ARTIST SPOTLIGHT: SKRILLEX



Sonny John Moore, also known as Skrillex, is an electronic musician from Los Angeles, California, well known for his role as the former frontman for the post-hardcore band From First To Last. In late fall of 2007 he embarked on his very first tour as a solo artist, the Team Sleep Tour with Team Sleep, Strata, and Monster in the Machine. After recruiting a new band lineup, Moore toured North America on the Alternative Press Tour and appeared on the cover of Alternative Press' annual 100 Bands You Need To Know issue. In June, 2008 Moore went into recording for his debut album, titled Bells, alongside producer Noah Shain. He is currently signed to Atlantic Records, and runs an imprint label called Owsla.

Skrillex is a multi talented, multi project one-man machine. He is versed in many different genres including Dub Step, Drum & Bass, Electro-House, etc. He has recorded an electronic EP titled "My Name Is Skrillex", released on June 07, 2010. He has also been DJing a lot under the name "Skrillex'. On top of this he has really been making a name for himself as a producer / remixer.

Skrillex has quickly become one of my favorite dub step artists. This set of songs will probably leave you thinking the same exact thing.  The stand out tracks for me are FATHER SAID and THE WIND BLOWS. They are all bangers though.
