WATCH: DAVID GUETTA, DEADMAU5 AND THE FOO FIGHTERS AT THE GRAMMYS DANCE SHOWCASE.

Much talked-about US star Skrillex has a slew of 2012 Grammy nominations to his name, and he’s just started winning some statuettes in the awards’ pre-program. The Future Music Festival 2012 recruit has already taken out Best Remixed Recording (Non-Classical) for his take on Benny Benassi’s Cinema and Best Dance Recording for Scary Monsters & Nice Sprites. Just to round it off, he’s also won Best Dance/Electronica Album ahead of Cut Copy’s Zonoscope, Deadmau5’s 4×4 = 12, David Guetta’s Nothing But The Beat and Robyn’s Body Talk Pt. 3. “This is really crazy for me, man,” Skrillex said on his first trip up to the stage. “I made this song in my bedroom when I was living illegally in a warehouse in downtown L.A.”

“If I can win grammys then that means all you yet to be seen bedroom geniuses will one day TAKEOVER THE WORLD,” Skrillex blasted on Twitter.

Having scooped the pool in the pre-show program, Skrillex entered the Grammys with three awards under his arm and strong hopes of taking home the gong for Best New Artist. One of the most coveted accolades at the awards, the category saw Skrillex up against Bon Iver, Nicki Minaj, The Band Perry and J. Cole. Despite his hot streak, though, the star was pipped by indie-folk hero Bon Iver.

umm obviously this article is going to attract a lot of the skrillex haters.... but when did anyone interested in EDM give a shit about the Grammys? To be honest I am just glad Guetta didn't get any.

What a joke! who decides on the recipients of these awards? Since when has a recording that features the same song 3 times been considered an album?!! let alone a considered compilation.... The album only actually contains 6 tracks, that's basically a single!

Homer: Oh why won't anyone give me an award?
Marge: You won a Grammy!
Homer: I mean an award that's worth winning.

DISCLAIMER: Mr. Simpson's opinions do not reflect those of the producers, who don't consider the Grammy an award at all.

... in fairness, Noisia, Datsik and Downlink are pretty much on a par with Skrillex's output. If you're being true to yourself.

Agreed. I don't understand why people get so personal about this kind of thing....

I don't see how it really effects people.

Well done Skrillex, the Cinema remix was the song of the year in my book. While you may get sick of hearing Goyte's song, Cinema will stand the test of time.

Jamwildway must be a troll. He's got an unnatural love for David Guetta and Skrillex.

The reason I don't like the Grammy's is that it's a industry circlejerk around terrible pop music, but they always have the need to put one or two decent artists in there deserving the awards so the show has some "cred", but they will never win it.

It was worth seeing Taylor Swift go on 4chan with a picture of her and her two awards and posting "how was your night?" and the resulting shitstorm though.

Skrillex, a Gothic icon and Lesbian fashionista whose name is Latin for “Homosexual Satan Wasp”, is the biggest act in Dubstep today - a music genre founded on consuming massive amounts of drugs and having raucous pre-marital sex with numerous partners - and his winnings at the 2012 Grammys prove that his satanic presence will be felt for years to come. As long as Skrillex wins Grammys and is accepted by mainstream media, he will claim souls for Satan and molest our children through his perverse philosophy of futuristic devil machine music.

Skrillex is the inventor of “dubstep” whose sole purpose is to provide a “drop” - common youth terminology for procuring and snorting drugs. In addition, the rhythm patterns he employs in his “music” are known to cause seizures to certain people, which provides ample opportunity for other concert-goers to rape said afflicted person(s).

Skrillex, a known emosexual, was born Sonny Moore. He rose to fame with the satanic Rock ‘n roll band “From First To Last” (a band name that celebrates falling from God’s grace) and soon parlayed that success into something much more blasphemous; something that incorporates elements of Warhol-era rampant homosexuality and perversion, electronic “music” and lesbian-influenced haircuts. It is rumored that 1 in 3 women are raped at a Skrillex concert and forced to abort their children soon after.

Over 100% of homosexual gays listen to, or have listened to Skrillex in their life - mostly while participating in door-to-door recruitment for sex orgies or attempting to molest children in one of the patented “Rape Vans” used by the gay homo community.

In addition, Skrillex has launched a grotesque fashion trend, where upon weak-minded woman destroy their hallowed vessels of child birthing by SHAVING the side of their head - the same thing responsible for the downfall of Samson is being ENCOURAGED by this gnome-ish pervert. Skrillex will stop at nothing to get every teen in America hooked on dubstep and “ecstasy” (a potent street drug responsible for terrorism).
