Skrillex Nominated for 5 Grammy Awards!!

By -

It was just announced that Skrillex was nominated for 5 Grammy Awards in 2012. Making electronic music for only a short time, this former emo punk-rocker has been steadily making a huge mark in the EDM scene. The man has been receiving extreme amounts of love and hate from the genre he is most commonly associated with -- Dubstep. Skrillex recently collaborated with KoRn for their forthcoming album, The Path of Totality, on Roadrunner Records, which features collaborations with some other gigantic names in EDM as well: Excision, Feed Me, 12th Planet, Noisia, Downlink, and Kill the Noise.







KoRn has received a lot of hate by many purists in the dubstep scene for their recent claim stating, "We were dubstep before there was dubstep." Obviously, KoRn has some research to do on genres and sub-genres, because their past work is nothing comparable to dubstep. Facebook was flooded with the topic of KoRn claiming to have invented dubstep for the past day -- the topic was brought up constantly, by the minute. With Skrillex's Grammy nomination, a new wave of love (and hate) is sure to emerge. One thing we've noticed is that if you bring up the word Skrillex in any conversation, you better be in it for the long haul, because the controversy is only just beginning.

What are your thoughts on Skrillex's Grammy Nomination? Is it a good step up for EDM?

    It's an evolution of a genre, either you like it or you don't. In most cases that usually means that you either listen to it or you don't, but for some reason even people who don't like him watch his youtube clips just to say they don't like it. Kind of like when your friend says "oh yuck, this burger tastes like shit, do you want it", then you say "Yeah I'll eat that", which suggests that you love the taste of shit. The point, if you don't like the taste of something, then don't eat it :)

Vibrasphere - Selected Downbeats (Vol. 1 & 2)

Vibrasphere  was a psychedelic trance duo from Uppsala, Sweden that was together for 12 full years until they finally ended their project May 2011. While they were most well-known for their psy-trance and live acts, they really caught our ear for their more downtempo beats, most notably their two-volume Selected Downbeats Albums released on the  Cloud 99  label. These albums contain, hands down, some of the best chillout music we have ever heard. Here are some of our favorites from both volumes so you can get a taste for these legends: Vibrasphere - Forever Imaginary Vibrasphere - Manzanilla (2005 Mix) Vibrasphere - All Green Seasons Vibrasphere - Ice Flow Vibrasphere - Northern Sunsets Vibrasphere - Peace of Mind Vibrasphere - Breathing Place Vibrasphere - Buenos Aires (2004 Edit) Vibrasphere - Tierra Azul Vibrasphere - Mountain Lake Vibrasphere - Ensueno Vibrasphere - Fuzzy Vibes Hope you enjoyed the tunes!

We were sent a promo of this vocal garage track a few days back and it really caught our ear. We also found this absolutely beautiful video to go along with the song and felt it was necessary to share it with you all... LAST JAPAN - SETTLE DOWN ft. BOBBIE GORDON (OFFICIAL VIDEO) We did some more research on London-based producer, Marco Giuliani AKA Last Japan, and after browsing through his entire soundcloud page, we were amazed at how diverse of a producer he really was. Spanning through countless genres, this is definitely one producer you'll want to explore more of. This music was taken from the EP 'Settle Down', which will be released September 19th on Four40 Records in both digital and vinyl format.  Listen to   Last Japan - Settle Down ft. Bobbie Gordon   on Soundcloud and preview the entire EP   HERE .
