Skrillex (2012) Tracklist Most of this album was literally made from Bangarang demos and songs made on the Mothership tour from what I've read. There was a draft tracklist of 10 songs from the Bangarang Demos like Summit (originally called Breathe) and Right In (called Right Here). I think so I just merged whatever wasn't on Bangarang, demos from the sessions and intended for Voltage using the 10 track WIP tracklist and most of Bangarang EP into an attempted cohesive order. Also putting in Father Said despite being from 2010 bc its such a hit! Most of this works pretty smoothly. I tried to make it as realistic as possible by renaming some of the songs.

Now I'm just taking a shot in the dark here, but I'm guessing she'll release it around the one year anniversary of Hot City's release! Which I think would be so iconic.

She said back in December that the deluxe will come this year. Personally I doubt she'll do physicals for it, but she can always surprise us!
-
She said she wanted to do a deluxe and even did a TikTok playing the original versions of some of the outtakes (Wild Card, Sexin U, Dashboard, Outlaw and Somebody's Gonna Get Hurt iirc) considering redoing them for a deluxe, but I don't think there's any more recent news about that.

Are the rumours of a deluxe edition legit and if so, does anyone know if it will be pressed up to CD & Vinyl like the regular edition (which I have)?

Katy Perry – 143 (2024) 143 was not a bad album in its concept, however, some fixes could have been done to strength the overall cohesion of the album's flow, including bumping some of the 1432 bonuses to the main album, and including some other songs performed by other artists, that could have better suited an artist like Katy Perry. I would love personally loved for her to reunite with Alesso & Space Primates for the album; their collaboration in "When I'm Gone" was such a fresh sound for Perry that it could have worked real well in this album's project.
