Samsung Galaxy Experience and Electric presents The Skrillex Mothership SA Tour powered by 5FM and MK. Arguably the world’s sickest beat-dropper and no stranger to hectic tour schedules, Skrillex will be visiting Johannesburg, Cape Town and Durban for his 2013 tour in South Africa. We have three double tickets to give away, read on to see how to win!
Six-times Grammy Award winner and MTV’s EDM Artist of the Year for 2011 Skrillex has recently released a surprisingly low-key EP called Leaving featuring tracks ‘Scary Bolly Dub’, ‘Leaving’ and ‘The Reason’. ‘Leaving’ is a down-tempo song that was recorded in a Mexico City hotel room, and its muted nature is unlike the usual Skrillex sound, but has been as widely appreciated among his fans.
Skrillex further teamed up with Damian Marley to make a groundbreaking collaboration ‘Make It Bun Dem’, blending reggae and dubstep in ways nobody thought was possible — it’s currently charting on 5FM. Other hits on rotation on 5FM are ‘Breakin’ a Sweat’ with the surviving members of The Doors, demonstrating considerable growth in terms of production style and diversity.
Skrillex will be gracing SA shores on the following dates presenting three raucous nights of wild revelry.
Friday 1 March at Ostrich Farm in CPT – Doors open 6pm
Saturday 2 March at H2O, Wild Waters in JHB – Doors open 12pm
Sunday 3 March at the Wavehouse in DBN- Doors open 3pm

Skrillex is leading the way in the dubstep genre , and always pushing boundaries , When skrillex won those first 3 grammies it really put dubstep on the map in terms of an underground music genre…
he is the poster boy of Dubstep, when people say dubstep you automatically think SKRILLEX.

Never been a fan of electronic dance, but when I heard Skrillex’s sound it totally melted my face off. His collaboration with Ziggy Marley is just beyond insaaaaanneee! And it think I should totes win the tickets to experience this mind blowing concert!
P.s: I’m really broke, so if I win these tickets it’d metaphorically make me very rich… Rich with joy and happiness

I am a HUGE fan of skrillex. one of my dreams (literally I have had dreams of this) is to see him live. there’s not one day that I will go without listening to a skrillex song, volume on its loudest with my earphones. I crave the bass and it just puts me in such a good mood. when I found out he was coming, I couldn’t contain my excitement. I knew I would try my best to be at that show. unfortunately, my finances don’t seem to agree. seeing skrillex will make me the happiest girl in the world and I know that night will be the greatest. all I’m asking is for you to give me this incredible opportunity to see my ultimate music god in must mother city cape town and to make my dream a reality. begging with all my heart. <3 for the love of music..

I can honestly admit I am one of the biggest fans of skrillex. I have had dreams about seeing him live. there is not one day that I go without listening to one of his songs on full volume with my earphones in and getting a good feeling from the music. I crave the bass. unfortunately I am not financially stable to afford a ticket to see him. when I heard he was coming I couldn’t contain my excitement. all I want is to be able to see skrillex my ultimate music god in my mother city cape town and making those dreams a reality. I can see myself standing in the crowd listening to all those songs I know at the loudest I’ll ever hear them. please give me this amazing opportunity to make me one of the happiest girls at that concert. <3 for the love of music.

I can honestly admit I am one of the biggest fans of Skrillex. Ever since I heard the first song from him, i was hooked. I have had dreams about seeing him live one day and that day has finally come. There is not one day i go without listening to one or all of his songs on full volume with my earphones in and getting a good feeling from the music. Whenever i hear a Skrillex song around any place, i get a smile on my face. I crave the bass. When i heard he was coming i could not contain my excitement. Unfortunately, i now sit with a heavy heart due to the fact that i cant afford a ticket. All i want is to be able to see my music god in my mother city, cape town, and making my dreams a reality. I can see myself standing in the crowd of people waiting for his amazing music to play on the biggest speakers possible. Please give me this opportunity to make me one of the happiest girls at that show, this is all i ask. I sincerely hope you consider my story. from a very big fan that really needs a ticket <3 for the love of music.

