Any Skrillex Fans in the Hampur?

MCBNY · 08-01-2012, 10:04 AM

^^^One of his more popular songs for the hampurites who probably have not heard of him. You'll probably have a seizure, so just warning you in advance.

The first time I listened to some of his stuff I said "wtf is this $h1t?!?!?" and then my older brother told me "it's an acquired taste." And he was right. Now I can't get enough of the zombie music after being patient with it.

I don't expect the older crowd to like him at all.

Don't they play that real loud 24/7 at Guantanamo to make terrorists talk?

I'd be a happy prisoner. But in limited doses. It's friggin' intense.

Deadmau5 is my actually my favorite artist right now. People compare Skrillex & dm5 ad nauseam because they seem to be the two biggest household names in the whole electronica genre. But they are really different so the comparisons are annoying.

Strobe is one of the most unreal tracks I've ever heard. Ten minutes of musical ecstasy.

**I highly recommed everyone give this song [vvv] a listen.** You probably won't regret it.

Wub wub wub wuuuub

I haven't, but I'd give him a listen.
I've seen him more in gifs than I have listened to his music lol

had to post this

MCBNY · 08-01-2012, 10:28 AM

He's just a baller.

MCBNY · 08-01-2012, 10:32 AM

Since we're talking trance, one of my favorite new artists is Madeon. He's an 18 year old phenom from France. What I like about him is he has the heavy thumping beats that Skrillex has, but he also has the more musical/melodic sound like deadmau5. Can't wait til he releases more stuff.

Fishooked · 08-01-2012, 10:39 AM

So can someone please tell me what the hell the difference is between trance, rave, electronica, dubstep, etc. It seems like every day someone else is pulling a new genre out of their asses.

I don't knot if it would be considered the same or not, but I love Crystal Method, Chemical Brothers, Prodigy, Fatboy Slim, Lords Of Acid. Massive Attack, etc.

Thanks for posting these though, I've always wanted to him a listen, but keep forgetting to check it out.

The genres are confusing as ****. I don't even understand them all.

Trance/Electronica I feel are synonymous. Just anything electronic with a nice beat that's kinda "trance" inducing. That's my definition at least.

Dubstep is very distinct - more loud and f*cked up sounding with bigger beats that are "dropped." The drop is when the music just turns into chaos. For example, the drop in "Scary Monsters & Nice Sprites" would be around 40 seconds in. Skrillex is more dubstep than trance. Skrillex does not put me in a nice, easy trance. He makes my ****ing blood boil, as he should.

---If there are people who can define the genres better/correct what I said, feel free.---

Also, wikipedia should probably give you more distinct and specific definitions about the genres and their histories and all that fun stuff.

People who compare Skrillex grungey electronica to Deadmau5 obviously don't understand the genre ...

One of my favorite dubstep artists is Mt. Eden. His music is more relaxed and not as "loud" and "crazy".

That's kinda what I figured - I just call it all 'techno' in my playlist anyway.
I could also rename it (as well as my entire ipod) as 'music my wife hates'

Listening to 'Deadmau5' right now - loving it.

Lately I've been turned onto a lot more instrumental type music, as frankly I think it provides a good background noise in which to do stuff around the house, or get work done in the office.

Yes - need to get more music from them as well.

Junkie XL is another I had forgotten.

Any other artists anyone wishes to recommend is appreciated.
