Skrillex's remix of "Cinema" took a Benny Benassi track and turned it into a monster of its own. The original paired the Italian DJ and electro house producer with the British singer-songwriter Gary Go, who wrote and sang it over music Benny made with Alle Benassi. It first surfaced in the video game Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit in November 2010 before Ultra released it in March 2011, and it sits on Electroman, Benassi's fourth studio album.
The single's EP rounded up remixes from Skrillex, Laidback Luke, Alex Gaudino and Congo Rock, and it was the Skrillex version that ran off with the prize: it hung around Billboard's Dance chart for more than two years and won the Grammy for Best Remixed Recording in 2012.
