Benny Benassi

Benny Benassi is a smart dude. And he's seriously starting a trend that is soon to catch on everywhere. You would think that it's common sense. Hip-Hop, good. Electronic/Dance, good. Put them together, amazing. Benassi has teamed up with the likes of T-Pain (above video) and Chris Brown (track below) to put together some instant dance tracks. With T-Pain on the hook, and rapping the choruses with his usual auto-tune, Electroman is an upbeat party track for sure. However, with Chris Brown, there is more focus on Benassi, with Chris only singing the hooks, and not much lyrical work. However, that one is a great dancing/club track. Other DJs have started to pick up on this trend as well, as it is sure to start a huge movement in the culture of music today.

Artist Profile - Skrillex

For those of you that haven't heard of Skrillex, or his music and how he's changing people's minds about Electro/Dubstep, you need to become familiar. Sonny Moore, aka Skrillex, has continued to make a name for himself ever since he decided to pursue a solo career in 2008. After going on tour with Deadmau5, and signing to the Mau5trap label, his name has continued to grow in the music scene. Personally, I was not immediately attracted to his music, but it slowly grew on me, and now I play a number of his tracks, including ones from his Scary Monsters and Nice Sprites - EP. Skrillex is on the rise as a DJ and a musician, so keep a look out for him as his popularity continues to increase.

My personal favorite that i've heard from him, is when he contrast his heavy base and dubstep with a female artist sample, such as La Roux's "In for the Kill":

Skrillex also takes already popular techno songs, like Beny Benassi's "Cinema" Featuring Gary Go and throws his own flavor into the song:

Here is one of Skrillex's more popular single tracks, "Slats Slats Slats":
