You may love him.
You may hate him. You may disagree with his 80’s style haircut, odd look and post-hardcore
past, but sweet Christ if ever there was a step by step “How to become a dirty
dubstep God” feature in the world of How to’s…Skrillex is definitely staking a
claim to author being one of the fastest rising names in the world of dubstep
(and planet gofockeennuts).
I recently had the
pleasure of seeing the epic wave that Skrillex has created and basked in the
‘WHATTATHEFUCK’ is this? Normally my personal taste doesn’t delve into the
world of laptop generated sound and ‘one man and his beatbox lyrics’ that Radio
1 so happily spits out each and everyday (yes you, Fearne ‘I would be fit if
not for the face’ Cotton), but when I listened to the sound that passed through
my speakers the first time I listened to Skrillex, the drop in First of the Year (Equinox) was so
massive, so epic, so huge that it unfortunately killed my dog…and I don’t even
own a dog.
After this
experience I wanted to learn more in the ways of the dirty dirty dubstep, and heard
more of Skrillex’s creations. This infatuation grew and so when the opportunity
came to see him live, Valentine’s Day no less (I applaud every non-loved up
couple there), I could not pass up. The sound is indescribable. The set so
outrageous, you feel like you’re having an outrageous trip on the biggest pile
of drugs you could muster together -insert Whitney Houston joke here-. I suggest
every one of you reading this to ride the fattest, juiciest wave of music out
there at the moment. Your senses will be literally dry humping your brain so
bad you’ll be shooting rainbows out your arse…
At this point
you’re probably thinking ‘this Lads talking horseshit’. And you would be
correct to an extent but so would you if you had 140 decibels performing the
reach around on your eardrums for 2 hours straight with no breaks. At 22,
Skrillex, real name Sonny Moore, is carving a career that looks extremely
bright, playing daily shows across the globe to hundreds of people,
mind-fucking each one of them, one by one. To sum it up, this was a comment on
one of his YouTube videos
“The last time
something dropped this hard, Japan surrendered…”
Need I say more?
