“There are, theoretically, several precedents to the physics of Skrillex’s sound. You take a bit of Vitalic, then add a dash of Daft Punk’s ‘Harder Better Faster Stronger’. Season with crunk’s in-the-red energy levels and brostep’s metal-on-bone gait, then supercharge with Michael Bay’s approach to understatement and the sound of his Transformers transforming. What you’ve got is the Red Bull-guzzling Godzilla-vs-Las Vegas sound of EDM.”
The Quietus on Skrillex and EDM
The Michael Bay bit on understatement is pretty spot on.
