Skrillex Interview
January 18th, 2011 | By Shiraz شیراز Myl
On Friday Marshall A called me up and said “Want to interview Skrillex tonight atSugar?” I had heard Skrillex’s name around, but having not listened to much
dubstep I hadn’t heard much of his music. Regardless I’m always down to do an
interview so I said sure asked if Sami Barker would come to shoot some photos and
grabbed my recorder.
I’m super glad we did it. Sonny is not only a talented musician, but also a very cool, down to earth and approachable guy. After the interview he invited the few press people who were there to stick around and celebrate his birthday with him. Out came the Grey Goose and Red Bull and the half hour before the set started was spent hanging around and chatting.
The show itself was insane. If you haven’t heard Skrillex’s music on a proper set of speakers, you haven’t really heard his music. And if you haven’t heard his music at all, get on it, because it will come to you sooner or later. He recently released his EP Scary Monsters and Nice Sprites, which proke a record by holding eight of top ten list on Beatport, as well as taking the #1 spot with the EP’s title track. Below the pictures you’ll find some of his music and a video of the birthday welcome Victoria gave him.
The interview below begins with Marshall A asking a few questions, after which I take over. Thanks again to Alvaro at Blueprint Events for setting this up and to Sami Barker for snapping some great shots (You can see the rest of them here)
