- ‘Scary Monsters and Nice Sprites’ (2010) By 2010, dubstep had punctured the mainstream thanks to the likes of Skream, Flux Pavilion and Nero. At the same time in downtown LA, Skrillex, as he told Dazed in December 2019, “was in my warehouse with some blown KRK speakers trying to make music that Flux Pavilion, 12th Planet, Bare Noize, Noisia would hopefully play in a set”.
- ‘Breakn’ A Sweat’ w/ The Doors (2011) Given Skrillex’s sturdy reputation for working with a whole host of big musical names, one of his earliest collaborations still remains something of a head-scratcher. ‘
- ‘Bangarang’ w/ Sirah (2012) With his solo career now in full swing, Skrillex ushered in 2012 with the face-melting wobble of ‘Bangarang’ from his December 2011 EP of the same name (a record he later defended as being “probably the furthest thing from brostep, because the tempos aren’t even dubstep tempos”).
- ‘Make It Bun Dem’ w/ Damian “Jr. Gong” Marley (2012) While also memorably featuring in the 2012 Ubisoft game Far Cry 3, ‘Make It Bun Dem’ marked Skrillex’s first major post-‘Bangarang’ release.
- That Haircut. After bomb track "Nice Sprites and Scary Monsters," the most memorable aspect of Skrillex's ascent has been his signature coiffure – basically, buzzed off on one side with a long emo flip opposite (possibly with some sort of grid or message or tattoo adorning the shaved side).
- He changed EDM’s hustle. Sure, Tiësto and other superstar DJs may make more money, but they haven't won six Grammys or scored a major motion picture (Spring Breakers) or won an Annie Award (for helping to score the animated feature Wreck-It Ralph, in which Skrillex also appeared).
- He makes you feel old. Perhaps Skrillex's most powerful role has been as the official Generational/Cultural Dividing Line. When his name crops up in conversation amongst, say, over-25s, it's usually someone noting how creaky and out-of-it he or she feel upon hearing his music.
- He’s a generous benefactor. Via his Atlantic-distributed OWLSA imprint, Skrillex has helped launch the careers of Porter Robinson, Birdy Nam Nam, Dillon Francis, Zedd, and more, giving the impression that his movement is an unstoppable force that doesn't need major-label advice to unlock millenials' wallets.
American DJ and music producer Skrillex has released three studio albums, seven extended plays, 46 singles (including 17 as a featured artist), and 54 music videos. [1]
Now he strives in mainstream success, playing monstrous live sets, releasing songs that rack up millions of listens and producing for the likes of Justin Bieber, A$AP Rocky, Ty Dolla...
