As we know by now that MTV is “trying” to adapt to the electronic scene… This year they have new award for the best new EDM Artist.

It came down to David Guetta and Skrillex, and in the end Skrillex won the award.

SKRILLEX
also scored a whopping five Grammy nominations, including being the first DJ to land a Best New Artist nod.

Indeed, Moore's musical background — both on his own and as a member of his former group, From First to Last — has carried over into Skrillex's brand of fiery electronica. Skrillex has garnered an audience the world over that includes ravers, house heads and rockers alike. In today's laptop generation of music, Skrillex is the new "rock." !
