Simple question, i'd be interested to hear everyones opinion on him. I personally love his stuff, but understand that he's not to everyone's taste.

He isn't a DJ... He's a producer. I get what you're saying as he can be replaced by a laptop live, but his merit is in the sounds he creates beforehand. Having said that, it's not everyone's cup of tea, but his dumb/loud/dance your ass off dubstep is fine with me, I liked both Bangarang and the Ghosts Monsters EP. I wouldn't call myself a fan of the genre as it's really oversaturated and there's a lot of crap, but hey, at least they're trying something new, I guess that's the point of music, isn't it?

P.S. His new track with Damian Marley is killer.

I like him but I prefer his older stuff. (Myspace albums, which is technically electronic/house.)

What makes a true dj Circaflex? Surely the majority of the work electronic dance music producers and dj's do is in the studio.

Dubstep can be good, but Skrillex just brings pain to my ears.
