He's just hitting the scene hard w/ his solo gig but holy quack is this dude legit. He used to be in a band called From First To Last. This guy is a MUST get for ANYTHING in 2011. Late night, Thur night Lunar Stage, needs to happen. I will call it right now that this guy will have BLOWN UP by the time Roo '11 rolls around.
If you are fan of Deadmau5, Bassnectar, dubstep, or EDC in general you should dig this.
Drop @ 1:20 is nasty

Well, I quacking called it, this guy is HUGE right now, selling out almost every single show he plays! His debut Album completely destroyed BeatPort owning the top 10 with every single! He was recently booked for Ultra Music Festival, Bonnaroo would have to be retarded not to book this kid!

Il start by saying I'm not sure where I stand with dub step. But I do really like techno/acid house type stuff, for instance I checked out that deadmau5 everyone's talking about and I loved em. Ok with that said I checked these guys out and I like em, but i still had that weird(dub step) feeling. I DO think they prob put on an awesome show with a sweet crowd to go with it though...so if there in the 11 line up il definitely check em out
he's just riding the waves of trends. pretty cool he's only 22 though. i saw him in an arena with fftl when he was only 18 and he rocked it like a pro. put on a good show... for a screamo show that is. i'd definitely go to his set at bonnaroo.
The only reason I was considering going to Deadmau5 a couple months ago was to see Skrillex open. Since I didn't, I'm hoping he gets booked at Bonnaroo or Lolla, or both.

Honestly based on my listening habits of the past month I think Skrillex has become my #1 most anticipated electronic music act I'd like to see. Can't wait to catch his set at Ultra
Is dubstep just a trend? I really cannot get into it for the life of me. I love the EDC genre in general but this stuff just grinds on me, the dancing people do it bothers me even more, its like the whitest dancing ever. i dont know, different strokes I guess.
It's amazing how different the musical tastes of the board members of Inforoo vs. the Coachella board. I've never listed to much dub step therefore don't have and opinion but they hate this guy over there. It's actually a pretty funny thread if you want a laugh. There is a lot of douchebaggery over there though.
This guy saw where the emo scene was going and jumped on the electronic bandwagon that is currently the craze, much like the dude from Sleigh Bells.. He'll try and go back to FFTL after this scene dies guaranteed.

I've never heard his stuff as Skrillex but my one friend used to be into that Fron First to Last band in high school and, yikes. Awful.

You all really need to take a step back and realize that this guy is terrible. Please do yourself a favor and don't fall for the trend. If you have any real taste in dance music or dub step or any common knowledge at all you will realize that Skrillex is like the Nickleback of this genre.

Finally. Dude realized screamo was dying, bought a copy of Ableton Live and made some generic Womp-step (contrary to popular belief, all dubstep doesn't have to have wobble bass) and then used his major label connects to just jump right into the electronic circuit and started playing huge shows/festivals. This guy did not earn his place or pay his dues, which would be fine if his music wasn't so generic.

The fact that he doesn't even know how to mix also makes me laugh. Also, I think why people hate him so much over there is because most of the people on the Coachella boards have had the opportunity to see some really really great electronic artists at other underground events around San Francisco, LA, Chicago, etc and can spot an amateur a mile away. It's a trend that is reaching the likes of Britney Spears and it's awful. Throwing out names like Bassnectar and DeadMau5 doesn't do anything but prove that the only Dubstep DJ's you know about are on MTV. I'm telling you for your own good, don't buy into this guy. Dig deeper and you will understand.
Taken from Coachella board
*press play* *light cigarette* *make sure EQs aren't accidentally turned down* *move hair out of glasses* *talk to hipster friends* *check EQs again* *make hand movements to the crowd* *triple check EQ knobs* *adjust alcoholic beverage* *dance with hipster friends* *move hair out of face* *more hand movements* *yell in mic* *drink, smoke* *repeat above steps 3 times* *RANDOMLY TRANSITION TO A TRACK THAT IS ALREADY HALF WAY PLAYED WITH NO MIXING WHATSOEVER* *randomly cut power, music stops* *CROW GOES INSANE!!!!!*
Skrillex is a fraud. He does nothing live...AT ALL. At least Girl Talk has some variety in his live sets triggering samples and loops, but Skrillex literally uses iTunes for his sets. Its AWFUL, hes an amateur. Please keep him away from Bonnaroo! Coachella made a HUGE mistake booking him, the Coachella boards are furious over him being booked.

Skrillex released two of the best EPS in electronic music this year and he's an excellent producer. I'd not heard this criticism before, and if it's true I hope he works on his mixing skills, but that being said.. Fuck the coachella people and fuck you guys. Skrillex makes awesome music and it would be a really really fun set, nuff said
Look at his live videos...AWFUL transitions...very little variation from his studio work. Anytime you see an electornic act who is doing a live set as opposed to a DJ set and it sounds very true to the studio versions you can almost always assume they're not a very good live DJ.
