More Monsters and Sprites is the third EP and first

Big Beat Records and mau5trap Recordings, while being released on other online retailers on June 21, 2011. It is a follow-up to his previous EP, Scary Monsters and Nice Sprites, containing four additional remixes of the title track done by Dirtyphonics, Phonat, The Juggernauts and Kaskade, as well as three original tracks. The iTunes version also includes a music video of "Rock n' Roll (Will Take You to the Mountain)". Musically, More Monsters and Sprites uses prominent elements of dubstep, while also featuring technical breakdowns and influences of reggae
within the first track.

The EP reached number 124 on the

UK Singles Chart in the United Kingdom.[9] A Christmas-themed music video directed by Tony Truand premiered for the song on December 23, 2011.[10]

The project was originally intended to be an LP, but due to Skrillex’s apartment being robbed not long before completion, it was made an EP.

A vinyl version of this album was released on November 23, 2012 with a very different track listing, forgoing most of the remix tracks for the 3 unique tracks from the album, followed by the 2010 single "

Zedd.[11]
