Skrillex

For the past week or so I've been on a heavy dubstep binge, mostly fueled by artists such as Datsik, Skrillex, Excision, Bassnectar, and Flux Pavillion.  Skrillex is by far one of my favorite producers out there.  His style is very versatile compared to many of popular producers.  Skrillex's sounds range from prog house to electro to dubstep.  His ep Scary Monsters and Nice Sprites has been listened to many times on my iPod.  My favorite song would have to be Scary Monsters and Nice Sprites for it is a very heavy hitting dubstep banger.  All I Ask of You is his "prog house" track on the EP.  This song features a singer named Penny who gracefully sings over this uplifting track. (video of the two performing live below)


I am looking forward to Skrillex's performance at the DEMF(Detroit Electronic Music Festival AKA Tech Fest!).  He is also scheduled to headline at the Electronic Forest Festival(more commonly known as Rothbury) this summer in Rothbury, Michigan.

I was very surprised to hear that Skrillex is actually Sonny Moore who was the former singer for the band From First To Last.  I certainly think that the music he is making now is much better than what he was making before.  I just wanted to show some love for my boy Skrillex!  I'll be posting very soon with some more artists and updates!

  4. JUST got into them. Loving every single thing by them. Except the two remixes of Monsters and Good Sprites. Original trumps them by a lot.
