Grammy nominations

Someone needs to update this page with his 2012 grammy nominations. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Broicide (talk • contribs) 10:48, 1 December 2011 (UTC) https://wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/Special:LandingCheck?landing_page=L11_0101_SG&language=en&country=US I agree with this, here is an external link to an article that appears to be a very good resource for this subject. - http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1675223/grammy-nominations-skrillex.jhtml - Roythename (talk) 04:51, 24 December 2011 (UTC)

Nominating for lock

Rumours are circulating the internet that Skrillex has been killed in the London riots. Someone described his body as "burned and mangled." These rumours, however, are almost certainly false, and have not been verified by any sources. It's already been added to this page once, and removed shortly after, and I imagine that it's only going to get worse as the rumour swells. So yeah, lock please. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Thatguykalem (talk • contribs) 05:23, 9 August 2011 (UTC)

I don't know about the rumors but a few friends of mine hung out with him a few nights ago, so he is most certainly alive and well. As for the lock nomination, I nominate it for lock as well, there has just been too much vandalism and random edits each day that do not add to the page's quality, or improve it in any way.

Article fails notability

This is particularly addressed to the anonymous editor at 76.66.136.221, who seems far more concerned with the addition of links to a fan site than improving the article.

Currently this article has no cites outside those on the fan sites that refer to this artist. As such it currently fails Wikipedia policy on notability for musicians and bands. The only other cites on the article don't actually mention Sonny Moore at all.

Unless cites can be found to establish Sonny Moore's notability the article will be put up for deletion. --Escape Orbit ^(Talk) 09:49, 18 August 2008 (UTC)

Did you actually click the links at all? Obviously you didn't. The very first link is Sonny Moore's official MySpace. It is the closest thing to an official website at the moment. It is NOT fansite. The final link is the Alternative Press Tour 2008 website, a tour that he took part in, and yes, it does in fact mention him. So, no, it does not fail Wikipedia's expectations. Maybe you should try being a little more observant and a little less pompous. --Skrillpac ^(Talk) 18:45, 18 August 2008 (UTC)

Hi Skrillpac. Please remain civil. Yes, I did click on the links and yes I did read them. Where does the Alternative Press Tour 2008 website mention Sonny Moore? If it is to function as a reference and be verifiable the link should take the reader directly, or near to, to the mention. I shouldn't have to look through the whole website in order to find him.

The other cites refer to the fansite. Fansites are not generally accepted as reputable sources, particularly when they're the only source. While having an official MySpace link is good, having a MySpace website is not an indication of notability. --Escape Orbit ^(Talk) 20:49, 18 August 2008 (UTC)

The Alternative Press Tour page appears to have somewhat of a glitch. At the very bottom they mention Sonny and his involvement with the Alt Press 2008 Tour, however it's black on black. You can only seem to read it if you scroll over it and highlight the text. I've added more external links now supporting my stance.--Skrillpac ^(Talk) 21:04, 18 August 2008 (UTC)

Thanks. Article is much improved now. --Escape Orbit ^(Talk) 17:15, 20 August 2008 (UTC)

Sexuality?

On a recent Facebook post Sonny Moore, under the alias 'Skrillex', mentioned having a boyfriend. Are there any reports on his sexual orientation? Has he ever been outspoken about it and if he is homosexual is he a campaigner for rights? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ted93 (talk • contribs) 06:51, 21 February 2011 (UTC)

I just saw him tweet this: http://twitter.com/Skrillex/status/39561420412551168 and came here to check it out. I guess he is gay, but he doesn't make a big deal of it, which is cool, because it shouldn't be a big deal. I don't think it's worth putting ont he main page.60.240.32.184 (talk) 14:34, 21 February 2011 (UTC)

I do think he's gay, not that it really matters. http://twitter.com/#!/Skrillex/status/62420618267734016 He doesn't campaign for anything as far as I know, and it could still be a joke in this context. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.57.133.183 (talk) 07:44, 25 April 2011 (UTC) I'm not sure whether he is gay or not but I am positive this tweet is a joke as the person he is referring to is a label mate and he is strait for sure. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.245.67.185 (talk) 02:31, 25 May 2011 (UTC)

Now what, are you unsure or are you sure about his sexuality? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 188.62.216.27 (talk) 16:46, 10 July 2011 (UTC)

Is this really necessary for his talk page? I don't think it is really our business whether he is or not. I understand sort of why the original poster brought this to attention, but I doubt even if it were to be added that twitter or facebook are considered reliable sources. Please save all conversation relating to gossip on twitter and facebook, not here. Please remember that this page is reserved for discussing Sonny Moore's page on Wikipedia.

