Mike Skinner last month killed off his own record label venture The Beats, through which he had signed The Mitchell Brothers, Example and Professor Green, and he's told the NME that he decided to bring the label project to an end because "the traditional record label is dead". He continued: "The Beats represents me growing up. Spectating was more nerve-wracking than performing. What I'm doing now is looking for the thing you can create that embraces the next generation. I'm really into what you can do online and I'd rather be at the centre of it".
