skrillex: i think back when we , i came in as a dj.siders from this thing, doing it our own way. in the beginning no one considered us musicians. now we have gained a lot more respect from a lot of different artists. a lot of people even four or feesyears ago, a lot of credible people consider us musicians. but media and the outside world didn't. now people trust us a low but more. we never set out to make radio records. nationally our sound is starting to cross over. diplo: we have a lot of producers, their main goal is to get on the radio and sell records. our fan base is going to be there regardless if we are making music for fans. we performed live and we think about how the kids at our shows going to like this. charlie: how do you measure success? is it in your head or some other way? diplo: i just want to make great music. i want music to give me goosebumps. it happened with this record. this was really special. thing when you make a record and play for the first time in front of an audience you feel a connect. where he really sh

skrillex: that has changed. and 1980's. diplo: in french music from the 1960's. electronic music got its notoriety with summer records. it evolves into hip-hop, into dance music, into new wave, into industrial music, all the way up to us. we're a culmination of everything that happened before us. we are another filter that comes out. charlie: we have a clip, here it is. >> what i hope is that we can take this technological shift and make it not just being about listening to music to being about how we create music. when you think about the internet, it is not just audio. it is audio, visual, and interactive. what is the future of music going to be in that format that is not just about the actual sound itself anymore? it is about the sound, the visual and perhaps maybe the , interactive part. charlie: would you agree with him? skrillex: absolutely. i think inevitably it is coming together. diplo: i think the one thing that has led us to be successful is that a lot of artists before us, they had a battle of stream

skrillex: they are getting younger too.to dance music. it got to a lot of rap music, a lot of underground rock music. it is all part of our scene. skrillex: young kids in hip-hop, it is music you can't really put a genre on. nothing is fancy. we don't need all these people around. we make it in our own environment and have a good time. charlie: what about drugs? this is what the guardian wrote. "molly has roughly coincided with the ascent of skrillex and the clumsily named electronic dance music to the top of the u.s. dance music charts." skrillex: i think with every generation of music -- charlie: are you responsible for the ascent of molly? skrillex: if you look at any era where music exploded in youth culture, just because of the bigger ratio creates a bigger ratio of drugs. drugs were used in the disco era, cocaine. obviously lsd and marijuana. there are always drugs. this year it happened to be molly. before there was skrillex, and dma and ecstasy have been going on since the beginning. it inevitably got bigger with th

skrillex: it was the timing. the internet and being able to share media happened at the same time and , programs are so accessible. people that are younger coming into music. coming from a band, i found it easier to express myself through a computer. it is a one-stop shop. music videos are all made by us. diplo: the distribution chain is broken. it used to be when you had a band you get your band together, , find some friends that like to make music, you find a garage and rehearse for weeks and weeks find someone to borrow some , money or use a studio to record a record, may be fine a label find someone who wants to promote. that is a two-year process. now it is diy. i can reach somebody in a couple of hours and that record could be catapulted into something on the radio. they still have things like being bands, but we are in a different world. we are very grassroots and we are mistreating it -- distributing it ourselves. skrillex: the renaissance of all art has become to digitize with computer and cell phones. p

rose: and we conclude this evening with two influential stars of electronic dance music, diplo and skrillex. >> you have to be able to have one foot in the creative music and the creation of the media around the musk and the way your m not a musician but i have always been obsessed with music and i create music now and i've learned how to play music on my own. i think it's bigger than just getting a guitar and putting something together am you have to create an atmosphere am when you create the electronic, it's little more complex. >> when are you playing a show, the energy you get from the stage is undescribable. and it's just like this constant feedback, you know am like a cycle. an when you're in the studio with people, when you have good energy, people are having fun and feeling the music it inspires you to continue to go down the right place, lin-manuel miranda, thomas kail, skrillex and diplo. >> funding for charlie rose is provided by american express. >> rose: additional funding provided by: >> and by bloomberg, a provider of multimedia news and information services worldwide. capti
