Skrillex Trivia: From Post-Hardcore to the Drop
Five facts about the band he fronted, the Grammys and the pop records he produced.
How Well Do You Know Skrillex's Drops?
The drops come easy, the post-hardcore years and the production credits are where players slip.
The brostep drops that built the hype (easy points)
Casual players rack up points here. 'Scary Monsters and Nice Sprites', 'Bangarang' and 'First of the Year (Equinox)' carry the metallic, lurching drop that made Skrillex a household name around 2011. When it sounds like the machine is tearing itself apart, you are probably hearing one of these.
The post-hardcore past most players miss
Before any of the drops, Sonny Moore was the lead singer of the post-hardcore band From First to Last. A round that asks what he did before Skrillex, or plays an old vocal, catches out anyone who only knows the dubstep.
The Jack Ü crossover with Diplo and Bieber
In 2015 Skrillex teamed with Diplo as Jack Ü and cut 'Where Are Ü Now' with Justin Bieber, pulling festival production onto pop radio. Spotting his sound inside a Bieber single is the trap here.
His fingerprints on other people's hits
Skrillex produces far beyond his own name. He cut 'Purple Lamborghini' with Rick Ross for the 'Suicide Squad' film and co-produced Justin Bieber's 2015 smash 'Sorry'. The quiz likes to hide him inside a track credited to someone else.
