I'm liking these possibilities.

He sampled from Skrillex. Plain and simple. He shouldn't get recognition for sampling someone else's sounds and using them in the same exact way. If he did something creative with them then it would be different.

Not like he's going to get famous or anything, he's just another meh dubstep/house producer bringing nothing new to the game.

i think he is creative... and his stuff is going to come out on Never Say Die in the near future.. so he is def going to be getting more attention.
but no question he straight up JACKED the skrillex bass growl by sampling it.

God listening to this guys music is pissing me off more and more, how can you be comfortable ripping 75% percent of the midranges from another song and rinsing the shit out of them in yours (its one if you sampled it, resampled, made it unrecognizable and made it your own) but he didnt even bother that, and what pisses me off more is reading the comments of those videos "everyone stop saying he copied skrillex, they both use massive, massive has that yaa wei sound, thats why they sound the same"............ REALLY?

does zombyoi live in guildford?
im there this weekend as my brothers playing guilfest.
im gonna go steal his presets then taunt skrillex beggin' children with them.

even better gonna stick them on ebay!

zomboy isnt a house producer

dont ever say he is a house producer

from 58 to 1.02, you can clearly hear he has sampled bits of the bassline pattern in the La Roux - In For The Kill (Skrillex Remix)
his arrangement of the samples is good but i wanna see him come with some original fresh sounds before i make a judgement.
the Bass Cannon remix he's done is kinda sick.

and Skrillex even dropped it when i went to go see him in Manchester but even when i heard it live, i turned to my mate and was like "ehhhh! bass cannon (skrillex remix)?!"
got home and found out it was this random guy, id never heard of before. lol.

^ yeah that’s definitely a sample. But godd*mn he got BUSY with it. I mean if you’re going to steal, then at least do it justice. & I have to admit he’s close...

are you kidding me?

Tbh Skrillex doesn't seem like the kind of person who would care about people sampling him.

Its not that, its that this guy is getting exposure up the bollocks and doesnt even make his own shit

That kind of pisses me off too. I almost feel like I could make some good songs if I just used presets/patches, but I'm still at the beginner level since I've actually been trying to learn the theory of synthesis, mixing, effects, etc. Apparently it took him only a month of producing to get to the level he's at. Unfair if you ask me. He sounds like a very lazy person.

This is pretty weak. Sampling is all good and well, but sampling an artist who is currently at the top of his genre, to make a song of the same style, ain't too classy.

Did nobody read the part where i said i live with him and i know he makes his own sounds so how does that mean he doesnt make his own shit?

lol i actually talked to him once, he makes all his shit man trust and many other people i talk to talk to him all the time and he makes everything

Cool story, bro.

Soundcloud

That's only one sound, I heard plenty more.

Granted I haven't listened to skrillex in a hot minute but that really wasn't his sound. Same melodic style, but not nearly similar enough patches to accuse him of sampling.

Mannnnnyy , don't you hear the extereme resemblence? Yeah some of the wobbles r original, but the other ones

EDIT: 1000TH post FTW!

Cool story bro

if zomboy made the patches, I bet he sold them to skrillex to use.