Skrillex – the BEST thing that has happened to dubstep in a VERY long time. His music is the infectious, in the best kind of way.
Cape Town will be BLOW away on the 1st of March and I would love to be blown away with it (instead of sitting at home, watching re-runs, feeling sorry for myself).
So, please please please help me out guys. I shall be eternally grateful.

Skrillex is The best thing to hit The dubstep nation. I mean dubstep has gained the much needed attention from the EDM fans and its all due to him. His sound is out of this world and he’s only just getting started. Skrillex you Rock. Durban will be happy to have you play live in this beautiful city ;).

How about a joke
Little Johnny has a problem — he excessively gambles. So his dad calls Johnny’s new teacher and states, “My son, Johnny, will be starting your class tomorrow, but he likes to gamble. So keep an eye out for him.” The teacher agrees to.
The next day, Little Johnny walks into class, greets the teacher, and says with a smirk, “I bet you ten bucks that you’ve got a mole on your butt.” His teacher, thinking that she can break Little Johnny’s gambling problem by proving him wrong, takes him up on the bet. She pulls her pants down in front of the entire class, but there was no mole. Little Johnny hands her a R10 note and walks away.
Little Johnny goes home, telling his dad that he lost ten bucks to the teacher and why.His dad calls the teacher and says, “Johnny said that he bet ten bucks that you had a mole on your butt… and he lost.”
The teacher says, “Yes, and I think I may have broken his gambling problem.”
Johnny’s dad says, “No, you didn’t; He bet me R200 this morning that he’d get to see your butt by the end of the day.”
A hint of humour to better my chances

Skrillex is the origin dub step master, he is the originator the grand master, like in all those old chinese fighting movies, those old grey guys, the knows who know all the moves all the time and if someone tries to fight them he will FINISH THEM.
Skrillex is what got me into dub step and drum and bass, now I can’t get enough. I start my course on the 4th of march so this would be the best and only way to end off my partying for 4 months, I’ve always wanted to get skrillex to come down to cape town and now he is here, I want to cry from happiness. I’ve never been to a big concert only festivals and what not, so for a first time this would be orgasmic.
I need this.
I need this.
I need this.
PLEASE!!!

Well, I know there are a lot of haters out there, but Skrillex has done a lot to make the genre of dubstep more accessible and for that, we all have a lot to be thankful for. I do miss him as front man for From First to Last, but I think he’s only gone from strength to strength in his music career.
I’d love to experience his music live, so please swing some tickets this way

If You like Skrillex or if you dont one thing is for sure, he pushes the boundaries of music. This can only be a good thing, imagine if the creator of dubstep didn’t feel he could push the boundaries, try new thing, entertain people in a new way, making them move during a fantastic moment in their life. This only means one thing, Skrillex is good for dubstep and music in general hence his 6 grammies! Well done Skrillex for changing the face of music and showing people something new in a amazing way – music!

HONESTLY.. I have been a dubstep junkie since way before it started getting radio play, basically went to all the local dub gigs including RubaDub & Ridd’Ems which have unfortunately ended now and then attending ALL other events and festivals which play dubstep like Earthdance etc. & then listened to Skrillex when not at these kief events, he is literally thee only international dubstep dj that I actually listen to, the rest of them are our local dj’s such as Grimehouse and Niskerone who are my ultimate favorites my life revolves around dubstep! anyway, of course I bought my tickets on the day it was released – I literally ran to checkers from my office in my heels out of fear it was going to sell out :p like I said, major fan! however, 2 of my best friends who are dying to go unfortunately do not have the funds for it so I’d like to be that super awesome friend who surprises them with free tickets I will literally even make them dress up as giant seeds with your name on it “One Small Seed” PLEASE HAVE A HEART thanks guys, keep rocking!

Skrillex without a doubt is one of the best things to happen in the music industry. I’ve been a fan ever since I heard my face bass drop and been bouncing ever since to the sick beats he produces. Skrillex has pushed the boundries of music and allowed the world to experience the fine are of perfect dubstep. Of all the artists involved with dubstep such as Beardyman, Datsik, Pretty Lights etc. Skrillex always comes out on top. To be able to experience such a legend live in concert along with two other incredible artists such as Niskerone and Haezer will be a complete once in a life time experience! CAPE TOWN!
