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.
theres this whole theory where Skrillex (during this first era) was originally an collective of Sonny & other famous musicians production. where it was a "group" but Sonny was the "face" of Skrillex. i remember reading Noisia helped out, but it was only a pretty interesting theory im pretty sure
Uhh.. that dude could make this look bad now!? What are saying.. going to hip hop opens up his reservoir to make music combining the genres. One of the best producers of our time. Cant say that for most electronic/dubstep artists
***** 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.
+Adam Łojewski OH I would love to know how you are planning to dance to this. In my head I grow six more arms and do the frickin squid.. No but seriously how do you imagine this song in clubs?
Sonny released this right around when he had semi-admitted his love for the French electronic scene and I've realized that this track sounds a lot like something sebastiAn would've produced
Yesss absolutely, I was looking for this comment, it sounds a lot like Justice and even more like SebastiAn, Skrillex admitted that he was a big fan of both
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".
The amount of effort Sonny puts into tracks like Cat Rats is the amount every artist needs to. I'm not a perfect artist, and yet through learning from him I've began to develop skills that convince me I am near perfect just because of the effort put into the music.
This was so ahead of its time, you don’t even hear producers making stuff like skrillex’s old music, he had this otherworldly creativity back then which hasn’t been replicated by anyone since.
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.
No mames la conocí en 2013 y ahora en 2022 con 25 valla revivo viejos tiempos de secundaria espero volver 10 años después nos vemos quizás en otro comentario pero si llegaste hasta aquí que cumplas todas tus metas 😌👍
This song always reminded me of what it would be like if we got a Skrill song with Daft Punk. I’ve probably listened to this song 1000 times since 2012 always a solid track to come back to. Not to mention how ahead of the times this was!
@@imDezrt ''My name is Skrillex'' had some heavy Justice vibes specially. Not surprising, since Skrillex said he heard Cross in 2007 and then spent the next three or four years trying to replicate it's sound.
benson bellchamber Mannnnnnnnnnn !!! HAHAHHAHAHA Ever heard Backstage !! or on Partys if he hasnt realesed it and he say ya thats a whole ne song i made hope you enjoy ... My nigga pleaseee
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. This is from his Sound-Cloud channel in 2010: "Old tune I made about a year ago for a fashion show for the clothing line Native Son. 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
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.
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
@@ragtimegals He really brought a lot of the underground to the mainstream. He made it digestible for a lot of people and also has a truly original sound that nobody really could replicate still to this day.
When i first heard skrillex i was 15 i think now 8 years later i discovered this Song for the first time on RUclips. Nice track. Miss old Times on School break when we Heard this and everybody watched us when we Heard this music ❤️

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

Skrillex was then on a level which few producers are on now
including Skrillex himself haha
***** xD
he was on a higher level than he is now
lmao this is so true xD not even himself can top this now
Uhh.. that dude could make this look bad now!? What are saying.. going to hip hop opens up his reservoir to make music combining the genres. One of the best producers of our time. Cant say that for most electronic/dubstep artists
I forgot how insane this song is.
Commenting so you come back
you dont realize how actually good he is at producing, this has a really high level of refinement
You mean his old German ghost producer who works now for DillonFrancis?!? ;)
+Steve Jobs zedd??
+Steve Jobs wat
+Steven Paul Jobs what the fuck?? he has never used ghost producers
+Steven Paul Jobs When he made this he was broke as fuck, how was he gonna afford a ghost producer?
Gotta say, I'm a hardcore Skrillex fan but I've never heard a Skrillex drop that reaches the magnitude of awesomeness in this one.
+Ryan Pavliy Tell me you're hardcore when you listen to Bells album everyday for 2 months, then we can talk.
lol jk :33
French House drop in My Name is Skrillex is the best drop he's made imo
First of the year
Ruffneck full flex
I agree, I also love the one in Slats Slats Slats ! I wish he released an official version of it .. I can't find it anywhere :(
Song was drastically ahead of it’s time 🤩
Don’t even hear anyone making music like this, skrillex was on a otherworldly level of creativity back then, like who thinks of this shit?
All i can say is
OLD IS GOLD. 👽
Could you imagine how sick it would be to witness this live when it first came out?
The sampling in this song is amazing. This is next level even today, but this was made 9 years ago. Absolute madness.
He need to put this one on all platforms. This one still goes crazy to this DAY
This is nice.

This song really gives off a 1970s/80s vibe with the vocal chops and clips that sound to be from music from that era.
+Raheem Taylor (FAIRLYNX) do you know which songs?
What songs are they from
Certainly using a large amount of analogue sounds such as Justice's cross EP.
@@bladeii869 he pretty much took the concept. Justice loves using 70s music chops.
Shadow Dancing - Andy Gibb
2017, still bumpin this every day.
2021, still bumpin this every day
Dude, i think this is the Best song of Skrillex
It's like a Future Funkstep and It sounds so good
More electro house than anything
1:15 has been giving me chills for 7 years, im never ready for it
100%
Same man
You meant 0:38 right!
@@harshitasha5307 Yes, but I was afraid to correct him xD
*0:38
0:38 the glory of sampling
It’s the year 2020. This song was released in 2010 and still holds strong! Cheers to a decade of memories! 🍻 🙌🏼
In December, this banger gonna be 10 years old
11 now

