Skrillex destroyed our perception of the beauty of Dubstep with his obnoxiously American, over-maximalist approach to a genre that achieves maximalism through minimal gear. Original Dubstep is proper life changing. There are a few great documentaries on Youtube, but I also keep a playlist of the stuff on deck because of how incredible it is.

Skrillex my goat
Jan 31, 2025
my dad had a friend who kept up with music and wasn’t stuck in the 70s/80s like my dad is and he was showing Technologic by Daft Punk to my dad in our living room and I remember little 6 year old me going absolutely feral to it. i’d never heard anything like it before and I just kept asking them to play it again so I could “break dance” (flail around wildly) to it. that’s the first time I remember being captivated by a song like that
years later my brother showed me Kill Everybody by Skrillex and I remember asking him if it was Daft Punk because that’s the only thing I could think of that sounded remotely similar. ended up getting super into skrillex and between ages 11-13 I pretty much exclusively listened to skrillex, and mostly rips from youtube of old/unreleased stuff. skrillex got me into a bunch of other artists through his label OWSLA that’s defunct now but had a sick lineup between 2012-2016 that was super foundational to my music tastes.

I moved to London a couple months ago. Last week, I saw The Dare live & in person for the first time, so I wrote about it for my blog. Give it a read if you got a couple minutes :)

A.G’s record is his best to date, but lengthy. Had he cut out some of the slower cuts it would be undeniably incredible. Really great stuff all around tho.
Its finally getting warm enough to enjoy Turnstile, too. Glow On is a record that radiates warmth through meaty punk riffs, surf rock melodies and intensive drumming.
