Best Dubstep - A Skrillex Timeline You all have undoubtedly heard that one of the
best dubstep artists Skrillex has made it in 5 Grammy nominations. He obtained nods for categories such as Best New Artist, Best Dance Recording, Best Short Form Music Video, Best Remixed Recording, and BestDance/Electronica Album. For some dubstep fanatics it can be upsetting because many of them dont approve his music being designated as
dubstep. While it can be true, he is not nominated for dubstep, rather he is nominated for dance and electronica. So while you may hate it, he may without a doubt be the mainstream discovery that the style needs to boost popularity.
Oh wait what is that? ....you don’t want dubstep to be bigger? …….Too late
Dubstep is huge, and it's definitely going to get bigger. With many of the great collaborations that is to be expected from this, I think we should sit back and enjoy the ride. On that note lets take a small trip down Skrillex lane and view a few of his
best dubstep songs.Back in the day, not in the Digital Mystikz days, instead just a few years back, Sonny Moore dropped a hammer on the genre with his first EP titled Bells, followed up with Gypsyhook in 2009. Here is a tune from Gypsyhook titled Mora -
