After recruiting a new band lineup, Moore joined the Alternative Press Tour to support bands such as All Time Low & The Rocket Summer, & appeared on the cover of Alternative Press' annual "100 Bands You Need to Know" issue. After releasing the Gypsyhook EP in 2009, Moore was scheduled to record his debut studio album, Bells, with producer Noah Shain. However, he ceased production of the album & began performing under the name Skrillex. After releasing the My Name is Skrillex EP for free download on his official MySpace page, he released the Scary Monsters & Nice Sprites EP in late–2010 & More Monsters & Sprites EP in mid–2011. Both have since become moderate commercial successes but huge underground success.
