[@aaronspain9]

+Vlad Plays Holy shit

[@connornudelman4088]

omfg, most accurate observation ever

[@danielchater5951]

Fuck... Lol the similarity of their voices is creepy

[@chiya7]

I really like Skrillex in this interview, he's very humble, honest. Very insightful.

[@sunnytex1337]

Hes always like that, not only in this interview ^^

[@christinab.9175]

He's like that in every interview tbh

[@defaulttvofficial]

He's like that no matter what

[@nathanaeltalksgaming5844]

Very happy Skrillex and Diplo are looked as the "leaders" of EDM. The scene is in good hands, much respect.

[@DjDukesMixDrop]

16:27 Skrillex is realizing how often Diplo interrupts him 17:19 Skrillex is finally pissed because Diplo interrupts him the 100th time 18:13 Skrillex is giving it up

[@leahstodola2293]

Hhahahahahha so true

[@joshsalinas9342]

I'm dead this is funny

[@RiRi586]

LOL 17:19

[@dhil3571]

on point! lol

[@Sangarang]

HAHAHAHA this is so accurate

[@marcolerena456]

I've realised that interviews are much more interesting and eye opening when they are conducted by people outside of the scene. Because Charlie isn't aware of what goes on in the dance scene, he asks questions that the typical edm blog interviewer would never think to ask. Granted, some questions make us as fans laugh a little, overall it's a much more interesting interview to watch than most.

[@jimreily7538]

Hi Marco, I am - or was not - a fan of these guys before this interview, but I am a routine Charlie Rose viewer. I am a scientific researcher and medical student and try to watch Charlie Rose for the great interviews he does with Nobel Prize winners. But after watching this, amd listening to some of their music, I am absolutely going to grab the album. I even feel a bit silly just saying that, which reflects how uptight I have become I guess, but honestly, I love that I have found new artists, new musicians. I think Charlie Rose does a huge cultural service by these sort of interviews. Because he introduces people like me, to these sort of musicians - and so he crosses boundaries. And I am glad they decided to go on Charlie Rose, which is maybe outside their usuaI media zone. I am really thankful actually, while I might be mocked in the lab as a wannabe or something, it will be worth it to have great new music to enjoy while working. This is a really wonderful exchange !

[@silverdragon710]

this is why im here!

[@f0kxi]

I didn't know how much of a hero Skrillex would become to me, but he is

[@wolfu5253]

17:22 Sonny's mind: God damn it diplo!

[@dennismosher5454]

lol

[@dennismosher5454]

I was keep playing that part over and over again because I thought it was funny

[@shaymary5247]

+Wolf U That's how I get when ppl try to talk over me, only I will talk right back over them & continuously say "LISTEN!". I don't have patience for that mess!!

[@henrikbergstrom62]

+Wolf U Well, it's Charlie to tells Diplo to speak, listen for him too utter "Wes" to Sonny. So I do believe Sonny's mad at Charlie and not Diplo.

[@poiewhfopiewhf]

+Henrik Bergström oh wow good call

[@razvanon]

diplo has a radio voice, nice voice

[@WTFblondiee]

He used to be a radio DJ :)

[@gemmyd.s711]

ever heard skrillex sing? :)

[@pawelhein9121]

noice voice

[@nobiggietv]

Great interview - you guys should learn from skrillex and compress this audio tho. I had to turn it up all the way

[@arvinmaryami3824]

+NoBiggieTV loool cmon sonny mix his songs way better these days

[@BelenLovesIndie]

+NoBiggieTV i highly recomend people like nicolas jaar or david august also nils frahm now them r the guys that are making EM proud

[@Peacifier]

you here going sexual

[@amalhandley3914]

its pretty compressed lol

[@pete4185]

that would make sense if it weren't for the fact that compression makes the vocals quieter if anything, not louder. quit talkin out your ass.

[@kuyadubs8791]

Watch it at half speed...They all sound stoned xD

[@TheEmeraldEdits]

+cameron edwards ahahahah genious

[@Kansyn]

[@3L3CTR0static]

+cameron edwards LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL

[@djbm5891]

+Adrian Daret lo

[@AlfaFilms1NZ]

I love how the interviewer is so unaware of the scene but that's how his questions are so upfront and insightful. Skrill and diplo both speak to their story really well

[@Jenntrash]

God job with the interview. So happy you talk about canada,quebec,montreal :) i love that you guys talk about giorgio moroder!!!

