dflux4 Posted February 12, 2012 Posted February 12, 2012 Skrillex Nabs Best Remixed Recording Grammy'It's more of really a platform than a genre,' the EDM star tells MTV News on our live-stream carpet about the dance movement.By Jocelyn Vena (@jocelyn1212) , with reporting by James Montgomery (@positivnegativ) Skrillex will walk into the Grammy Awards a winner. On Sunday (February 12), the multiple nominee nabbed the Grammy gold for Best Remixed Recording, Non-Classical for the song "Cinema" in a pre-telecast ceremony. It marks a big achievement for the rising EDM DJ/producer — and an even bigger achievement for the genre, which has shot through to the mainstream in the last year.Before he took home the prize, Skrill chatted with MTV News on our live-stream red carpet, opening up about his current status as EDM's "It" boy."You know what? I don't really think about that too much because I'm with these guys and I'm doing shows and you don't have much time to reflect when stuff [is] happening so quickly. And at the same time, it's more, I'm really focused on my label and my music and touring and making great production," he explained. "We all live in the moment."I think EDM, like what you were saying before, what I was just thinking about, it's more of really a platform than a genre because it pulls and inspires and it resonates through all types of genres and all types of energy," he told MTV News' James Montgomery.Skrillex is up for four more awards on Sunday, including Best New Artist. In addition to recognizing EDM throughout multiple categories, the show will also include a tribute to the musical movement."As DJs we've been pushing new and interesting music for a long time and now people are paying attention. It's a sound and an energy," said A-Trak, Skrillex's fellow producer and a Grammy nominee."It is unusual," Diplo added on the red carpet, in a discussion of the current spotlight put on EDM. "I mean, I think we've all been a part of the music scene for a while. But it's kind of cool were geeing the recognition."MTV News' Sway and James Montgomery will be live from the Grammys red carpet tonight starting at 5 p.m. ET to get reactions from music's biggest stars on the death of Whitney Houston.

legunner Posted February 13, 2012 Posted February 13, 2012 Congrats good on the guy. Begin Rant:I hate when people say stupid things like "Skrillex the DJ". Do some research on him or just ask him for god sake [/rant]. Quote
JonnyB Posted February 13, 2012 Posted February 13, 2012 Good god, I hope that author is a trollyeah that whole site is a troll, its not serious Quote
Hobberz Posted February 13, 2012 Posted February 13, 2012 Deadmau5 knew he had no chance against Skrillex. So what does he do, wears a shirt with Skrillex's mobile number on it to the Grammy's. Dunno if he would of put the real number on there, or if it was just a joke. Quote
Scottie Posted February 13, 2012 Posted February 13, 2012 He uses a midi button pad to mix his noise together, can't really call it djing imo Quote
Cupe Posted February 13, 2012 Posted February 13, 2012 deadmau5 must start to feel like a fuckwit having to wear those stupid fucken mau5 heads all the time Quote
LabRat Posted February 13, 2012 Posted February 13, 2012 Deadmau5 knew he had no chance against Skrillex. So what does he do, wears a shirt with Skrillex's mobile number on it to the Grammy's. Dunno if he would of put the real number on there, or if it was just a joke. It was real. He had to change his number. We can hate but we all forget he has bought the music we love to the mainstream.Same with Guetta, good on him for breaking though to mainstream radio. Guys like afrojack are doing the same thing Quote
Lurk6r Posted February 13, 2012 Posted February 13, 2012 why did deadmau5 be a whale for?whalers gonna whale Quote
OxyKon Posted February 13, 2012 Posted February 13, 2012 Cause deadmau5 is that much of a fuck head Quote
LabRat Posted February 13, 2012 Posted February 13, 2012 why did deadmau5 be a whale for?It's because he knew skrillex was gonna be the "man of the moment" sorta thing so he just added to it. I've read all this somewhere Quote

I've read all this somewhereBit of a dog act if you ask me. Deadmau5 seems to get off on trolling others, he does it every chance he gets. Would be good to see how he would react if the shoe was on the other foot. This just gives me another reason to think less of him and his stupid antics. Quote
Robsta Posted February 13, 2012 Posted February 13, 2012 What sort of asshole would find any enjoyment out of trolling anyway.. Quote