Korn working with Skrillex

I don't know much about Skrillex, but as a fan of Korn I hope you all add something about their collaboration. Link from Spin on it [1]. Hope this helps the article along. Devilmanozzy (talk) 17:25, 14 April 2011 (UTC)

Dubstep vs. Electro house

Guys no offence but have you even listened to Skrillex? I'd say his sound is more influenced by dubstep than electro house. I think we should change the introduction to either dubstep artist or dubstep/electro house artist. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.23.49.209 (talk) 21:00, 3 May 2011 (UTC)

These genres have very hazy lines where one ends and another doesn't. It'll be hard for anyone to agree on what is dubstep and what isn't, but if you want to go by the technical, production-based definition, he isn't dubstep. Especially lately, his work has been far more electro and house oriented. Cronus616 (talk) 21:53, 12 May 2011 (UTC)

I agree entirely with Cronus616 that it can be very difficult to distinguish between EDM genres and that people often disagree on what is and is not dubstep. However, it seems to me that the "wobble" and drops present in much of his work would place it in the dubstep genre, whether one looks at albums such as Scary Monsters and Nice Sprites or some of his newer songs, such as Equinox, Cinema, and Nothing Yet (which he played at Ultra; I have not yet been able to find a true "official release"). It would be helpful for me if you could maybe explain more about the technical, production-based definition you refer to. (Aqquatic (talk) 02:36, 19 May 2011 (UTC))

Obligatory comment: wobbles and drops have nothing to do with dubstep. Tracks like "The Disco Rangers Bus", "Rock N Roll", "All I Ask of You", "Reptile's Theme" (and so on) are much more house than they are dubstep. Since pretty much everything he does has elements of electro house, and this is not true for dubstep, I would be happier for electro house to stay in the lede. I'd be willing to discuss putting both though. doomgaze (talk) 11:26, 19 May 2011 (UTC)

I'm certainly not making the claim that anything with wobble and drops is dubstep, but as the wikipedia page about dubstep lists them as important characteristics of some styles of dubstep, I figured I should at least bring it up? Putting both seems like a good solution imo. (Aqquatic (talk) 21:12, 19 May 2011 (UTC))

I would like to mention that there is a very easy way to tell what is electro and what is dubstep. IF the tempo is fast but the drums are in half time it is dubstep. Scatta Cinema remix and Scary Monsters are dubstep. Electro house tracks are four on the floor meaning a kick drum is used on every beat and the tempo is slower (but the drums are faster.) I don't think it would be bad to put electro house/dubstep considering his most popular song is dubstep but most are electro house. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.245.67.185 (talk) 02:29, 25 May 2011 (UTC)

This is... an inaccurate generalization. A track we can all mostly agree is dubstep, Weekends, has a common time beat, while Get Up, another track we can all mostly agree is not dubstep, has a cut-time snare. It's totally my opinion, but dubstep is really just an obscure genre of house that features a wobbling bassline, and a wobbling bassline is not enough to convert electro or house into dubstep. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Cronus616 (talk • contribs) 17:53, 27 May 2011 (UTC)

No weekends is definitely electro-house. Its four on the floor 128 bpm (if a song has a 128 bpm it is not dubstep,) and uses a hard base line this is as electro-house as it gets. If you don't take my word for it here it is on beatport: http://beta.beatport.com/#/search?query=Weekends!!!+feat.+Sirah. These arn't just meaningless nuances the 1 12 of dubstep is just so different from the 1 2 3 4 of house. Get Up, you're right is not dubstep but it's not electro-house either so that point makes no sense. You then go onto to say a wobbling baseline isn't enough to make a song dubstep which is exactly the point I'm making which is why most of his songs are electro-house because they are 128 four on the with heavy baseline. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.245.134.59 (talk) 23:13, 31 May 2011 (UTC)

Dubstep has its roots in UK Garage and Dub. It's not a subgenre of House, it can very well be 128BPM, it doesn't have to have wobble basses. It usually has more "real" drumbeats with kicks and snares, unlike House that uses four to the floor synthetic kickdrums. Even if Skrillex has a few Dubstep tracks (or Dubstep parts in them) and remixes, most of his works seem to be Electrohouse.

It's brostep - not sure how to do this conversation thing properly, but the music is definitely [brostep].

