Skrillex wins Grammy for Best Remixed Recording

[russell]

Same with Guetta, good on him for breaking though to mainstream radio.

There's a difference between breaking through and selling your soul.

why did deadmau5 be a whale for?

It's because he knew skrillex was gonna be the "man of the moment" sorta thing so he just added to it. I've read all this somewhere

Bit of a dog act if you ask me. Deadmau5 seems to get off on trolling others, he does it every chance he gets. Would be good to see how he would react if the shoe was on the other foot. This just gives me another reason to think less of him and his stupid antics.

I've felt the same way bout this dick for ages, I actually used to like is music, now days the shit I keep hearing about him makes me dislike him more and more

[mattus123]

Yea the more and more i heard about deadmau5 the more and more i dont like him.. he jsut comes across as a complete whale

im bordering on boycotting his tracks

as for Skrillex not being a DJ whats that about? i thought i had seen videos of him mixing?

[Mitch]

He uses ableton and a midi pad to trigger samples.

However i have heard a stories of his computer crashing, and then he had to borrow some cd's and revert to le ol' CDJs.

big grats to skrilldizzle, he always seems so passionate and happy with everything he does music wise, seems pretty humble too

never liked deadmau5 as a person, and only liked his very early work (all the rest after his early work is complete trash imo), i remember him getting punched at an afterparty in either brissy or gc awhile ago, he was probably being a total faggot then as well

[Jaz]

mm never seen skrillex use turntables but he does use a mixer with his laptop and midi pad, often has it hooked up to djm800/900

wonder how he'd go at beat matching on vinyl?

It was in brisbane for a creamfields after party at a place called birdees. Knew the guy that did it, fkn hilarious haha.

Deserved it though.

yeah i know, still curious but

[LabRat]

He probably can. When you think about it? It's not toooo different to mixing cds

[russell]

He probably can. When you think about it? It's not toooo different to mixing cds

but is the point not that he doesn't use any sort of turntable or cdj?

[Mitch]

He usually has one cdj sitting to the side.

Never seen him use it, but presume he can

well i guess he doesn't label himself a dj. he's a producer, who like every other producer, performs his own tunes in their own way.

it's everyone else that call him a dj.

maybe someone should ask him?

[Gandy]

i look at it more hes a producer, and when he plays out, he does the same thing a classical pianist does, except he plays scores of sheets with his pad/ableton etc instead of a piano

[Mitch]

As said above, he doesn't label himself as a DJ. Quite the opposite actually, from interviews I've read he tries to label himself as producer rather than dj.

So you can't really criticize him for not being a dj when that isn't what he is trying to do, or label himself as.

This guy ^^

firstly. Deadmua5's little shirt thing is the weakest most pathetic publicity stunt i think i've ever seen.

secondly, and i'll try to be brief, But i think skrillex getting a grammy is just disgusting. dont get me wrong i dont mind his music or who / what he is. but dont you think after the last 20+ years of EDM there have been countless amounts of BETTER artists than skrillex will ever be AND THEN this half head shaven piece of shit WHALE has the audacity to say that EDM isn't a genre only a platform?

=D> good way to undo decades of work. =D>

[russell]

AND THEN this half head shaven piece of shit whale has the audacity to say that EDM isn't a genre only a platform?

Was this part of his acceptance speech or something?

[Tomy]

its a quote from something he said in the MTV interview from the OP

[Jaz]

what does he mean by its a platform though?

[Tomy]

i'm assuming he's meaning roughly its a platform for other genres IE whats happening in US pop at the moment with every half spanish idiot rapping to dance tracks.

[Jaz]

hahahahaha i think your talking about pitbull, hate that fucker lol

[Tomy]

yeah that guy. the worst!

[Gandy]

hahahahaha i think your talking about pitbull, hate that fucker lol

do not get me started on that oxygen thief, fucking hate that grub
