David Guetta has praised fellow producer Skrillex for his Grammy and BBC Sound Of 2012 nominations.
The 'Who's that Chick' DJ claims the public recognition of Skrillex is good for the dance community as a whole.
"It's a statement: I think it's really good that an artist from our community is nominated just as 'an artist.' Not as a 'dance' artist, you know?" he said before adding "I think that it's good that [our] music is now getting the attention and the respect that all the other styles of music, like hip-hop, are getting."
Guetta, himself a multiple Grammy winner, seemed perfectly content being out of the limelight for once.
"He's extremely talented, and I'm very happy for him," he said.
Skrillex is on the longlist for BBC Sound Of 2012 and was nominated for five Grammys including Best New Artist.
