Dimitri Kechagias review: Skrillex is the most amazing artist at the moment making a musical impact with his powerful dubstep electronica and visual impact as well with the music video's of his tracks that stand out because of their clever angle, witty and fresh ideas. His brand new EP coming at Bitclap in Germany that is the brand new dance sublabel of Warner Germany includes amazing tracks and I have in my hands 3 of them. Bangarang is simply mindblowing and stands out with the way that various influences from wide variety of styles come together to shape his new personal sound that is dubstep, electro house, funky house, hip hop and nu rave in order to blow your mind and give it the huge shake that needs. His collaboration with Wolfgang Gartner – on The Devil’s Den is a real electronic music shock that you have to feel it in your bones. Full on and body shaking is the kind of track that wide variety of djs can easily drop and get great reactions. Particularly the breakdown with the huge anthemic melody will stick in your head for months along with the nasty naughty vocals. Then it goes all the way hard dustep until the vocal to come in and carry on clubby and big room. Lastly his collaboration with Ellie Goulding for Summit is a beautiful dreamy melodic dubstep meets electronica track that will touch you deep and will travel your mind to many places. Exciting stuff from a great artist! Like IT!
