On October 31, 2010, SiriusXM was the first North American radio outlet to play music from Skrillex. The private performance is in recognition of SiriusXM's early support of Skrillex's music. The concert will feature the electronic producer performing material from his latest studio album, Recess.

"SiriusXM is one of the most important outlets of our time," said Skrillex. "It has always been able to be a part of up and coming music. So stoked for this event!!"
