Skrillex Takes Over

Skrillex Moves Forward :

One of the fasted upcoming artists today in the electronic dance music scene happens to be taking the world by storm overnight. He literally didn’t exist and then put out his first EP and was signed through Deadmau5 upon release. Scary Monster’s and Sprites on the label Mau5trap by none other then SKRILLEX has taken every slot on beatport’s top ten. That was groundbreaking for beatport, the first time seen for an artist to hold every slot, number one, two, three, and so on! Also the fact that it was a brand new name that literally just put out his first album, we as music fans tend to do a double take. Prior to becoming the infamous Skrillex also known as Sonny Moore, he was the front man for a scream-o band in his teens called, “From First to Last.” This band was unique to say the last but I think we all agree, “that any move away from singing about topics like body dysmorphia and overwrought relationship drama is a step up. At the age of 21 Skrillex is a pop icon helping the new genre known as “dub-step” reach amazing heights from a multi-genre influence, nearly taking EDM to a commercial level with a close to demonic sound. Some argue that the elements of hip-hop found in dub-step genre’s such as Skrillex help this new genre push into the mainstream. Skrillex held the headlining slot for the legendary Ultra Music Fest this past March and continues to step in and step up to mold a new genre out of what once was dub-step to a fusion of rock, house, dub-step, and so much more! If you haven't heard of him, take a listen! It's not the usual rock and roll or electronic techno sounds your use too! If you already know dub-step and Skrillex then it should be no surprise that he's touring the world in style as a new pop icon for youth today! Attached is one of his more popular tunes, and if you are really curious about the scream-o sound then take a listen to the last video. It's probably still embarrassing for you Sonny Moore to look back at! But with tour dates filling up, and new remixes being pumped out for pop stars and Rocks stars such as Lady Ga Ga and White Zombie, the sky is the limit for our new young rock an roller!
