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 :)

Trentemøller Thursday

I reckon Trentemøller Tuesday would have been a more fitting name for this post, but who wants to wait til Tuesday? I'm in the mood for some Trentemøller right now! Trentemøller is an experimental electronic producer that focuses on his unique blend of minimal tech, ambient, and, electro and he's been one of my absolute favorite producers ever since I got into EDM. In fact, I recently just released an  ENiGMA Dubz  Remix of 'Trentemøller - Moan' for FREE DOWNLOAD to help promote the upcoming EP release on  Dank 'N' Dirty Dubz . DANK004 - Trentemøller - Moan (ENiGMA Dubz Remix) [FREE DOWNLOAD INSIDE!] by DANK 'N' DIRTY DUBZ The downloads for this track have maxed out on my personal soundcloud page, but check the track description and you will find an alternative soundcloud link where you can download this track for FREE. Trentemøller  has a huge catalog of amazing songs, but I thought it would be a good idea to make a tracklisting of my 20

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!
