Skrillex

Skrillex's aggressive dubstep-influenced productions on Scary Monsters and Nice Sprites sold over 4 million copies globally, earning three consecutive Grammy Awards—a record for electronic artists. His mainstream success divided purists, but his impact on bass music is undeniable. He generated 50% more radio airplay than the typical EDM artist in 2012, though #1 Daft Punk achieved greater critical longevity.
