Foo Fighters And Deadmau5 To Perform Together At The Grammys


Foo Fighters And Deadmau5 To Perform Together At The Grammys Foo Fighters will be joined by dance titan Deadmau5 for a performance at the Grammy Awards on Sunday, February 12. The ceremony, set to take place at the Staples Center in Los Angeles, will pay tribute to electronic music.
The Foo Fighters and Deadmau5 will perform a remixed version of the Foos’ single, "Rope", on an open-air stage outside the Staples Center facility.

The Foo Fighters are nominated for Grammys in six categories this year, including Album of the Year for their acclaimed disc, "Wasting Light". That number – six – equals the number of Grammy trophies the band have taken home thus far during their career.
"It feels great to be the guy with gray hair in his beard who is still invited to these things," Foos frontman Dave Grohl told the Associated Press, in a recent interview. "Twenty years ago, I never thought I’d even have a career in music this long."




Skrillex- The dark side of dance music

So, today we'll talk to you about one of the most outstanding and succesful DJ´s: Skillex.
Sonny John Moore aka. Skrillex known for songs such as Scary Monsters and Nice Sprits, Kill Everybody and Rock N´ Roll (Will Take You To The Mountain) produces a genre called Dubstep -British electronic dance music characterized by drum and bass samples that give a "dark" sound-.

Skrillex started his musical career on a punk rock band at the age of 16 called From First to Last but left it some time later to pursuit a solo carer. While in the band, he worked on two projects which he used later to make himself famous since 2007.

Troughout his long solo career he has also performed and remixed songs with other artists of different genres such as Deadmau5 and Korn ; producing great singles, shows and even revolutionized music

Here are some music videos of Skrillex for you to see how great his music is. Enjoy! 


This is one of the best collaborations Skrillex has with the nu-metal band Korn.

Deadmau5: the mouse-headed guy

Hey everyone
So can you can ask: "Why do you have a mouse on the background?"
Well he is Deadmau5. If this does not mean nothing you and you are like "Who the hell is Deadmau5?", step up and scroll down.

That mouse-headed guy is one of the best music producers in the world. You could call him a DJ but he doesn't like this term and so he kill you if you do so. I'm half-kidding. Still he surely makes great mixes.


The name "deadmau5" originated when Zimmerman claimed to have found a dead mouse in his computer while replacing his video card. He discussed this with chat room users and became known as "that dead mouse guy." The nickname "Dead Mouse" was too long for the IRC character limit, and was then shortened to deadmau5.
His mixes are widely used everywhere even if you don't know it is Deadmau5 song. He may not be mainstream and still he does a great job.


Now, how famous is this guy? Enough to present a mobile phone on London.
