Long Time No Post. Where Did Skrillex Come From?

Skrillex has hit the electo/dubstep scene recently with a few remixes and a couple of releases. I would see his name pop up on dubstep and electro forums and he would be compared to Datsik and Deadmau5 and others. You may know him as Sonny Moore, the former lead singer of From First to Last.


From First To Last - Note To Self
Uploaded by epitaphrecords. - Music videos, artist interviews, concerts and more.

He left From First to Last, having vocal problems and getting an operation, and announced in early 2007 he would pursue a solo career. He toured under a few different variations of his legal name. Fast Forward to Summer of 2010, after playing at LA night clubs as Skrillex for about a year, Sonny releases My Name is Skrillex his first EP. Deadmau5 picks him up on his record label and they release Scary Monsters and Nice Sprites



I believe its producers like Sonny who will migrate the hardcore/emo/scremo scene kids into the electronic dance music scene. They are the kids that are open to it and are growing up.

Another one of my favorites -



This little video interview pretty much sums it up.

Flufftronix - Unsafe At Any Speed VOL 1

Philadelphia is a treasure chest of artists and producers. Flufftronix is one to keep a watch out for. After his very successful Luvstep mix with Dirty South Joe, Fluff has put together another mix that will keep your heart pounding. With the explosion of Dubstep into the underground electronic dance music genre in the Eastern Coast here in the US, one can only take note of the diversity in the scene. I can't be surprised when my hip-hop lovin thug friends are asking me about the next dubstep party. Hip-hop and dubstep are similar in that they are close in BPM and are mostly driven by the bass. Flufftronix does an amazing drop giving us enough vocals in this mix to satisfy the tastes of many an appreciator of music. Thats where Fluff is different from the other cats in this scene. He has the talent to distinguish how deep to take us into the depths of the underground while treating the mainstream in us with some familiar vocals.

This mix features a lot of great producers in the scene right now: Rusko, Benga, Munchi, Nero, Zombies For Money, Tim Dolla, Drop The Lime, J-Wow and others. Flufftronix takes us on a ride deep into the belly of the beast dropping some heavy stuff. He blends the music well bringing a symphony of bass to your body. This mix should be listened to on a proper system. Keep Fluff on your radar and check out his weekly parties in Philly.

Felix Cartal - Volcano

Felix Cartal is an amazing producer. In this particular track Johnny Whitney (Blood Brothers) does the vocals.

This song has been out for a bit, but the video just came out. Its actually quite relevant because of the recent Icelandic volcano interrupting travel throughout Europe and North East America.

Hey readers, here's a nice mix from Canada's DJ Barletta. I've been following these guys over at Saintwoods.com for about a year now, and they have the music game on point. I'm kind of jealous of the scene in Canada, or so it seems.
