SkrIllex music back then was like a perfect mash of Daft Punk's sampling, Justice's production style, Aphex Twin's song structures and melodies and Noisia's intense bass.

[@GuilhermeGuidugli]

Can definitely hear a mix of Justice/Carpenter Brut here. Wish that part lasted longer.

[@thomascatty379]

***** Ok let me explain my definition of 'Old School' to you. Skrillex started to be popular in 2010 with his Scary Monsters EP. This track was made current 2010. It doesn't mean it's old; it only means that as one of his first track it can be considered old school. Since then, his songs have changed a lot in terms of style and tones. I'm 22.

That was excellent and for those of you asking...there are tiny sample snips of old disco songs in there. I heard several different sounds from old songs...Bee Gees to name one...and Skrillex is using sounds as his palate to create amazing electronic musical paintings.

Gavin Johnson Didn't say it was 2 years old. Just meant to say that music produced post 2000 seems to have a shorter shelf life in the public eye. To the masses songs tend to "lose their luster".

[@187nellybelly]

This track makes me want to lay down some fierce robotic dance moves

[@nomad1517]

I think one reason this stuff doesn't get made anymore is it takes too much time. I'm starting to hear more producers make more minimalist stuff. More clean and crisp sounding productions. Plus this sound is very era specific. It sounds very 2010s. But for it's time, it's actually scary how good it is. I remember hearing this when I was getting out of middle school and I had no clue what it was. It sounded like everything I loved mixed together into a single style. Skrillex wasn't a dubstep producer completely. He made dubstep tracks here and there, but he really made electronic music heavy and poppy. Skrillex is the Metallica of dance music really.

[@joshthompson1755]

getting those Justice vibes from the sampling. ❤

[@prestonpayton3852]

A lot like My Name Is Skrillex

[@nomad1517]

He basically took stuff from artists like Justice, Daft Punk, Aphex twin, Excicion, Noisia, and essentially made it into his own thing, He wasn't even into Dubstep until he saw downlink, and 12th planet in LA, this was when these artists were like, really underground. Some of them must have went to england and met Benga, or Skream and took stuff from them and brought it over to the US. But skrillex also knew how to write songs, since he was in a already famous band, he had song writing experience and not just drop bass. His albums told a story, rather than just random shit. His biggest idol was micheal jackson as a kid. So really he infused a lot of pop aspects with heavier electronic styles and you got yourself a new style of EDM basically. But he also puts on amazing shows, and is a true frontman, very few DJs are like that.

[@Bluezexmas]

Well spoken

[@ragtimegals]

He is an incredibly talented musical genius, to me regardless of who inspired him, he would’ve come up with something incredible. I hate daft punk and Michael Jackson but I luuuuuuv Skrillex. And From First to Last, he can do any genre authentically and innovate them

If you guys are wondering why this song isn't featured on any of Skrillex's EPs, so was I, and I just found out why.

Was going through my hard drive of ableton sets and found this old guy lying around. Enjoy!" It's such a dirty song and I can't believe he just FOUND IT LYING AROUND =O
