I listen to A LOT of electro and dubstep. I dj and promote it.
this Skrillex guy is previously the lead singer of the band From First to Last.
There is a bit of bias on my end as I hate this guy to begin with, but examinig his music, you can't help but note as Sir Eco did, that he is weak on the production side, he's totally positioned himself to take advantage of the current "dirty electro/dubstep" trend.
Basically, I see this as him having a very good PR firm to help get him out there after jumping into a trendy genre.
You can hear the Deadmau5 production elements in his music that either Joel helped with or Skrillex actually jacked from him, which is funny because he's signed to the Mau5's label.
I mean, I like the Noisia remix of that big EP that's dominating beatport, but you can still hear how hollow the overall production is. So the track I like, is lacking. This is dissappointing for the amount of popularity he's getting, which Im basing off of his current/recent USA tour with Deadmau5 playing to thousands of people, who are obviously buying up that perfectly timed release on beatport.
