Dubstep star Skrillex has spent much of the past year on the road, but sources tell Us Weekly that the producer has been dating British pop singer Ellie Goulding. According to the source, the two met through mutual acquaintances in the record industry in Los Angeles, where he lives and she has been spending much of her time.

"It's a really cool new romance and they get along perfectly," the source explains. "They're really good together. Everybody thinks it's awesome. Both of them are so talented. It's a great L.A. romance for her now that she hasn't been in London."

Skrillex, also known as Sonny Moore, has been riding high in recent months. On top of headlining several festivals and selling out a string of live dates in Los Angeles and New York City, the producer took home three Grammys on Sunday night, including Best Dance Recording for his song "Scary Monsters and Nice Sprites."

“Time to Pretend”

MGMT | 2008

Listening to MGMT’s breakthrough song, one might interpret it as being about the excesses of rock stardom, but it’s actually about the duo’s pet praying mantis. Ben Goldwasser and Andrew VanWyngarden told Rolling Stone they got the idea from the insect's jerky movements. The mantis died, but the two bandmates kept the egg sack and allowed the hundreds of eggs to hatch. “We tried to name them all, but they died after a day,” said Goldwasser, with VanWyngarden chiming in, “But the praying mantis dance inspired us.”
