In which I find a Skrillex bootleg I actually like
My disdain for the floppy haired Korn-bothering dark lord is well known, but really like this mashup by Bynar – a year late on this one and came over it by accident. The New Order, Depeche Mode & Human League (is that the synth bits?) seem to make a complementary dark brooding sense in this,…
