Skrillex's ingenuity

Skrillex has been either loved or hated all over the world, but he is in fact one of the most Revolutionary music producers in the 21st Century.  Sonny Moore has no longer been classed in the dubstep genre but of a whole new one which hasn't been named. In the 2012 Grammy's they just stated that he made EDM (electronic dance music), and that he couldn't be classed in such a con-formative genre.

Skrillex is also one of the smartest  music producers to date, using lyrics from his own songs to produce the actual backbone of all his recent songs, as well as placing messages and snippets of random things in his songs. Didn't know that did you? Here is a list I compiled myself of the things in His songs, he doesn't do it with all of them, mainly just the ones of his first 2 EP's:

Scary Monsters and Nice Sprites- The jumbled words of the 'Nice Sprite' just sound like jumbled words don't they, like some other language? WRONG!  in fact, the 'jumbled' words are actually given away towards the end of the song. The whole Nice Sprite lyrics is just "I'm just like you, you don't need" played backwards throughout the song. playing through his song normally you will hear at the end; "you don't need to hide my friend, for I'm just like you". thats where he gets the words from.

Equinox (first of the year) - now equinox was a confusing one to decipher as it's actually the lyrics from one of his really old songs Which is actually called Equinox. This song is back when he was just Sonny Moore, fresh out of FFTL (from first to last).

Slats Slats Slats-  the message in this song are just the lyrics from the song "signal" back from when he was Sonny Moore again.

Rock'N'Roll (will take you to the mountain) - I couldn't discern the words in this song, but there is a conversation going on throughout parts of it, and lyrics to one of his old songs, although which song has not been uncovered as of yet.

With you friends- with you friends is hard to understand playing it through normally, but the message is quite clear throughout the song. "I'm alive"



one of the only similar cases like this was a transitioner in a song. Dj- Satomi's 'Castle in the Sky' was a trance hit, making the top 100 in a week, and has stayed there for a long time. he put an transition (snippets in the song from the other song) but making it seem like part of the song, when you listen to any of his songs however, you can hear the similarities in the tune.
