Keeping track of new music, media and industry news.

Skrillex was the lucky recipient of a trip to NASA’s Johnson Space Center in Houston this week, where he ate space food, met astronauts and took a virtual space walk, although sadly wasn’t blasted to Mars to play a final set with the Rover. Why was he there? Well, no one really knows. SPIN asked his publicist, who was as clueless as everyone else:

“”I’m gonna be dead honest with you, they won’t tell me why they went. In fact, I don’t think THEY know why they went, basically they hit me up a year ago asking to give him a tour, I can only assume that’s what’s going on.”

Personally we’re hoping for an EDM remix of the Close Encounters alien communication music…
