How bout this fucking article from straight.com?
One of the most ignorant pieces we've read to date, and that includes christwire articles covering skrillex.

(Straight.com) Let’s just cut the shit for a minute and say it: electronic dance music is the stupidest music on the planet. It even has a fittingly dumb name, EDM, which makes me cringe every time I see it. More so than the acronym, though, the reason it sucks is because the amount of talent required to perform it is precisely none.
Case in point: Paris Hilton recently made her DJ debut in Brazil. She can’t give a competent on-screen blowjob—Christ, you just put it in your mouth and spin your head around like Linda Blair—but she sure can throw down Gotye remixes and Avicii tracks to big crowds.

Jungle (VZLKS Remix) - Emma Louise
A young producer by the name of Alex Vazelakis inboxed us this remix of "Jungle"(VZLKS Remix) by Emmas Louise. It's a well done chill remix that he added synths and a quality 4/4 beat to breathe life into a track that would otherwise be absent from dance floors.
Listen to the original track below to guage for yourself the changes and additions made in the remix above.
