Essential Albums
- Dance-floor kings Skrillex and Diplo show some sophisticated range on their debut album as Jack Ü. “Beats Knockin” turns a New Orleans-style “Triggerman” beat into a synth-heavy workout with MC Fly Boi Keno. Then they immediately flip it on “Take Ü There,” messing with skittering snares and pop melodies atop a juicy, soulful vocal from rave queen Kiesza. There's dark dancehall with Bunji Garlin, low-slung R&B on “Mind,” the tropical-flavored “Where Are Ü Now” with Justin Bieber—Jack Ü is a caffeinated, sensual, super-fun amalgam of everything club music should be.
- Bangarang saw Skrillex home in on his wonky, pitched-up dubstep vision. A more polished recording than his breakthrough EP, Scary Monsters and Nice Sprites, it wastes no time, immediately going for gut-level adrenaline blasts. “Right In” bangs hard out of the gate, while “Right on Time” works synth blips and rattling percussion into an irresistible, frenetic firestorm. And there's no better manifesto for Skrillex’s cab-shaking, sugar-addled vision than the churning samples and pogoing energy of the title track.
- Skrillex’s 2010 debut EP didn’t invent dubstep, but it did instigate the music’s worldwide explosion. The opening “Rock ‘n’ Roll (Will Take You to the Mountain)” is a Trojan horse smuggling glitched-out swagger inside disco-sampling electro-house, and from there all bets are off. The furious title track proves Skrillex a master manipulator of sound and energy, with bass riffs that feel like sculpted thunderbolts. And while his peers’ remixes cement the sound of the era’s festival EDM, the sweetly emo “With You, Friends (Long Drive)” hints at surprising twists that lie just around the corner.
