Skrillex just dropped a new EP just in time for xmas. Many of the songs are just official or reworked versions of past releases, but they are all pretty stellar. He posted the following on his twitter:

The EP is huge. No lesser words to describe it. Here's a run down track by track:
1.
Right In has been his opening song for most festivals over the summer, and a song he's been trying to keep pretty under wraps.
2.
Bangarang, the title track of the album, is quite tried and true Skrillex, some light Sirah vocals, in-your-face-talking-bass and what not. Only difference is, its a Moombah beat. The two styles blend pretty flawlessly for a bumpin' track.
3. The third track,
Breakin' A Sweat, is the collab track for the Regeneration project, he did with the doors. Many of you have probably heard it, though this version features some tweaks, a spoken verse in the middle breakdown. The doors vocal samples are kind of cheesy, but other than that, its a solid track.
4. Bangarang EP also includes his Electro-House banger collab with Wolfgang:
Devil's Den. It dispels some of the hate against Sonny going around that he only does same sounding dub. Well he also does hard hitting electro. Chaotic, and awesome.
5. The 5th track is a huge collab between Kill The Noise, whose recent LP is sick, and 12th Planet, a bud of Sonny's and great DJ on his own right. The track's called
Right On Time.
6. Another reworked and finalized track,
Kyoto ft. Sirah (weeknds anyone?), is a "dubstep" track, with a strange 117bpm, and many of you will recognize it as the original "Ruffneck Bass" before More Monsters and Sprites EP came out.
7. The final track leaked in an early edit form which many called "Breathe", and featured some added vocals by Krewella. The real version is called
Summit, and features the soothing vocals of Ellie Goulding (lights anyone?).
On a whole, its easy to see Skrillex has matured a bit on this EP, and put out a more versatile, appealing sound than the ultra-heavy dub rut he was stuck in for a while there.
And Skrilly said it himself, he doesn't care if you pirate it, so no excuses, go get it.
