For her special "Goodnight Valentine" mix for Annie Mac, Ellie Goulding pulled out all of the stops. Not only was she dropping remixes from Cyril Hahn and The Ninetys/Hucci, she dropped a little bit of hip-hop and some R&B, among other beautiful sounds. She ended her set with this chilling slice of downtempo, a collaboration with her ex-boyfriend entitled "Because." While we don't have too many specifics on the track, Skrillex did say it was made in a hotel room two years ago. It's a gem, and shows that Skrillex is so much more than a turbo-charged dubstep and electro that's associated with his sound; this is much more of a turned down affair, with enough IDM tendencies to keep you calm.
