Sitting at number 28 on the list is Thomas Pentz, the DJ, producer, and Mad Decent founder known as Diplo . Highlighted for his creativity in heading his own independent record label, Diplo is acknowledged for the global success of Baauer's " Harlem Shake " and the antics that made it possible.

Oh remember when Daniel Stein a.k.a DJ Fresh unleashed his massive tune 'Gold Dust' featuring Ce'Cile/Ms. Dynamite back in 2008 and 2010? Massive summer anthem for sure. Now, the summer of 2013 he teams up with Diplo and Mad Decent for 'Earthquake' featuring Dominique Young Unique. Originally the production for this tune was used by Angel Haze for her diss record for Azealia Banks but now it has been tweaked around and I'm pretty sure this will be quite big this summer. It's not 'Gold Dust' but it's pretty addictive and 'Earthquake' is set to drop soon on Ministry of [...]
![Waves ft. Gent and Jawns [Event]](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4935430_lg.jpg)
Waves is a party series that takes place in Long Beach area. Created by ARNTRE , the same people who brought you Trapical and Smurko from Shakedown.

Smurko will bring you that bass, 2Deep will get you dancing with a girl, and then the headliners Gent and Jawns will turn it up. Gent and Jawns recent success with radio play and mad support from Diplo and many others has made them a [...]

The lineup for Mad Decent Block Party 2013 has been announced, and while there are no surprises, featuring the label's signees and founder Diplo, it's no less exciting. A slightly different string of artists will be performing at each city, including Major Lazer, Flosstradamus, Baauer, Dillon Francis, RiFF RAFF, Zeds Dead, and others, with even [...]
Not many can break through the blubber and get some shin in the world of club music, but by the age of 17, SWICK had done just that. With so many lack luster acts crowding the tinernet based music scene, this young Australian has made some amazing headway the past few years, gaining acclaim from some of the biggest names in the business. With an arsenal of releases on labels including Mad Decent , Top Billin’ , No Brainer , Enchufada , Sweat it Out! , (not [...]
Diplo's Mad Decent Block Party grows a little further expanding to a wholesome 13 cities, doubling since last year ! New cities that'll be on the receiving end of decent jams include Brooklyn, Detroit and San Diego. Although we don't have any acts announced yet yet last year's mammoth number of artists that included RiFF Raff, Zeds Dead, Dillon Francis, Claude Von Stroke and others should be a good litmus test for this years festivities. This year's festival will now be a ticketed event ($20 a pop), which may possibly be [...]
No one could have expected the "Harlem Shake" to blow up to the prodigious scale it did - from YouTube virility to the top of the charts. The success of Baauer's ubiquitous single not only spawned a thousand internet spinoffs, it also incurred a lawsuit for copyrighted samples against Mad Decent. Both Hector Delgado and Jayson Musson pressed the label for compensation over the track's use of unlicensed samples. Diplo , as the head of Mad Decent, has come to aid of the label's blossoming trap star, settling the legal dispute with Delgado and Musson and clearing the "Harlem Shake" samples. [...]
As we previously reported, Baauer was in some potentially hot water over two uncleared samples on his smash single "Harlem Shake". But thankfully for everyone involved, the producer's label head, Diplo, stepped in to save the day. The Mad Decent leader told Huffington Post that he got in touch with the artists behind the samples, Jayson Musson and Hector Delgado, and got everything cleared. Diplo said he didn't even know the song had samples, but once he found that out he took the right steps to fix it so Baauer wouldn't "be making negative [...]
Unfortunately, I wasn't able to meet up with The Flexican at Miami Music Week but he was still cool enough to give us an interview from across the sea in his home country of the Netherlands. One of the up and coming artist off Mad Decent , who is sure to explode over the next year, we got to sit down and talk Latin music and songs we wished would fall off the face of the earth in this interview. His sound inherits a lot from his roots, being [...]
Consider any party you even think of throwing this forthcoming summer as inferior, as the Mad Decent Block Party is back. Starting things up in Calgary, Alberta on July 19, Mad Decent signees will be travelling around 13 North American cities within three months, with the tour's final stop in San Diego. ir This means that there will be, if my math is correct, almost three times as many people trying to express themselves and Major Lazer dancers compared to last year. In the event that you don't know what to expect from one the rowdiest parties of [...]

Diplo is KING. In the world of electronic music, people get far too concerned with genres and playing the "this genre is better than that" game. Diplo prefers to transcend all the petty BS and concentrates on making party music. Bwomp beats. Who cares what it is. Wobble bass? Fast hi hats and 808 kicks? 4/4 beat or half-step break? Maracas? To Diplo all is fair game in the name of hotness. He just wants to get people twerking and booties bouncing. Who can argue with that?!
There are some things someone should just not pass up. Like a drink with your favourite band, or even a free feed from your favourite sushi place because your new friend has offered to pay for it. Some things just have to be enjoyed and Philadelphia label MAD DECENT have just announced something that could become one of these can’t-pass-up moments. The label run by Wesley Pentz, aka DIPLO or half of MAJOR LAZER , has just released a few posters and a quick YouTube [...]

Y no es de esperarse que las primeras fiestas de esta época comiencen a anunciarse, una de las más esperadas es esta: la fiesta que organiza Mad Decent en varias ciudades de Estados Unidos Con un cartel inigualable y que pone a todos a bailar, Mad Decent anuncia lo que será su nueva temporada de block parties en Estados Unidos que seguramente muy pronto dará a conocer el talento que formará parte de ellas. Por ahora los dejamos [...]
I know we don’t have to tell you who Diplo is. Our older family members know who Diplo is. And you all know someone who’s has a picture twerkin’ and expressing themselves . He’s made music with everyone from Tiesto to random dancehall artists and leaves a trail of sweaty bodies and shaked out booties wherever he goes. DJ GQ is a party starter and studio monster and you already know he produces songs for the biggest names in pop music in between turning nightclubs into hedonistic, free-for-alls, and making documentaries about the [...]
It’s been a huge week for Major Lazer fans across the globe. "Free The Universe" is just around the corner and the Major Lazer guys have been good enough to give us a fourth installment of their "Lazer Strikes Back" series. Volume 4 has a slightly different feel to the first 3 installments, this time including remix's of American hiphopper Drake and the re-born Snoop Lion, an alternate vocal version of "Get Free" and another No Doubt remix from Diplo, Walshy and Jillionire. If you’re as excited as we are for the release of "Free The Universe" [...]
DJ Javier Estrada Por: @folkmetender Se sabe poco sobre DJ Javier Estrada , es una pena, no sólo porque es uno de los productores más interesantes de música electrónica que tenemos en México, además es una gran persona. No tengo el gusto de conocerlo en persona. He escuchado su música y lo he visto en vivo, pero nunca hemos estrechado manos. Después de platicar con él vía telefónica, estoy seguro de que es un gran tipo y que tiene los pies muy bien puestos sobre la tierra. El pretexto para hablarle a su celular [...]
