This guy is probably the MOST underated producer in the history of electronic music in my opinion.

He calls himself an 'artist' instead of a DJ. His productions are simply astounding.
Coming from a fellow producer, his work is filled with detail that I could only dream about producing.

Im posting this song as most of you know the original, so will probably listen to it. However, it is not his best piece of work by a long way, no matter how good it is!

His new album 'III' is insane, and I highly recommend people at least listen to it.

Half way through and had to cry in the memory of a classic.
Someone should report him.to the police for such a violent assault on a classic. It's like george lucas and steven speilberg with Indiana Jones held down on the pinball machine again.

Wow. I'm actually taking that as an insult haha.

Ermm okay. Give me your opinion on this:

The first one should remain unreleased, might aswell press the delete button really its pretty naff. The second one is just boring and might aswell be deleted with the other noise.

I'm too scared to play the second one.

Having listened to some of it if I was you I would give your ears the respect they deserve and dont bother.

Wow. Talk about clueless hay.

On what basis?

Would painting a moustache on the Mona Lisa make me an artist?

I can't listen because I'm at work but I can guess roughly based on the comments that - rather than a reworking of the original - that this is adding layers?
If you want to hear a good version of a Massive Attack track, check out Newton Faulkner - Teardrop.
I'll give this guy a listen when I get home but am not expecting to be blown away, as far as innovative electronic music goes, Aphex Twin hold the title there already.

Aphex Twin and Gui have worked/played together many of times. This rework is definately not adding layers. His production is insane, if you know how to look out for that unlike the other two above. Newton Faulkners version is very good, probably the best cover of that song IMO. Gui is basically a minimal/techno artist but not of the standard 128bpm minimalistic beat for 8 minutes straight. You could say (sticking my neck out) its the modern electronic equivalent of classical music simply because of the detail and synths.

I quite like this. A bit dull, but chilled out definitely. It does sound "high quality" though, unlike a lot of remixes these days where it's the same generic beat over and over with the lyrics played over the top, making it a "remix."

And hey, at least it's not dubstep...

He's done another remix of Massive Attacks 'Paradise Circus' and that was a massive success (excuse the pun).

Yeah i could have posted that Scrillex person or whoever the feck hes called.

Don't get me wrong, I do like some dubstep, and yes, even Skrillex, but it seems everyone, their nan, her dog and it's offspring have done a "dubstep remix!!!" usually consisting of WUBWUBWUBWUBWUBWUB for 4 minutes, and no relation to the original song.

Exactly. It's gone totally in the wrong direction and only a few artists still produce what is technically dubstep.

Had a listen to both tracks and I like the artist

I prefer the first track over the second one even tho it is a remix, it is a good mix that I could easily listen too and enjoy every time. As a massive Trance/Techno/FunkyHouse/HardHouse/ElectroHouse..... junky, I like it

Just out of curiosity what technically is Dubstep? because a lot of people have different views on what it is and personally i would say music that say Skrillex has made is dubstep to me but my girlfriend does say it is

Dubstep (/ˈdʌbstɛp/) is a genre of electronic dance music that originated in south London, England. Its overall sound has been described as "tightly coiled productions with overwhelming bass lines and reverberant drum patterns, clipped samples, and occasional vocals".[1]
The earliest dubstep releases date back to 1998 and were darker, more experimental, instrumental dub remixes of 2-step garage tracks attempting to incorporate the funky elements of breakbeat, or the dark elements of drum and bass into 2-step, which featured B-sides of single releases. In 2001, this and other strains of dark garage music began to be showcased and promoted at London's night club Plastic People, at the "Forward" night (sometimes stylized as FWD>>), which went on to be considerably influential to the development of dubstep. The term "dubstep" in reference to a genre of music began to be used by around 2002, by which time stylistic trends used in creating these remixes started to become more noticeable and distinct from 2-step and grime.
A very early supporter of the sound was BBC Radio 1 DJ John Peel, who started playing it from 2003 onwards. In 2004, the last year of his show, his listeners voted Distance, Digital Mystikz and Plastician (formerly Plasticman) in their top 50 for the year.[2] Dubstep started to spread beyond small local scenes in late 2005 and early 2006; many websites devoted to the genre appeared on the internet and aided the growth of the scene, such as dubstepforum, the download site Barefiles and blogs such as gutterbreakz.[3]The Wire and online publications such as Pitchfork Media, with a regular feature entitled The Month In: Grime/Dubstep. Interest in dubstep grew significantly after BBC Radio 1 DJ Mary Anne Hobbs started championing the genre, beginning with a show devoted to it (entitled "Dubstep Warz") in January 2006.[4][5][6] Simultaneously, the genre was receiving extensive coverage in music magazines such as



Dubstep is deep low basslines with a simple drum beat over them. All this screeching **** isnt.

Skrillex uses dubstep influences. He cited one of his influences back in the day as NIN, and it shows, with all the screetchy stuff. There is some DnB in there too, and definitely metal influences. His stuff with KoRn is amazing
