"To be honest my vibe gets killed the most when I'm concentrating too much on what is around me and thinking too much about it all," Moore states. "I have the most fun when I let my inhibitions check out, right at that point things just start to happen."
It started to go well for Sonny when he filtered out the noise and distraction of his world as a solo artist and started mining the ephemeral moments he had been sharing with friends in clubs and parties across the city he calls home since his mid-teen years. The restless, urgent and kaleidoscopic sounds of EDM and bass music had spoken to him for the best part of a decade, one day he just started talking back.
"Making music is the same as DJing," he offers. "You continue along the path that leaves you most inspired. When you think too much you put limits on what is possible, the best parts are always instinctual rather than something too considered or planned out."

Second time we have seen him. Love his music, his energy, his passion!
I've seen plenty of EDM acts at the now-defunct Knitting Factory where the headliner didn't make the stage until well after midnight, but was under the impression that since this show was all-ages, with a starting time of 6 PM, that it might be worth attending even though I had to work the next day. Unfortunately, it was 4 hours of opening acts before Skrillex appeared, and none of the acts, including Skrillex, were very good. As is common with musical artists, he seems at mid-career to have used up the best of his creative impulses. But, it's worth noting that he did this as a charity event, and should receive props for that generosity, as well as his generally effusive and upbeat personal style.
It was great. Skrillex show was awesome. You got these bracelets that went with the music. Very fun. The show was long enough to enjoy. The acts before Skrillex were good. They turned the men's restroom into a women's so that really helped with lines. The only downside was that the line to buy drink tickets was very long and confusing.
It was a cold wet October night... I grew up on rock and metal shows. My first concert was Pink Floyd and I have had many favorite shows through out the years but, lately not much has been all that exciting. Until...I had never attended a live DJ/Electronic show before but I had really been getting into the music lately. Other people I know into dubstep and electronic put Skrillix down and sure there are other amazing acts out there but, I was completely blown away! The opening, opening acts were okay but once GTA hit the stage the energy started make an upturn. It was getting louder and darker outside. Then bring on Gig Gigantic, they were really ramping it up. (And that saying something. I never/rarely get into opening acts I'm not familiar with) Once Skrillix came out the crowd was READY! Skrillix live is so different from his produced releases. Different in the best way possible. He primes your expectation for that drop you been waiting for. The drop your expecting if you have been listing to his recorded tracks. But oh no, he draws it out longer and longer on the live track till you feel like your going to lose your mind then DROP! And the crowd loses it! The familiar mixed with the unexpected! I'm not a dancer and I'm not a young guy but I didn't stop moving for the entire set. All the songs blend seamlessly from one to the next in a frenzy of sight and sound. After a bit I was no longer cold, down to a t-shirt and the rain only added to the light show with laser light bouncing off of raindrops. And with that, this show cracked my top 5 of this long time concert goer.
I feel like the music is subpar at best, but that's what you're going to get with all these major artists these days. I didn't really like the amount of trap played for the later sets. Surprisingly, I liked the opening sets more. However, preference for music is subjective and I'm not a huge dubstep aficionado. I was really turned off mostly by the ticketing system to buy drinks, which resulted in long lines followed by another long line for actual drinks. In addition, I thought it was really shady that they listed two prices for "cocktail" beverages yet only charged for $15 premiums instead of the $12. I called them out on it, but the cashier can only do so much.
First EDM concert. Thought it was amazing. Lots of energy. Definitely want to travel to see him again.
I've seen Skrillex once before on the Mothership Tour, and yes the stage setup was a lot cooler then, the sound is so much better now. What he plays and his presence are just unreal. The only reason I gave 4 stars is because the opening acts were kind of eh, but Skrill himself killed it.
Really great show, venue was amazing as Always. The performers were great! Totally enormous extinct dinosaurs was a little.. Different than the flow they had going on so maybe should have been one of the first to not have gotten things mixed up like that. But Mija was amazing first time I've ever heard her and Salva KILLED it. Skrillex.. Oh boy skrillex I don't even have to say anything about that one.
Skrillex never disappoints. And since it was Halloween, it simply was a lot of fun.
Venue was great and Skrillex put on a awesome performance..... definitely recommend it
You walk in, and you're handed a light bracelet with the Skrillex and Owsla logos on it. It flashes red light and eventually, everyone's shuts off. When Skrillex came on, the bracelets went back on and were flashing all sorts of colors. This was something I've never seen before and I thought it was so dope! Skrillex killed it as always; music had me going so crazy I got whiplash. The venue was perfect and the vibes were on point. Definitely recommend!
Skrillex was good, I loved his music and he is great.. but every other dj was horrible, the crowd was also super dead I blame the crap djs that opened
This show was super intimate without being overly crowded! Loved that.
I thought the show was okay, if I'm going to a electronic/dance/techno concert I could really do without the rap music the DJ's are starting to include in their sets. This is probably my least favorite thing about Skrillex and some of his openers lately. I will likely not attend another one of his shows knowing how much rap he's starting to play into his set. I did like the venue and I would have liked to have seen more people dress up for Halloween.
The lights are amazing and the wristbands were icing on the cake. Everyone's set was really good and I enjoyed the crowd.
dem wristbands were pretty dope doe. totally enormous extinct dinosaurs killed it without any special effects so 5/5 for him!
Skrillex was extremely great. The only thing I didnt like was how long the people were playing before him. I bought my tickets to see Skrillex. Not three bands Ive never heard of before. It would have been nicer if he played before midnight, that's all Im trying to say.
Energy in the whole place was awesome! Would go see Skrillex again.
Honestly, this concert was totally unforgettable. Mija and Skrillex were my two favorite DJs at the event. Mija had her thing going on which got me riled up and ready to rave. Then Skrillex coming out last, finishing strong. It felt like it was never going to end. It was 100% pure eargasms for the entire concert.
