Born Sonny Moore, the electronic music maven has been scoring golden gramophones left and right for the past two years. In 2012, he won Best Dance Recording and Best Remixed Recording, among other awards.
This year, Skrillex and singer Sirah were up against some of EDM's biggest names, beating out Avicii, Calvin Harris and Swedish House Mafia for the top spot.
Skrillex's remix of Nero's "Promises" also picked up the Best Remixed Recording, Non-Classical award.
The Best Dance Recording award has garnered a lot of heat recently for fellow nominee Al Walser, a seemingly unknown artist. His song "I Can't Live Without You" doesn't exactly measure up with the quality of the other nominees, causing some artists to accuse the Grammys of being broken.