***** shadow dancing by andy gibb is another song he used a majority of
It's 2016 and this song is still brilliant
Music doesnt have a expiration date
agreed
Seriously, I think it's hilarious that once a track gets to be over 2 or 3 years old it's considered ANCIENT by a lot of listeners.
DSWEIG this isn't 2 years old it's 6 years old

I am not gonna lie bro, a lot of his old songs sound exactly like the album Cross by JUSTICE
0:36 - 1:16 is fucking legendary on its own
Confirmo
This part is in a league of its own.
The funky style skrillex had on some of his older songs were top tier
@@gaster575official5 Yoo frrr
It's my favourite part of the track and the reason I always come back for more
2022 and this song is still fresh as fuck - feel like I actually appreciate it way more now then when I first heard it. Skrillex is a legend
stuff like 3:45 - 4:10 is what made me fall in love with electronic music. 🙏🏼😭
0:38 i love iiiiiiiiit.
Amor puro😍
dean that is by far groovy and beatlove at finest
Sonny hace lo que quiere. Y sus licuadoras suenan re bien.
Best song ever
Don't let his other song here you they will get sad and then mad.
@@cannonblaster2955 Shush idiot.
Lmao
There is actually one problem with the song ...... It ends
Agreed
By far my favorite thing Skrillex has made.
Edit 7 years later: Still true
Sony really needs to add this to iTunes......

@@jackamoo102 sadly probably a copyright issue with one of the samples. Damn sorry for responding to this almost 9 years later 😅
Flat eric
coming back to this after 10 years. just as good as I remembered it
Even better now
hell, I'm going to start playing it.
Hello check mark comment from 9 years ago
Years later and I’m still playing this, what a great beat
This groove is FUNKY AF!! Goes to show the versatility of a skilled producer. Well done Mr. Moore.
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.

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.
There's a very good reason why this has always been my favorite Skrillex song. Slaps so hard, even though it's so underrated 😩
french touch style chops with bass music is such a good fucking combo.
Sonny you are too gifted at producing. 🥺🥺🥺. I've had this in my Playlist rotation since it dropped. Its so under-rated 🥺🥺🥺
getting those Justice vibes from the sampling. ❤
Absolutely, Skrillex was a big fan of SebastiAn and Justice back then so that’s why it has a French House feel
Still sounds fresh and strong
It's been a while since I've listen to Skrillex. This is still probably my favorite song by him.
this needs to be remastered ❤
no
@@mrtaha360 YESSSS
This track makes me want to lay down some fierce robotic dance moves
This and Lick It are just amazing; I wish he'd make more French-Housey stuff combined with his aggressive style, like both of them.
Yes this feels very French House, very SebastiAn and Justice
Por varios años había olvidado esta joya, que buenos recuerdos me trae.
yoooo this song is so good, it gives me a lot of justice vibes

okay we all know that this still gives you goosebumps and is a killer
Yes indeed
Bro, the nostalgia
nostalgia be hittin.
I miss this skrillex
that sound reminded me daft punk
Should remind you of Justice more
Independent Pixel It reminded me of Darude Sandstorm
This Remind me Skrillex
yes Yes YES
Justice and SebastiAn also
the funky drop at 0:38 is what separates skrillex from the others
As much as I like the bass hes put in his music nowadys, I have to agree.. old Skrill was way more turnt up
Switching to the mainstream results in toning down bass to appeal to a more general crowd.
he was extremely mainstream before though XD
skrillex is who made this sort of music mainstream
This song always reminded me of what it would be like if we got a Skrill song with Daft Punk. I’ve probably listened to this song 1000 times since 2012 always a solid track to come back to. Not to mention how ahead of the times this was!
THIS SONG ohgod the nostalgia
Nostalgia 😍
Closest anyone has ever come to replicating SebastiAn
Good call. I was gonna say Justice too. Ed Banger is all over this, can't be surprised though--they were the hot shit from 2008-2010
@@imDezrt ''My name is Skrillex'' had some heavy Justice vibes specially. Not surprising, since Skrillex said he heard Cross in 2007 and then spent the next three or four years trying to replicate it's sound.

YES!!!
he a self creating musician, not your pet.
Icicleman04 true
AKYLcorn thx for clarifying.
Doesn't matter what genre. Just think about how great skrillex was lol.
is!?
Have you heard his new ep? With all respect I don't think so lol.

have you heard the unreleased?
The unreleased is in real! How could people get them if skrillex hasn't gave it out ass hat

The best hits of musician ALWAYS are the firts in their carrer, bc they are Hungry of Succes, its evolutionary pressure.
This is still so underrated in Skrillex's discography
End of 2019 and still flame
i loved this song in the past, i was like 10
Idk what it is about this song but I love it so much
A lot like My Name Is Skrillex
still some of the most brilliant shit ever made in bass music. Im a diehard skrillex fan, but this is still fucking awesome.

ah you can hear the mid tempo beat in this aka cyberpunk music style. Skrillex was truly ahead of his time
This makes me wanna get up and throw my table at the fridge
From 0:00 to 1:35 is so Justice, he used to sound like them a lot, fucking genius
i was about to comment this lol, really feels like cross
i knooooow I've been listening to the whole Cross lately and quite a bit of Skrillex again and i noticed that xD
Skrillex admitted that he was a huge fan of Justice and their Cross album, at his Grammy Award acceptance speech he shouted them out
2023 y es más genial que otras canciones de este año!!!🤟🏻
Take me back to those good old days when I was flying around in WoW farming engineering levels while bumping to this song.
