He's not the only producer to have done that! "Dreamcast" by Blank Banshee samples the vocals from "Resistor" by Shinjuku Mad (who Banshee was the bassist for).
@@TheJohnsofDoes no that's not it look at the way he chopped that shit. and keep in mind this was back in 2011 when EDM music like this was still new and interesting
@@brzosko_ok4114 ok and? Skrillex used the concept of chopping samples up in a new and inventive way. he was a young, skillful, and creative producer which was exciting back then. and the fact that he sampled himself just makes it cooler. nobody's saying he's Mozart but his mind is insanely creative
his "emo-ish" stuff is somehow one of my favorite things on earth, even tho I'm generally not into that kind of music. I think he's kind of ashamed of that era but goddamn I love the Gipsyhook and Bells EPs...
Nghtmre sampled Beyonce in his old song 'Street'. I don't really think you need to pay anyone if your discreet enough. But I'm glad he had enough love for his old 'Sonny Moore' stuff to include it in his rebranded self, Skrillex.
I had no idea these were his vocals!! I remember going nuts back in middle school when I realized that was his voice in Scary Monsters, now I'm a sophomore in college and my mind is blown once again. You really do learn smth new every day lol
My man you have to check out "Sonny" and From First To Last. FFTL was (is?) an emo kinda rock group he fronted, and he was quite the lead singer. Spencer Sotelo from Periphery took his place after he left, so that just shows you how high the standards were for someone to replace Skrillex. Sonny is a project he started before Skrillex, and the most popular songs he made while using that name were off the Gypsyhook EP, namely Mora, Gyspyhook, and Copaface 2. Also, there's a japanese version of Mora on the album called Kai Sui, so now you also know Skrillex can speak japanese. Just cool info I thought I'd share.
@@robadobflob3405 I loved his shit as Sonny back in the day! And my mind was blown when I first heard Emily by FFTL. I wish he still used his own vocals in his music today, dude's got some serious pipes
@@kimdraculaz I heard that he had some problems with his vocal chords and so he stopped singing for a while... I dont know if he had surgery or if it subsided, but I do remember hearing some stories about how he wanted to continue as a vocalist but couldnt due to vocal health reasons, and after he stopped singing he realized that singing wasn't his passion - it was electronic music production.
tbh a lot of electronic producers don't get the praise they deserve when it comes to flipping samples. Some of the most creative flips I've heard came from the electronic world
its insane because listening to your original isolation of the sample before he finished the song he could've made an extremely different sounding melody. sound production like this is so crazy to me
@@theemeraldcrown1 I thnk he meant how this guy realised where the sample was from, cause that seems to make more sense. Finding something to sample seems like the easy part. Heck, the "call 911 now!" in this song was sampled from some fat woman having a rant in a park. The hard part, however, is sublty placing it in with just enough to be recognizable but being different. I was always mesmerized by the intro to First Of The Year, but I never knew it was something Skrillex had sung himself. I always assume that stuff is from random vocals on the internet. Sorry for the long essay, I was just in the mood😀
I saw this video at first i skipped it. It came again in my recommendations and i was like okaay let me play. Turns out it was my favourite beat in my dancing years.. NOSTALGIA❤
Greatest producer of all time if you really analyze his impact and innovation. To this day nobody has release as much complex work. Edm today is just cheap 4 chords and repetitious chorus melodies. Skrillex did it for fun, but many artist, like the chainsmokers are trying fit into the fad. Skrillex was one of a kind in every way, and everybody wanted to copy him. He didn't try to fit in, but created a perfect hybrid of hardcore music and electronic to his liking, which branded a completely new definition of dubstep, he likely didn't intend.
Honestly I doubt he had the flip planned out ahead, he probably had the chops in pads or keys and started messing with them until he found a cool pattern to use.
Dubstep was but wobbles and mostly sounded like Flux Pavillion - I Can't Stop. Skrillex introduced synths and complex sound designs to make Brostep. Artists who failed to go that route evolved to form Deathstep. Dubstep could still be the most difficult genre to produce.

So what does it mean?

