Can you believe it’s been 13 years since Skrillex dropped his iconic ‘Bangarang’ EP?! Yes, thirteen years! Although Skrillex had already won three Grammys prior to the release of ‘Bangarang’ would solidify his place as a household name and cement his status as a music icon.

Before ‘Bangarang’, Skrillex had already taken home Grammys for Best Dance Recording with ‘Scary Monsters and Nice Sprites’, Best Dance/Electronica Album for the Scary Monsters and Nice Sprites EP, and Best Remixed Recording, Non-Classical for ‘Cinema’ (Skrillex Remix), all in 2012.

With ‘Bangarang’, Skrillex proved he wasn’t just a dubstep sensation—he was, indeed, a genre-defining artist. The EP achieved #1 on charts worldwide, including the Australian Dance Albums, US Billboard Top Dance/Electronic Albums, and UK Dance Albums. It went on to achieve platinum certification in Australia, Austria, Canada, Mexico, New Zealand, Switzerland, and the United States, while being certified gold in the UK.

The success of ‘Bangarang’ didn’t stop at the charts. In 2013, Skrillex earned two more Grammys for Best Dance/Electronica Album for the ‘Bangarang’ EP and Best Dance Recording for the title track, ‘Bangarang’ (featuring Sirah). These wins made him the most Grammy-awarded electronic music artist in history, a testament to his innovative sound and global influence.

With ‘Bangarang’, Skrillex’s career reached stratospheric heights. He became a headliner at major music festivals like Coachella, Ultra Music Festival, and Tomorrowland. The music video for ‘Bangarang’ became a viral sensation, gaining 1 million views within days of release. To date, it has racked up an astonishing 957 million views on YouTube.

Skrillex’s collaborations during this time further showcased his versatility. In 2011, he teamed up with Ellie Goulding for the melodic track ‘Summit’ which was featured on the ‘Bangarang’ EP. In 2015, he joined forces with Justin Bieber and Diplo for the global hit ‘Where Are Ü Now’, released under the duo’s Jack Ü project. With these tracks bridging the gap between electronic music and mainstream pop, Skrillex earned even more acclaim.

To mark the anniversary, let’s honor this legendary milestone by streaming ‘Bangarang’ on Spotify today. Help the music video go viral once more and push it toward 1 billion views on YouTube.

Last year MANLY dropped the speaker shredding ‘REVENGE’ EP which took the bass scene by storm with it’s insanely powerful and aggressive sound. He’s been quickly making a name for himself with his crazy productions and ‘BLOOD BATH’ further solidifies MANLY’s growing reputation.

Crashing the genres of tearout and riddim together, ‘BLOOD BATH’ is a high intensity, high impact, beast that thrills throughout. The breakdowns carefully build tension for the drop through foreboding atmospherics and restrained synths that are let loose in the chorus’. The Sydney based DJ pulls no punches here with a track that pushes the limits of aggression while remaining controlled when it needs to.

MANLY’s work has gained support and recognition from the scene’s top DJs including MARAUDA, SVDDEN DEATH, and MIDNIGHT T. His music has appeared on renowned labels like MALIGNANT, MENTIS, and SOUNDS OF MAYHEM where he has continued to grab people’s attention with his raw and brutal sound.

‘BLOOD BATH’ is in your face, full throttle, bass music at its finest. MANLY’s talent for creating controlled chaos is unmatched making him a must watch artist who is becoming an unstoppable force.

Skrillex Treats Fans To Brand New Music

One week after sending out ‘Bibis Tower’ to all fans who subscribed to his mail list, Skrillex sent out another surprise track today. Titled ‘Scut,’ the song is one of the artist’s most anticipated IDs, having been played for the first time at Lost Lands 2023 by Infekt. Featuring a riddim sound, ‘Scut’ focuses on taking fans through an instrumental journey, rather than a lyrical experience.

After reinventing his style and releasing various genres of music since his comeback, Skrillex‘s new song has a feeling of nostalgia and can remind listeners of the classics that raised him to fame. The free release of ‘Scut’ can also be considered a gift to his supporters as Skrillex‘s second studio album, ‘Quest For Fire’ turned two years old today.

Teasing all this new music in people’s inboxes through a post on social media four weeks ago, Skrillex fans are now wondering if this could be a sign of a new album coming soon. The American DJ is set to be performing at Ultra Music Festival in March, making his return after ten years. His set is one of the most awaited, and it could be a great opportunity for Sonny to drop some fresh music on one of the world’s biggest stage.

Besides this, in November 2024, Skrillex announced on X that his partnership with Atlantic Records will come to an end with his next official project, becoming an independent artists from that moment onwards. The DJ and producer expressed his excitement about this new ‘independent’ beginning through a post on social media platform X:

“Now I’m able to rethink / relook at how structures are designed. I want to find ways to simplify decimating music and art.” Finally, the artist also spoke about how strange the term “independent” is in the music industry and how he will still depend on his team to put together what he does.

Only time will tell what’s to come next for Skrillex, but it seems like things are moving in the right direction for him and new exciting stuff is on the way from the EDM legend.