[@michaeldoster4847]

Enlightening interview! Appreciate the advise about ' the biz', and how you got to where you are. Also, thanks for sharing honestly, and openly. It was evident. GOD bless.

[@JoeMcCabe]

This interview highlights Diplo & Skrillex art-form, there ability to produce music real-time. It also highlights Charlie Rose's art-form, intelligent non-condescending and inquisitive interviewing. Thanks!

[@OkamiWSDwarrior]

I love Sonny’s voice so much. Hes so kind and humble and wise. Hes so inspiring to me.

[@filippeheringer2431]

Great Djs, and Charlie Rose, such a great gentleman, its great to watch his interview.

[@ryanwilkes3171]

God bless you all, Charlie, Skrillex, and (Thomas) Wesley Pentz-Diplo, and all your families! Great music and great interview!

[@JSTONEMUSIK]

Great interview I missed this one.

[@jimreily7538]

What a great interview. These guys are real innovators. I am someone who traditionally would not expect to see these guys on Charlie Rose - but I have been won over by their music, their passion, they have this childlike innocence and enthusiasm. I am in my late twenties but stopped listening to electronic music in the late nineties, and listened mainly to classical from then on. However, I am absolutely going to buy their album, from what I have heard (here and in their music), it would be worth it. I love finding new musicians and new art - whatever the type. (And I am not even an artistic type of person). Awesome stuff.

[@JackSather]

that was an awesome interview.

[@ColbyFitch]

That was awesome! Dip, Skrill & C Rose having an intelligent conversation. Nice.

[@Furple]

Greate interview love these guys there my internet idols !

[@tribalaudio3969]

ProdutyMLG your grammar got me laughing for hours

[@Furple]

Great interview, i love these guys! there are my internet idols !

[@tribalaudio3969]

xD

[@Furple]

oui (-:

[@Furple]

ah bah oui j'ai arrêtez l'école et j'ai beaucoup appris sur le web depuis donc je comprend l'anglais meme si j'ai encore du mal a l'écrire sans faire de fautes de vocabulaire ahah

[@avantgardenovelist]

Compare Skrillex's suspicious expression at 00:10 with his complete turnaround about Rose at 28:42. Pretty cool. Dude's a down-to-earth guy.

[@avantgardenovelist]

If that's true, is it funny or are you just providing information?

[@Mtanic]

Oh at 6:15 Skrillex mistook "complement" with "compliment" :D Cute :D I love them, love love love.

[@Pulse2AM]

Break down those walls! Great interview and thanks for doing what you're doing, kicking down some doors for other musicians that think like U.

[@coolgirl614]

Such well spoken guys. Excellent interview.

[@dna8269]

Good interview from all 3 guys. Skrillex & Diplo really represent the scene well

[@elizaheathen]

jesus fucking christ could diplo interrupt skrillex ANY MORE OFTEN

[@ceciliajuarez3575]

lol i was thinking the same thing

[@shaymary5247]

+moiraine_damodred Poor Skrillz. -___- He was at least calm, nice, & genuine, but he did look frustrated. Even tho Diplo seems cool, he talked WAY too much! >___O

[@atomsk1972]

+moiraine_damodred Thank you. Diplo came off very image conscious ... 'oh, wait I might get left behind if Skrillex talks. I gotta hype myself'. Skrillex felt real, Skrillex felt fake.

[@shaymary5247]

I have this bad vibe that Diplo's more in it for himself, even possibly trying to convince Skrillex to doing some things he'd not normally want to do, but Skrillz puts up w. it- to a fault, or for now at least... Diplo gives me dark vibes.

[@djbm5891]

lol

[@Stormanimal08]

Pls guys come near Germany... can't wait to cu live you're so awesome

[@povthehelper]

Thank u so much for this interview!!😍😍🔥 Being inspired!!

[@Deedee-fv1no]

Great interview- Two geniuses 🙌

[@lunathemoon64]

I never imagined that they'd appear on Charlie Rose.... 0.0

[@vexivoia8063]

Interesting interview. Learned a lot. Great interview, with a lot of points covered by Charlie, bless his heart, but I sense a tense atmosphere between Sonny and Wes. Just me? Maybe. Whatever the reason, I adore each of these people on screen for different reasons, and I hope they continue to excel at the crafts they've been given.

