The new Skrillex (aka Sonny Moore) album took me by complete surprise. Seems like just yesterday he released “My Name Is Skrillex,” which he recorded, produced and released on his own early in the summer. You can download it free here. His remix of “In For the Kill” and “Alejandro” earned him most of his acclaim early on. His talents didn’t go unnoticed. Recently signed to Deadmau5’s Mau5trap Recordings, Skrillex wasn’t about to disappoint with his latest titled “Scary Monsters and Nice Sprites.” I’ve never heard electronic and dubstep so seamlessly intertwined in the way that Skrillex does. A lot of it is from his hardcore background as the frontman in From First To Last. He leads you up to the dubstep breakdowns with fast paced, sliced-and-diced, electronic samples and then drops into the nastiest, hurricane of bass and wobbles. If horror was a genre, this would definitely fall into it. He doesn’t seem to give us a break with his constant releases of tracks/remixes/albums, and this seems to be only the beginning.