He's not really making proper dubstep, but the pop version of it called "brostep" by some. This style is influenced by midrange bass lines which can be found in electro house tracks. BeŻet (talk) 12:04, 18 October 2011 (UTC)

Listen to some Skream, Loefah, or Mala, etc and then tell me he's closer to dubstep than electro house. A lot of his songs also have a four on the floor beat, which dubstep does not. I think he has more songs that I would call house than songs I would call dubstep. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.49.207.117 (talk) 07:33, 6 November 2011 (UTC)

Well, he never claims to produce just dubstep. He knows he's making house and whatever else. I guess dubstep, house, and glitch do pretty well describe how his music sounds. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.49.207.117 (talk) 19:40, 25 November 2011 (UTC)

Wikipedia does not contain information that editors have worked out by comparing one musician to others. That is original Research and not permitted. Wikipedia contains information that is sourced to reliable sources. It's what they say that matters. --Escape Orbit ^(Talk) 15:22, 6 November 2011 (UTC)

I'm removing the "electro" from his genres, I don't think this should start an argument as if we look at wikipedias definition of electro it's clearly not the style of Skrillex. Not to be confused with electro house which obviously many of his songs are. Also I'm going to take down complextro, although his sound could be described by that term we really get into murky waters as then we will also start having brostep and other debatable sub genres when we mine as well keep it simple as "complextro" falls under electro house. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Blt33 (talk • contribs) 16:42, 12 November 2011 (UTC)

I think dubstep should be removed from genres. At least put it at the bottom. He rarely does dubstep. He calls what he does "bass music." It's just, everyone now decided to call all popular electronica "dubstep." Base wobbles do not necessitate dubstep. Dubstep comes from dub music which is essentially electronic reggae. The step is for the drum. --24.107.39.224 (talk) 22:53, 4 February 2012 (UTC)

how bout this? We call it a new genre called . . . wait for it . . . SKRILLEX!! on a serious note. He's making both dubstep and electro house. and he also makes progressive house. I like to think of him as hard style. but really he is making a new genre, it just haven't been officailly named yet. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.176.7.233 (talk) 23:05, 5 March 2012 (UTC)

Well I believe that Skrillex does have his genre, but it would have its own meaning. For example when he worked with Korn on the song Get Up he proved that even this genre can sound good with the simplest backbeats and a synthesizer. I approve of any remix done by this young man, he has shown this generation what a little imagination and some natural talent will do to your dreams with the right motivation. I was able to met him at a concert and he explained that reason he does this dubstep/electro house music it was cause he knew that people could put their genuine feeling into his music. Skrillex will continue to do this till the day that society rejects this specific genre and puts him in mental institution. SKRILLEX FOREVER!!! P.L.U.R. for real. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 166.250.9.177 (talk) 19:40, 10 March 2012 (UTC)

Scary Monsters and Nice Sprites Formats

The article currently lists it as being available as a digital download, CD, and LP.

Post-Hardcore Genre

I think we can all agree Skrillex definately does not belong to the 'Post-Hardcore' genre. His music features no elements of the punk era or even the same instrumentation for that matter. Bands belonging to the genre such as Underoath or Pierce the Veil and clearly Skrillex bears no resemblance. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 141.211.234.136 (talk) 14:24, 21 June 2011 (UTC)

From First to Last were post-hardcore though, and he was their frontman, so I'd argue that the genre belongs on the person's page, just not individual Skrillex solo albums, which it isn't. HitMeWIthMuzak (talk) 15:53, 22 June 2011 (UTC)

Post-hardcore is a must; the page is about him, not just his most recent musical project. doomgaze (talk) 16:28, 22 June 2011 (UTC)

I think that somebody should also add a "with From First to Last" section to his discography and list the 2 albums. I'd do it, but I don't know how — Preceding unsigned comment added by 204.249.68.196 (talk) 18:56, 25 June 2011 (UTC)

My Name Is Skrillex (Skrillex Remix) and "Amplifire"

Skrillex released for the "Project Blue Book European Tour" a remix of his own song, "My Name Is Skrillex". This remix was later up for download as "My Name Is Skrillex (Skrillex Remix). This should be included in the list of remixes under the year 2011

it should also be noted that "amplifier" should not be listed because it is an original track. It was a collaboration between Diplo and Skrillex, not a remix of Diplo.

and if the track is ever put up in another category or such, it should be noted that it is spelled Amplifire rather than Amplifier. I know the real word 'amplifier' is spelled like that, but 'Amplifire' is the name it was given. Gurochu (talk) 05:50, 15 August 2011 (UTC)

Scary Monsters And Nice Sprites chart position

Scary Monsters And Nice Sprites debuts this week at #24 on the Bubbling Under Chart in the U.S. which is equivilent to (#124) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.159.83.93 (talk) 17:06, 12 August 2011 (UTC)

