Skrillex

1 upcoming festival

Bass music's shape-shifting elder — from brostep infamy to festival-set transcendence, reinvention as a permanent state.

Skrillex is the stage name of Sonny Moore, a producer and DJ based in Los Angeles. He first became known as the vocalist of the post-hardcore band From First to Last before moving into electronic music at the end of the 2000s, and his early EPs, including Scary Monsters and Nice Sprites, helped define the aggressive, mid-tempo dubstep variant that became known as brostep.

Since then his work has moved through trap, house and pop production, and he has collaborated widely, notably as half of Jack Ü with Diplo. He has also produced and co-written for artists outside dance music, and returned in 2023 with the paired albums Quest for Fire and Don't Get Too Close. His live shows tend to draw on the full span of that catalogue rather than a single style.
