araabMuzik is not a DJ. It´s like people calling Jeremy ellis a DJ. These guys know how to tear it on midi controllers. Unlike some people who tweak unassigned knobs on a trigger finger.

HE IS SO GOOD AT PUSHING BUTTONS WITH PRE-ASSIGNED SAMPLES!

That shit towards the middle where he's pushing buttons really fast sounds horrible.

 

At least Skrillex can make his own sounds, this fuck just pushes buttons and rearranges them into:

1. Rhythms Skrillex has already made in other songs.

2. The sound you make when you program random notes into a drum machine for the first time and turn the tempo all of the way up to hear what it sounds like.

arrabbmusssik is better than that video suggests. his last album has at least one great track. uses that "you are now listening to arabmusik" sample WAY TOO MUCH THOUGH

That concept sorta makes sense, but until Skrillex produces a cohesive album as detailed as The Downward Spiral I ain't buying it.

considering nin's first record was about 22 years ago, let's what skrillex is doing in 2033.

spot on, in terms of poster boy-ness. Trent Reznor at least had way fucking more talent and skill.

It's so fucking good!

ahahaha

I can sorta get why TECHNO CASUALS would be into Skrillex. I mean, if your main exposure to music is top 40, used as background noise & never really examined, it's fairly reasonable to assume that upon being exposed to Skrillex you might think "wow, this guy writes a perfectly upbeat pop song & then turns it into an insane wall of noise midway through. What an edgy, subversive dude!"

Of course WATMM spends most of its time listening to, discussing, & producing electronic music, so when we hear it it sounds like some cheesy vst pop (and I say that as a big fan of vsts) with a tacked on basswob section that doesn't so much feel like controlled chaos as a guy flicking through some presets.

If you listen to synth music regularly, & especially if you get a taste for making it yourself, it won't be long before you come to recognize how most popular sounds are made, & it takes an increasingly unique noise to wow you without it having an actual tune behind it. It's like trying to do a card trick for a room full of magicians.

I looked but no find before post, so sorry, so so sorry....MERRY FISTMAS

da skrill genious

Okay, this is amazing. Honestly.

So Skrillex is balls right? But what if Skrillex had a younger fatter brother who basically lived in his brother's shadow and made atrocious wannabe Skrillex brostep that was so poorly made that it hurt to listen to?

Well imagine no more!