[@miraeguk]

Really insightful interview!

[@artgrl73]

Loved this interview

[@jenniferford5208]

Love the vibes. Mixed waves of the past and the future of what is real of sound. Making your mark on the generation of music lovers is what you did! A new sound that penetrates the soul. Love you guys!!!

[@beatvillainz]

They are both articulate, intelligent and objective during this interview ; projecting respect for each others time when expressing their experience and view points ...

[@skinniesANDtitties]

i hate how charlie rose tries to make the conversation about money every two minutes....

[@Lemonayyd]

Sonny was better solo... Just saying, even though they make good music, I just miss Sonny's natural talent.

[@troym40]

+JohnDaEpic I mean it's not like Skrillex isn't still producing music on his own

[@blueturtle4825]

+JohnDaEpic I agree ...you doesn't have that "zing" he had before :(

[@joshsalinas9342]

Not just diplo but other artist too. and he kinda lost his old style of music after his album recess is slowly started to go away. I just wish I could travel back to 2011,12,13 Too see him where he was very encouraged. Because listen here. Once you are a succsesfull artist you do not have to work as hard bc you are already sucsessfull, well skrillex used to sleep on a couch back in 2009 2010 (My mom actually knows the lady that let him sleep on her couch XD) But he was encouraged to be successful and make it so he worked hard and found that style but now that he mad it i guess it doesnt really matter anymore

[@spaceowl5957]

I think He was better at dubstep than at what he does now. But dubstep is dead...

[@svlf1freak207]

So much respect for these producers and there filosophies :)

[@WeabeOfficialMusic]

Creative, talented human beings!!

[@scorgonjon2k231]

To me, Jack Ü will forever be iconic.

[@HebrewsElevenTwentyFive]

I have so much respect for these guys.

[@WowTheFans]

Where Are Ü gave me goosebumps the first time I heard it.

[@Levariin]

I love these guys

[@UnamaeCahill-hq9vo]

they are so intelligent - I love this interview so much :)

[@kosmonautofficial296]

awesome interview

[@ferg24]

Saw them at hangout fest, best time of my life

[@chris-x-cross4023]

Diplo's Voice is so Deep. I want , that He Makes with Skrillex a Second Jack Ü Album (Maybe 2016) ans his Second Studioalbum .

[@gabrielskrillerolujan2025]

"The fucking Master :D Skrillex ooo yeah"

[@milesartizada]

Too much respect for these guys!!! 😍

[@TheHersey]

Stoked Skrillex still has his Shambhala wrist band on!

[@eileen1820]

Skrillex is the only Emo that smiles. Love that :)

[@sonexog7757]

He isnt emo

[@Pipipop1243]

he used to be emo but not anymore doe

[@glenn1975]

I've always been beyond impressed with sonny's hats, kicks, snares.. I used to have some of his old old songs, "come from the heart", another one i can't remember, that laptop was stolen.. he's been working for so long and so obsessively over every aspect I don't know the proper terms for beyond frequencies and transients.. haha.

[@Gorillazmonster]

very good would that enabled the obcion of language translation for many Latinos know what is said in the interview ... thanks

[@robert10197]

They're both so well spoken

[@bigbossdj]

subtitles will be great. nice doc

[@DJAZAlwayz]

DAMN YOU SOUNDCLOUD!!! ... was just listening to a song that got shortened from 3:30 to 49 seconds!!

[@chloealexisharris602]

goosebumpss!! thaats exactly itt

[@mlrdmn]

Nice Job pushing the culture forward Sonny + Wes!

[@jnesscasey3295]

My heart 😘😘Skrillex and Diplo

[@eileen1820]

Where R Ü Now video wld be so much better if they slightly slowed the art frames. It sÜcks to not see it AT ALL.

[@illgeneration]

Good interview

[@JONYFAKEPUBGMOBILE]

skrillex 👽👽👽

[@M4TTYN]

Love Sonny and Wes their the best! and i fucking hate when ppl say this what they do is "easy" it's fuckin not and it's deeper then what all think it is and i hope to meet them and talk w/ them and just vibe out!

[@aliensalvation9284]

The part about soundcloud is so true. I've actually unfollowed artists (yes including skrillex), and chosen not to follow certain artists because of them having only having previews available. I love skrillex still, but there's not point following on soundcloud if I can't hear the tunes. Interesting interview nonetheless. Keep creating!

