    Festivals either hate it or they secretly love it, but every year several artists leak on social media their inclusion in a festival lineup.

As everyone knows, the Internet is forever. Skrillex did just that yesterday, Feb. 10, on Twitter when he blurted out that he was going to headline Insomniac's Electric Forest in 2015.

  • Missy Elliott Reportedly Tabbed by Diplo and Skrillex on Jack Ü 'Take Ü There' Remix

    Is it 2002 again? Gas is under $2 a gallon and Missy Elliott is back in the charts. Ever since the Super Bowl, the "Lose Control" rapper has become one of the most talked about figures in music, overshadowing Katy Perry at her own halftime show, despite the excessive fireworks, massive lion and left shark. According to a report by Hot 97 presenter and industry insider, Miss Info, Elliott will not be letting this opportunity pass by without having a say in the matter. According to the report, Elliott did something a little different this time, remixing Diplo & Skrillex's single as Jack Ü "Take Ü There" featuring Kiesza.

  • Skrillex Shares "Doompy Poomp" Video [WATCH]

    Skrillex has teamed with "Vice's" The Creators Project, known in the electronic music world for their work doing profiles on the Daft Punk "Random Access Memories" collaborators, to present his latest music video. The video revives possibly the least-heralded song "Doompy Poomp" from Sonny Moore's LP "Recess" in the manner one might expect Skrillex to do.

  • Nathan Barnatt Dances to "Ease My Mind" With Niki & The Dove [WATCH]

    Nathan Barnatt is known for his creative and at times wacky videos, and his new clip for Skrillex's "Ease My Mind" featuring the vocals of Niki & The Dove is no different. Taken from Moore's 2014 album Recess, "Ease My Mind" has been one of the standouts from the album and has remained one of the lasting singles to come from the album. Barnatt's video does what he does best, bringing his whacked out dance moves to the Skrillex-crafted beat. He manages to mold his odd personality and quick editing into a storyline about love and love lost that fits with the theme of the song. If it were not for the fact that Skrillex has pretty twisted videos and Nathan Barnatt is somewhat of a YouTube celebrity, someone might mistake this for his official video.
