In a conversation with Summit Series&#8217; Jeff Rosenthal at last month&#8217;s IMS Engage conference in Los Angeles, Sonny Moore revealed that he recently purchased an 11,000-square-foot building in Chinatown where he is building a studio for &#8220;in-the-box producers&#8221; like himself \u2014 that is, traveling laptoppers who could benefit from a high-tech home base for plugging in and jamming out.<\/p>\n<p>But, rather than constructing an industry hit factory, his vision sounds a lot more like Warhol&#8217;s Factory \u2014 a multi-disciplinary creative hub where collision and collaboration are at the root of everything. &#8220;There&#8217;s nothing in L.A. that&#8217;s like that for our generation,&#8221; said Skrillex. &#8220;We have our own team and our label&#8217;s going to be in there, building an actual physical infrastructure. Up until a couple months ago my team was all over the world, and everything was by email, but I think people tend to forget that when everyone&#8217;s in the same room, everything goes 50 times faster. Ideas keep pouring out, and you get a lot more done. So [I&#8217;m] building a home for our culture and our scene and a place to even document it and show people what it is. Because it&#8217;s more than what most media thinks of electronic music \u2014 there&#8217;s so much more behind why it&#8217;s there, why it came out of nowhere.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Early in the conversation, the full video of which was posted to the\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.internationalmusicsummit.com\/ims-engage\" target=\"_blank\">IMS website<\/a>\u00a0last week, Moore talks about his years spent navigating the vagaries of major-label contracts, first with From First to Last and then as Sonny Moore; he attributes much of Skrillex&#8217; success to a DIY-inspired philosophy you might call &#8220;DIO&#8221; \u2014 Do It Ourselves<\/p>\n<p>[ <a href=\"http:\/\/www.spin.com\/articles\/skrillex-andy-warhol-inspired-bass-factory-los-angeles-chinatown\/\" target=\"_blank\">click to continue reading at SPIN.com<\/a> ]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>from SPIN Skrillex Is Building a Warhol-Inspired Bass Factory in Los Angeles&#8217; Chinatown by\u00a0Philip Sherburne 11,000-square-foot OWSLA nest will give &#8220;in-the-box&#8221; producers their wings After living in hotels for the past decade, Skrillex seems to be settling into his newfound digs in Los Angeles quite nicely.
