Skrillex is becoming ever more so popular, with his recent small swag of Grammy's for his previous EP, Scary monsters and nice Sprites, and his new release, Bangarang, seeping into main-stream radio. At the moment, Skrillex is dominating "Dance music" and many of it's sub-genres, and it's not hard to see why. Bangarang seems to have a whole new feel to it. While many tracks do have the classic dirty basslines Skrillex is known for, there just seems to be a whole new...optimistic feel to it. Opening with the average "Right In" (the only song on the EP in which Skrillex has not collaborated with anyone), Bangarang goes onto some of his best work in "Bangarang" (featuring Sirah) and the surpringly "normal" sounding "Summit" featuring Ellie Goulding. There's the mediocre songs like "Breakn' a Sweat", in which Skrillex collabarates with Members of the Doors, and "Kyoto" featuring Sirah, and then there's those songs that you just can't wait to end.
Skrillex has succeeded in bringing us an alternative to and a new take on the ever-so-repetitive mainstream dance/electronic music. Bangarang is another solid and consistent performance from that side parted devil we call Skrillex.