It's not equivalent. Quoting from our article about it (obviously not a reliable source, but still) " It lists the top 25 singles below number 100 that have not yet charted on the Billboard Hot 100". So if a track is at number 100 last week and drops to number 101 this week, it's not at #1 on the bubbling under because it has charted before. Therefore placing SMaNS at #124 would be pure speculation and guesswork. doomgaze (talk) 17:16, 12 August 2011 (UTC)

Cuts/Remixes of Skrillex

There are cut or remixed versions of "Scary Monsters and Nice Sprites". A YouTube user-generated Melodic Cut version of such song has a lot less DubStep/Drop and also features extra Vocoder and extra DnB at the end. The creator of this cut is currently not in any legal trouble, yet is allowing free downloads of his remix. Is this illegal, and if so, why has the link not been removed, although he has already been put under review by Skrillex's publishers? L33t97

Personally I think this page should be called Sonny Moore. First reason is because that's his real name.

Deadmau5 is Joel Zimmerman's real name but you don't hear of him going around telling people, "No it's deadmau5 not Joel!" Stage name doesn't equal real name & we should call people their name regardless of what fame they have.

Skrillex doesn't consider his music dubstep, so he shouldn't be labeled as such. His music contains elements of dubstep, but it doesn't consistently follow dubstep enough for dubstep to be considered its genre. Skrillex's music is house and electronica. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Inrar (talk • contribs) 07:01, 4 January 2012 (UTC)

 Not done He makes dubstep, his music contains elements of dubstep. It doesn't matter what he thinks of his own music. Wagner ^u t c 17:40, 5 January 2012 (UTC)

Edit Request: Production Career (2008-2011)

1. It's now 2012 and he's still producing.
2. It says he's playing nine dates in the UK from 10th - 20 January when his site only shows seven. A citation is also needed here and the tour dates are on his site.
3. REDIRECT [[3]]

I've removed the years from the Production Career heading. They're not needed anyway. I can see nine dates in the UK on his website http://www.skrillex.com/tour-dates/ --Escape Orbit ^(Talk) 00:23, 24 January 2012 (UTC)

Please do not remove past discussions from this page. Have you actually looked at what the article says? I can't see where it says anything at all about January. All I've done is made the dates in February more exact and added a cite to his website. --Escape Orbit ^(Talk) 18:01, 24 January 2012 (UTC)

Thank you, I wanted to edit the request after I reread it because I was unclear. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Leah.pottinger (talk • contribs) 21:59, 24 January 2012 (UTC)

under "genres", electronica needs to be listed

Skrillex doesn't produce dubstep, it's brostep and it's been proven, nuff said

From First to Last

While Sonny Moore was still in From First to Last did he also provide unlcean vocals? – 124.179.18.63 (talk) 10:44, 8 February 2012 (UTC)

Grammy Awards

I think it should be noted that he won 3 grammys, out of 5 nominations. --101.160.181.203 (talk) 05:30, 13 February 2012 (UTC) Lachie Bennett - Lewis

Just to be clear...

After watching him standing at a desk pushing some buttons on the Grammy's I'm a little confused. Does this person compose/create the music we're hearing or does he play other people's work? I can't tell from this article so it would do good from a "writing for audience" perspective to clarify that. Thanks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.23.20.81 (talk) 19:23, 13 February 2012 (UTC)

He doesn't "push buttons", in the sense that he hits play and bang, there's the song (though, it does happen sometimes in the case of live shows, but I won't get into that). It's more complex than you think. Just like any other form of music, it takes time to make. To give an example, Deadmau5 worked on "Professional Griefers" over the span of TWO YEARS. Granted, he was on tour for a good portion of it, but that's besides the point. Every form of music takes time and effort to make. Just because computers are involved doesn't mean it isn't music. To answer your question though, YES. He does compose and create ALL of his music (other than remixes, obviously he didnt write the original song). — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jz113 (talk • contribs) 21:30, 13 October 2012 (UTC)

Edit Request on 22 February 2012

I found a video [4] that says Sonny Moore's "Skrillex" alias existed in 2007, when the article says 2008. Since only admins, sysops or whatever they're called can edit protected pages, maybe this would be worth citing? --142.166.194.92 (talk) 23:15, 22 February 2012 (UTC)

Update for awards

He was also nominated for MTV IGGY's Best New Band in 2011, can someone please update? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.224.209.241 (talk) 03:25, 23 February 2012 (UTC)
