Jack Ü formed in 2013 after the EDM artists decided they liked to DJ together. Their first single, "Take Ü There," dropped in September and the pair continue to be pretty tight. They recently remixed Beyoncé's "7/11."
Skrillex spoke to Howard Stern last month about a variety of topics, including the legitimacy of the EDM genre, which is frequently criticized.
"I guess naturally because it's so new, but it's the cool thing about it. There hasn't been a genre or platform in music in a long time that's been so criticized. Because it's new and people don't understand it, it makes people look old when they criticize it," he said.
"The thing about electronic music, as far as the culture goes and the way the kids connect with the music, it's a lot like a Phish show or Grateful Dead show — we're constantly producing and making new stuff every single day on the road, and they want to hear all the new records. It's almost like what a radio DJ does," he said.
