Skrillex wins 3 Grammys (Best New Artist still to be announced)

Following the controversy surrounding Skrillex's five Grammy nominations over the past few weeks, the superstar Dubstep producer/DJ has gone on to win 3 Grammy awards at tonight's ceremony, with 'Best New Artist' yet to be announced. Sonny Moore, 23, shot into the spotlight at the back end of 2010, with his heavy robotic sound capturing the hearts of many youngsters, and taking the much loved underground UK genre into the American mainstream. Adele pipped him to the 'Best Short Form Music Video', but he has still picked up 'Best Remixed Recording', 'Best Electronic/Dance Album' and 'Best Dance Recording'. As much as you may hate his music, he is without doubt one of the hardest working men in music right now, and this is a huge moment for Dubstep and the Electronic music scene as a whole. Kanye West has also won 3 awards in the pre-Grammy telecast for 'Best Rap Song', 'Best Rap Album', and 'Best Rap/Sung Collabo'. Stay tuned for the full list of award winners.

Skrillex: is a DJ worth 5 Grammy nominations?

The guys over at Beast TV have put together this sick little documentary to look into whether a DJ is worth 5 Grammy nominations. Well Sonny Moore, better known as Skrillex, is one of the hardest working men in music right now, and I (along with many others) believe that he fully deserves the level of recognition that he has received over the past 12 months. The awards he is up for are: Best New Artist, Best Dance Recording, Best Dance/Electronica Album, Best Remixed Recording (Non-Classical) & Best Short Form Music Form. Wishing him all the luck in the world, winning just one of these would be massive. Check out all the categories and nominees HERE.

Knife Party - Centipede (Live)

Knife Party, one of the most exciting acts to emerge in 2011, start 2012 with a bang by dropping this brand new unreleased track entitled 'Centipede'. Sounds massive, very Skrillex-ey in parts.

Avicii's Laptop & Hard Drives Stolen from Hotel Room

Last year shocking news surfaced that someone had broken into Skrillex's hotel room in Italy and stole his hard drives - well now it seems the same has happened to Tim Berg/Avicii in Rochester, but whilst he was sleeping! After the theft of Skrillex's possessions many tracks were leaked, thus delaying the release of his debut album, so one can only imagine what this might do to the Swedish-born producers collection. For me it's really upsetting that 'fans' (music fiends) would ever do this to an artist, especially if it was someone that you loved and respected. Hit the jump to see the statement from Avicii and the contact details for if you have ANY information. Tossers.

Playing his latest show at Surrender in Las Vegas, Skrillex drops a world exclusive of a Dub Reggae track that he has done with Damian Marley. This sounds absolutely incredible.

Skrillex - Breakn' a Sweat (Feat. The Doors) (Video)

A sick video for the Skrillex & The Doors collaboration, which was created as part of Hyundai’s Re:Generation project in association with the Grammys. Extremely excited for his debut album, and to see his live show for the first time next month.
