Bangarang

Skrillex's fourth and latest EP is "Bangarang" and it's on Big Beat/Atlantic. This one came out around Christmastime but physically (which is all I care about) in January. With a name like Skrillex - he's reminiscent of a skillet, sex and a tribble - make your own porn out of that one. Born Sonny John Moore, he's a twentysomething Grammy Award winning electronic music wiz and he's also a Capricorn, so he never lies and is always right. There's a weird, technical explanation for what he does but if you explain it too much, you ruin it, so we'll leave at this: It's foot candy made by a bunch of machines with samples and vocal snippets. "Breakin' A Sweat" pretty much showcases Skrillex's connections and passions as he is joined by the three living members of the Doors and even a part of a Jim Morrison interview is included. Does it work? Dunno. Sorta. Probably. Ask your feet.