[@axelnussbaumer]

0:20 Old people must be so confused hearing this shit.

[@shawn106]

***** amazing!

[@lauritzmh]

***** you almost fooled me

[@leonalirangues3340]

Axel Nussbaumer Not at all. I'm one of the old people. Very cool. Took me a bit of time to wrap my head around it. Your generation is doing its thing. The way it should be.

[@dennismosher5454]

lol ikr

[@majik5194]

I'm confused and I'm 14

[@gemzzwhoa]

Diplo is my musical idol.

[@KidsOnKrazy]

Skrillex looks like he gets beat by Diplo. I can only imagine him as Channing Tatum and Diplo is Danny Mcbirde from the movie this is the end

[@avantgardenovelist]

15:15-15:25 Those are ten profound seconds; the process he's referring to applies to lots of things, writing, etc.

[@nkaKAMPBELL]

As Skrillex is wearing a festival wristband

[@melvinerodriguezsulu3022]

Great dj´s they are awesome

[@oklol9004]

Lol. Wes was all about making things big for parties and Sonny was like Nah, Man we bring people together no matter what it is its just about bringing people together.

[@TheNoobsOfMining]

Diplo is interrupting Sonny every time

[@imjustsayinmann2457]

When they can produce song in very short period of time, that's a sign they are talented. They sounded smart in this interview

[@ironicjoke6190]

I think Sonny looks nice his imperfections only makes him human! ^_^

[@OfficialAdamWest]

Electronic music isn't about competing, it's about having each other's back.

[@kittehnoir]

man diplo and skrillex both really know how to put on a show

[@mikediz5900]

I always think of Corey Feldman when I see skrillex

[@annagoethe3941]

I kinda of want to hear a Adele and Skillerex collab who is with me.

[@adminnimda2954]

hello from the hello from the hello hello hell hell hell BOWWWWUWBUBUBUB HELLO WUBUBUBUBUBU UBUBUBUB EEEEEEEEHEHWAHAHHHHAHAHAHAEWWWWWWWWEEEEEEE BEWWWUBUBUBUB

[@josec7768]

there should be a compilation of skittles getting interrupted

[@redruby0058]

nethersplay s I think you mean skrillex not skittles

[@kachun1010]

WHAT GLASSES AND SHIRT ARE THOSE? FROM DIPLO

[@ApriliaRacer14]

Yeah we're collaborative, and the QC is very collaborative. We're from the outside, and collaborate and have a high QC factor. We play festivals with rap stars with live energy collaboratively with high QC.

[@gen_music]

I want to see theme perform any music instrument:))

[@FinalDay]

Diplo has such a deep voice

[@El_Dusty_]

I would take Sonny's comments one step farther and say they are creating the soundtrack for a lot of young peoples lives including my own. Jack UUUUU!

[@JohnBissonnette]

Winning the lottery of life.

[@sunnytex1337]

True...true

[@vasstofficial]

what's that first song with them live in this video pls ;-;

[@rmirabelle]

Hey guys: There's a logical precept that would be perfect to include in your future responses to questions regarding your association with drugs: CORRELATION DOES NOT IMPLY CAUSATION.

[@TheBigBadRuppman]

Very cool

[@Finestdeity]

The interviewer is cute. Not physically attractive but more like when you teach an old man about computers for the first time. He was so lost. Lol. He knew nothing about the genre. But I like that he appeared to be interested.

[@sashapentovmusic]

Charlie Rose interviews Jonah Hill & Joel Kinnaman

[@m169marroquin]

Although I do miss the garage band days, the music industry is so greedy and effed up now that you do have to put together your own music just to make a living and to reach your fans. These guys have the right idea.

[@ngwilkum]

why the fuck is the audio so jacked up on this interview?>

[@newpoff6867]

When did songs start being referred to as records?

[@nickmorin2945]

+Newpoff I think it's an artist thing

[@tanscot1]

Newpoff When DJ's took over the music scene.

[@ceciliajuarez3575]

i wonder if people look at skrillex and say " skrillex looks happy in the video, but he looks bored in the interveiw"

[@katyluz14]

Traducenlo al español!! Por favor

[@LilmanMasik]

HUGE ENERGY ya ya.. hahaha so much energy

[@danielhuerta6913]
