Skrillex sets BBC Radio 1 record


Skrillex might be one of the most controversial figures in EDM but that hasn’t stopped him for winning six Grammy awards, amassing over 15 million social media followers and now making history on BBC Radio 1.

Yesterday, Skrillex’s label OWSLA announced that his recent “Essential Mix” has become the most played piece of content in BBC Radio 1 history. Big ups to Skrill for the achievement.
