Mash Up - Dubstep & Rock

So we all know, or atleast you should, that dubstep beats have BLOW THE EFF UP this past year. I don't know if I would call it mainstream yet but it's definitely on it's way. Some say the founder of this movement in the U.S. is Skrillex, the ex-front man of From First to Last. He started DJ'ing in LA (clearly where else would such a movement start), and from there it took off.

Skrillex

Since signing with Deadmau5's label Big Beat Skrillex has released 2 LPs, and sent many a beat out into the world. So what's next? Apparently helping produce Korn's next album. Yup you read that right KORN. You know the crazy heavy rock band, mmhmmm. Lead singer, Jonathan Davis, has proclaimed that he "isn't a fan of the current rock scene," and "Rock has been so fucking lame lately." To be honest I see where he's going with that, but to head over to the world of electronics... I don't know if I or the world is ready for this.

Skrillex is not the only electronic/dubstep producer on the upcoming album, The Path of Totality he is just one of several. The record drops on December 6th, so until then lets all wait with bated breath shall we to see if this is a disaster or a beautiful mash up in the making.
