Skrillex has hardly proved a stranger to working with acts in the pop realm, responsible for a few particularly high-profile collaborations over the past year. It looks like there’s more to come, and for this particular dancefloor flagbearer, working with pop artists actually represents one of the more subversive creative choices he could make.
“I'm actually working with Bruno Mars right now,” Skrillex revealed to Billboard , not shy at all about his enthusiasm for the results.
“I'm not going to give specifics of what it sounds like, but what we're doing is so f--king different, awesome and next level and sounds like nothing else that's happened before,” he said. “Every time I get in the studio with somebody else and collaborate, that’s when I always have revelations and learn about stuff. And I just love stepping outside of what I know, and there’s no other music position that can do that.”
Skrillex also passed on some advice to younger producers, encouraging them not to worry about conventions, or what should or shouldn’t be done in the studio, urging them to “break all the rules.”