Got goosebumps when the track started playing backwards!
Prolly due to the chords in the background, I got it too
Don't know why... the transition on 0:22 give me chills🥶
yup, me too.
Yeah you are not the only one me too i did listen to that part more than 20 times to see if it's part of song i know or what happening to me 😂😅
Bruhh same, I be replying that part so many times and never fails to give me chills down my spine
Because you get to experience the chilling talent this man has
mee too
It’s really cool that Skrillex samples less known artist like Sonny Moore to show their music
@shushuzinhu BRUH AIN’T NO WAY

What I like about Skrillex is how he reuses and samples his old stuff. So the more he produces, the more entrenched he is in his own signature sound
I never knew he sampled himself, that's crazy
0:18 - 0:44 Gave me chills🔥
Skrillex is a fucking genius, he sampled himself!
I'm always amazed how people find samples like that 🤔

the title of the song itself gave it away otherwise i dont think anyone woulda found it for a while
reversed, pitched, and chopped his own vocals! excellent job breaking it down
okay but he actually has the best voice to sample. I love it.
Imagine if Skrillex made a Concert with that as the Beginning of it. It would give me goosebumbs fr
This Chanel is definitely underrated.
Wow he processed the vocals so well in the final release. This is my favourite video on this channel
He literally built the phrase "baby you got a nightmare" out of a sample where none of these words were said, what a genious
nobody is talking about how good his voice is tho
These videos blow my mind
dude the reverse to equinox is INSANEE
i love that skrillex samples himself
So that’s why it’s called equinox it was a song he did earlier well damn you learn something new everyday
He Made 2 Songs Called Equinox
"Equinox"
"First of the New Year (Equinox)"
skrillex is a fucking genius
I’ve watched this an unhealthy amount of times…it gets better every time
Same here I just like watching it for some reason, I want to make music like skrillex
Sampling your own song = legendary
this keeps coming up in my recommended and I keep watching it
Same lol
Same
quality of this breakdown is absolutely amazing!
Wow! I've always asked myself why it it was called equinox and after years you finally delivered the answer. Thanks!
Skrillex sampled Skrillex...
Impressive!
BRAVO WTF this is mind blowing.... ingenious!!
After watching couple sample breakdown i realise that. It was brilliant
this is fugging sick bruh wahadel
THIS SONG IS A SAMPLE? NO WAAAYYYY
A sample of his own
skrillex sampled skrillex
@@conxxep Well yes, but actually no
Skrillex sampled _Sonny Moore_
Isa joke btw il Skrillex is Sonny
Skrillex uses a lot of samples and so do so many other EDM producers

ok but why did I get goosebumps over this😭
gives me goosebumps, genius
0:16
Genuinely one of the best samples ever
There’s just nothing to create the melody which he made… but he’s managed it
I can't go into how God tier this sampling is
Next level editing on this one
WOOOOOOOW!!!!!! You are amazing in every way possible. Respect 👏🏻👏🏻
this dude got so much hate in his heyday but is a pretty damn good producer in hindsight
The Goat of Goat 👽
This channel should grow more the editing is crazy
0:24 for some reason this sounds waaay better than first of the year og (it would be even better without the metronome click)
finally after 5 years of this being my very first bought skrillex song i can now finally understand why it was called First of the year (Equinox)
Sample your own song is legends
Dude it's so legit...
This was absolutely unexpected 👍👍
wow I had no idea! such a creative sample, also double creative because he sampled himself haha
Flipped that like crazy
Please make more Sample Breakdowns
Thanks algorithm, haven't heard this song in years. Had no idea he sampled one of his old tracks let alone did it in reverse .
Or maybe I forgot .
THAT'S ACTUALLY SOOOO COOL
Skrillex sampled himself for almost every song... Sonny is a gem and will always be no matter dubstep or something else
HE SAMPLED HIMSELF, WHAT A MAD LAD.
He's the monster in producing oh my god

This is insane🤯 how can he even think about that
Honestly I doubt he had the flip planned out ahead, he probably had the chops in pads or keys and started messing with them until he found a cool pattern to use.
After all these years I’m finally learning about this
MAN I GOT GOOSEBUMPS :OOOO
Creating a beat with such short samples that also makes sense musically isn’t easy.
Okay but this is brilliant 👏
SICK! this insane!
To be honest, I am impressed in his skill to pick parts to sample but not in how he used them in the end.
this video needs more views
a king of the sample
I adore your work bro… it’s sooo helpful in understanding of how music can be made! Thank you 🙏🏻
This is absolutely mad. Great video, subscribed!

WHAT HE IS THE ARTIST HE SAMPLED?

Basically himself
Reminds me of how Porter Robinson sampled an unreleased collab he had with Kero Kero Bonito for Musician! 🔥🔥🔥
wtf!!! amazing
OMG always chills lol awesome
