Guest Edit #19: Skrillex

  • Mon, 2010-11-22 11:54

Skrillex has landed.

He's been seriously stirring things up with his slick productions of full on, bass heavy electronic music and now he's come over to I Like Music to lay down his Guest Edit.

He starts with his 20 track playlist (which you can stream below). It's packed with headphone tearing tremors; weighty bass, dark musings and the occasional surprise, giving us an exclusive insight into his listening habits.

He's also written about a Track, Album and Video. Apparently he wrote this for us on a plane. THANKS SRILLEX.

Skrillex Playlist



Skrillex Track

This is easily the most underrated electronic EP of 2010. I love the mixture of breaks, disco electro house and funk. It’s like Prodigy meets Daft Punk meets Justice. I don’t think anybody’s really doing anything like this. Phonat’s production is amazing and has always been a big influence in my music.

Phonat - Cockroaches EP
1. Intimate Confessions
2. Cockroaches
3. Spliff Dub
4. The Microwave FX


Skrillex Album

This could go into my Top Five electronic records of all time. It’s amazing front to back. Noisia started out pioneering drum & bass and progressed even more since then to make this masterpiece of an album that’s much more than your traditional dnb record. Some of the most amazing sound design and engineering too, this is one of my “go to” records. Not to mention they’re some of the coolest guys I’ve had the pleasure working / hanging with.

AND FINALLY: Skrillex presents his favourite video OF ALL TIME...

Readers of I Like Music,

I’ve got nothing to say other than this girl is my hero:

Skrillex.
