why would anyone who doesn't play full on bro accept to open for skrillex though? (well, except for money) you're not gonna get any promotion out of it considering the people there wouldn't listen to that type of music

Can imagine he was handsomely paid.
I dunno, guess it gets your name out there, you can say you played in front of 4000 people.

I've chatted w bwana a bit over fb and listened to all his interviews and shit (kind of in obsessed fanboy mode with this guy
) and he seems like a really chill guy, definitely doubt he's in it for the cash, it's pretty much just a hobby for him
he probably just thought it was a cool opportunity - honestly if I got offered to open for skrillex, I seriously doubt I'd turn down the opportunity even if I wasnt getting paid, even tho i dont particularly like his tunes or fan base

if you're in music for a living, you're obviously going to consider the monetary benefit. Not knocking him, bills have gotta be paid, and like you said, it was probs an interesting set anyway!

true rayman, there are wubs. i was thinking either of the tunes on objekt #1 would work better, all the arpeggios and crazy synths and cool shit happening in a nice easily digestible non confusing beat
and no matter how passionate i was about the music or whatever, i ain't gonna judge anyone for not turning down dollar to play in front of skrillex fans. work is work, money is money. respect a man's hustle. always

yup it's possible, in fact now im kind of interested im gonna ask him
even if he did do it for the cash, not a big deal...he's not selling out his music or anything, he's just playing to a different crowd - and fuck, he opened with objekt, definitely not a sell out move
