The discography of Skrillex, the American electronic music producer, consists of one studio album, six extended plays, seventeen singles.[1]

Moore released his first extended play, Gypsyhook on April 7, 2009 through Atlantic Records as Sonny.[2] He then began producing music under the pseudonym Skrillex, released a second extended play, My Name Is Skrillex, as a free download from his MySpace page.[3] The release was succeeded by a single, "WEEKENDS!!!", featuring Sirah, which was released on October 25, 2010 in the USA.[4] Skrillex rose to fame in late 2010 when he released a third EP, Scary Monsters and Nice Sprites on October 22 through labels mau5trap and Big Beat Records.[5] The release saw moderate success, peaking at number forty-nine on the Billboard 200 and receiving an award for Best Dance/Electronica Album at the 54th Grammy Awards. The album's title track, also released as the lead single, saw international acclaim, receiving an award for Best Dance Recording at the aforementioned ceremony, and peaking at number sixty-nine on the Billboard Hot 100. Moore's remix of "Cinema" by Benny Benassi also won a Grammy Award for Best Remixed Recording, Non-Classical.[6]

June 7, 2011 saw Skrillex release a fourth EP, More Monsters and Sprites, which primarily featured remixes of previous tracks.[7] The release charted in the lower regions on the Billboard 200, spawning the singles "First of the Year (Equinox)", which reached number eighty-five on the Hot 100 and "Ruffneck (Full Flex)" which peaked at number eighty-nine in the United Kingdom. In December 2011, Skrillex released Bangarang, a fifth EP, featuring collaborations with The Doors, Ellie Goulding and Wolfgang Gartner.[8] Bangarang has since become his most commercially successful EP, peaking at number fifteen on the Billboard 200, number six in Canada, number thirty-one in the United Kingdom, and number four in Australia. His sixth EP, Leaving, was released on January 2, 2013, exclusively to The Nest.[9] Skrillex released his first studio album Recess in March 2014.[10] In 2015 Moore collaborated with Diplo under the name Jack Ü, releasing a self-titled album in June of that year.[11]
