Q: Gotta ask it.. Why did you release a remix of Bug Hunt and not the original? The original is way too good to remain unreleased forever
A: It was meant to just live in the Hero's Duty scene of Wreck It Ralph... also its not really a full song. It was just sort of made to fit the scene of the movie. I've just moved onto so many other things since i finished working on that movie.. But perhaps one day i'll open up that project file again and complete it...
Q: How does it feel having your own Disney character? :)
A: Its f**ing crazy... waaaayyy crazier then winning grammys in my head.. still pinching myself...
Q: How was your experience working with A$ap Rocky?
A: Amazing,.. really organic and fast. He's super talented and has a lot of input...
Q: Are there any moments that comes to mind where you just sat back and thought "this is why I make music"?
- I bet working with the Doors is one of them
A: YES... !
Q: Big ups on supporting unknown acts and producers, I think you and Owsla have definitely changed the scope of ba** music by bringing up guys like Koan Sound, Seven Lions and k** Paris. Those guys are really spelling out the future of EDM in general
A: <3
Q: So f**ing sick this sound is coming back mixing with the modern style of sounds, you digging Eptic?
A: YES love him
Q: How are the vocal cords since From first to last?
A: Good shape!
Q: This gif actually became a big hit in concert technician circles because he fell on a moving head (the lamp on the ground)
So on behalf of all of us: we know you're okay, but what happened to the moving head?
A: Lol moving head is fine... Im so glad that moment got caught on camera though.. that was actually the first thought that came to my head after the pain chilled out.. i was like "FuK i hope somebody filmed that"
Q: We're producing nerds who will take everything you say and process it like Socrates explaining the meaning of life. That'd be a good AMA for those who used to be like you, learning the craft and trying to make something we're proud of
A: its really all about energy first, mix second for me at least...I could get into this and not stop typing foreverefveveveeerrr
Q: Skrillex who is your hero?
A: Thats a hard one... You?
Q: What's your dream collaboration? Also I met you at warped tour in like 2005, I remember you had giant hands. Big fan!
A: Lol Giant hands! never heard that one before... Dream collab is always a hard one to answer.. always changes with my mood
Q: I know you said in an interview somewhere that you're fine with people sharing your old unreleased stuff or leaking it; So why not give them straight to us instead?
Its literally the best track you've ever made in my opinion and has been a huge inspiration to me. I've been listening to this live recording for the past 2 years, so even if you don't still have it in studio quality, posting a Zippyshare/Soundcloud link here would be f**ing amazing
A: man.. i forgot about the version! makes me wnat to go back and finish it... thanks!!!
Q: Skrillex what is your favorite cla**ical instrument? Thanks a lot for doing this AMA I have been a big fan for a very long time
A: No prob! i actually LOVE the harp...
