Thraed of Skrillex

the zedd remix of that song is what Ty$ sampled for 'my cabana,' and skrillex wouldnt clear it :(

you should personally appeal to yung gr0up0n on ty$'s behalf

i actually think "the summit" is an amazing track

I like that Skrillex has Chris Cunningham-lite videos to go along with his Aphex Twin-lite music.

ha

I think that's only really quite true of the "Equinox" video tho

is that the "call 911 now!!" song?

minaj 'spaceships' is the only real fake aphex/cunningham this year

is that the "call 911 now!!" song?

yes

‎"Hey Dad, do you know who Skrillex is?"

Yes.

"Do you know why he can never go fishing?"

No, why?

"Because he always drops the BASS!"

Really so much better than the official vid.

that is one of the best things I have ever seen

that was probably my best-spent two minutes of 2012

I just watched that three more times because Christmas Eve wasn't half the experience that video is.

not to hate but the original 30 second noscope vids from a long time ago were way more jarring and effective

link?

no idea sry man

you just have to trust my post

that was pretty hilarious

adorable

That Farming Simulator video is hilarious, but mainly because Farming Simulator is hilarious.

so dude sounds like burial now? this is cool but i'm not sure something tasteful like this is what i want from him after all

WTF DUDE WARE'S THE FUCKIN DROP?????

what i like about "leaving" (and i do like it, blatant burial jack or not) is that sonny can't do dark or ominous if he tried, so there's this dayglo happy rave optimism to it which is a nice twist to this sound

It's much catchier than Burial, and I sometimes wish Burial was a bit catchier.

Lol he's even gone for a 'Sad Roads At Night' stock photo.

man i was just starting to get into skrillex

It's like the opposite of when Dylan went electric...

i don't think anyone should be worrying that "leaving" is indicative of the general direction he's going into. it's more a diversion than anything i'd imagine

i didn't realize that people listened to skrillex's recorded music

i just like bangarang a lot is all & was hoping for more of the same

^^^

"Bangarang" is awesome cause it works in the same jam-packed maximalist way as Basement Jaxx.

"bangarang" is def pretty cool

i mean, for what it is

hmm I guess I will listen to bangarang, but track above is really generic sounding to my ears, like burial, pearson sound or faltydl with preset drums and strings. it should play in the cool teen store at the mall, whatever that is

and haha

Now dont ever mention burial and skrillex in same sentence again
16m

Has Skrillex collaborated with Unicorn Kid yet? Should happen.

it should play in the cool teen store at the mall, whatever that is

this is a compliment right?

most people don't like youth, lex

actually, mall music is something I have enjoyed -- but not really meant as a compliment. generic-ness being the key ingredient to make any music suitable for the mall

sad 4 them

i don't think this track sounds like burial, there's something a bit new agey and ambient and '90s about it rather than ~night bus~ dark, but it is as boring as most burial

it should play in the cool teen store at the mall, whatever that is

i read this as "it's catchier and has a bigger pop appeal than burial" which isn't good or bad

I don't really think that track is "catchy". it's maybe "lighter" than a burial or faltydl track. imo if it wasn't made by skrillex, it would never show up on ilx

"leaving" off this is pretty sweet

It's less of a copy of burial than faltydl (initially) already was, and way less of a copy than that one track on the Royal-T album. On and then like old Pariah tracks and etc. etc. etc. If copying Burial is a crime then Skrillex is gonna be on death row a long time.

ha

there's something a bit new agey and ambient and '90s about it

Yeah, definitely picked it up here too. Rather like it.
