Semi OT: Skrillex - Officially the man.
Respect to Skrillex, He released 10 songs a couple of days ago and 8 out of 10 reached the top 10 - That is one heck of a release.
Normally I’m more of a Tech house/house/progressive house man, but he has some seriously insane music. Plus he dresses like a fucking maniac!
Kiiilll everybody!
Sounds like the worst of Doctor P, Excision, Dragon Force and Generic electro.
No wonder everyone loves it.
He managed to sample Pure andrenalin and turn it into heavy ass synths in every one of his new songs.
I totally sound like a little ass fanboy!
sweet forgot to check out more of his stuff after he and dm5 ran through austin… heard he is straight killin it. thx for the reminder :]

Ive only heard his dubstep tunes, but since Ive grown tired of all the filth never really cared that much.
Like this tune though. It has everything I like in a song; strange noise, messy synths, nice harmonies and a funny hook. Thumbs up to Skrillex!
Crazy about the 8 songs on the top 10…That has to be a beatport record.
The music is nuts! Talented producer for sure.

talented? yes
unique? yea
His dubstep is unreal
You know, I consider myself a pretty big Dubstep head, and I like the filthy stuff. But his stuff just doesn’t do it for me.
I feel that his stuff reached the top more on the line of being on Deadmau5’s label, though I will admit it will appeal to a certain crowd.
im not a huge dubstep fan, but his stuff just seems so different.
digging it.

I definitely approve of Skrillex. I think the reason why he’s so popular all of a sudden is, to a large extent, that he’s that good
Yeah props good to see dubstep finally in the Beatport top 10, and especially to see Noisia in there as well.
I dont really dig any of the tunes though … even the Noisia remix.
Im not sure why anybody thinks his sound is original either - he is in the top 10 purely because of the label methinks…
Though with the rediculous increase in the popularity of dubstep in the last 6 months it had to happen soon.
He’s actually gonna be out in my area on the 17th (Palm Springs).
its a wednesday cuz thats electro night out here at Space 120, where he’s playing.
I’m excited.
couple weeks ago saw 12th Planet at the same venue and he looked like he was having a blast, cuz there were like maybe 40 ppl in the venue but everyone was gettin crazy haha!

12th planet spins with skrillex a lot and plays a lot of his songs, or at least skrillex chills with him a lot
