Sonny Moore, aka Skrillex , has decided he is building an 11,000 square foot space in LA's Chinatown to be a studio facility for the "computer musician" as a way to realize his aspirations to give back to the craft that has gotten him to where he is now. Recently, the Ibiza International Music Summit presented their first IMS Engage Summit in Hollywood, CA at the W Hotel, in which they paired 12 producers, managers, label-heads, and executives including Skrillex, Pete Tong , Diplo , Def Jam founder Russell Simmons , [...]

Diplo y Skrillex son dos de los DJs más importantes del momento. Ambos hacen unos mashups y producciones espectaculares que, gusten o no, se convirtieron en tendencia.

Esta vez presentaron Jack U , un supergrupo de Diplo y Skrillex. La [...]
With April 16 right around the corner and Major Lazer's Free The Universe to drop on that date, Diplo's saved up one final album leak to spring on fans in anticipation [...]
If you caught any of Major Lazer's frantic, fun-as-hell festival-rocking live shows over the last few years, you likely saw girls twerking on speaker-risers, Skerritt Bwoy performing death-defying feats of daggering, and Diplo perched behind his DJ table, looking vaguely bemused at the whole spectacle. But the Major Lazer that appeared last night on Late Night With Jimmy Fallon was a very different beast. Diplo, all suited up, played keyboard on the slow, sultry reggae song " Get Free " while Dirty Projectors singer Amber Coffman cooed on the mic, her bandmate Dave Longstreth held down guitar duties, [...]
fvck guns Aside from Snoop’s recent makeover, I’m going to go ahead and throw my (considerable) internet weight behind this one. Powerful enough message that even the boy Drake felt he had to get involved. Speaking of makeovers, a new collaboration with Miley below as well. Billy Ray must be so proud. Snoop Lion feat. Drake & Cori B - No Guns Allowed Snoop Lion feat. Miley Cyrus - Ashtrays & Heartbreaks
Iggy Azalea drops the official video for her Diplo & FKi Fki-produced 'Slo.', taken off her "TrapGold"-mixtape (available for free download here ) via HungerMag. Peep the black and white visuals and grab the tune below, and I've also attached a quite nice remix of Iggy's current single 'Work' signed Epic Empire for free download, the only thing I don't like about it is the repetition of the end, twice, a bit unnecessary and has no meaning really:

It's been a long time since I've written about either Drop The Lime or Mad Decent , but this short video really struck me. Apart from the cliched video editing, Luca Venezia actually gives some pretty fascinating insight into the current musical landscape. The fact that there isn't really an underground in the electronic scene anymore and the inescapable crush of EDM and are both credited with causing Venezia and others to branch out into unusual new ventures (DTL as a rock & roll singer, Jason Forrest as a [...]
O que aconteceu aos Bonde do Rolê ? A banda de electro-funk carioca de língua afiada, letras carregadas de sexo, drogas e baixaria que tanto nos divertiu em With Lasers (2007) com temas como " Solta o Frango ". Com o último álbum Tropicalbacanal , a banda ficou ainda mais fora e tresloucada desafiando estilos com o seu jogo de cintura brasileiro. Há uns meses ouvimos " Kilo ", o hiper-sexuado " Brazilian Boys " com Cecile ou " Bang " ao lado dos Das Racist. Depois do electro-kitsch e do punk-pop, abram alas para o [...]

After premiering his new cultural documentary series Blow Your Head on Potato last week, Diplo has followed it up with a strong second showing. The latest installment features Qween Beat co-founder Mike Q and shines a light on the underground LGBT ballroom scene that he makes music within. While the seminal 1990 documentary Paris is Burning introduced the "voguing" dance form to mainstream consciousness, Mike Q shows that the style is alive and well in modern day Manhattan and New Jersey. Diplo has delivered again, providing a great glimpse into a [...]
Diplo 's Express Yourself EP slipped through the cracks a bit, overshadowed by the Major Lazer hype train. Plucking one of the lesser known tracks from the 2012 EP, Diplo gives some visual glamour to "Butter's Theme". The trippy, kaliedoscope clip features plenty of booty shakin' babes and balaclava-donned belly dancers. Catch the replay above.

A l'heure où Baauer devient le nouveau PSY avec son titre « Harlem Shake » qui pour l'occasion est passé en payant et est premier des ventes iTunes, Diplo continue de surfer sur la vague des gros booty avec cette fois-ci le clip de « Butter's Theme » où l'on retrouve Gent et Jawns .

"These are our stories from the roads, the streets, the sidelines and the backstages. This is Blow Your Head ," Diplo calmly introduces his new cultural documentary series from mega-project, Potato . The inaugural episode follows Mexican DJ trio 3BallMTY through Mexico City as they prepare to play for over 200,000 fans in opening for Justin Bieber. Unlike Skrillex's Bang! , which was debuted on Potato earlier this week, Diplo's video series takes a deep look beneath the surface of music as we know it. You just finished reading [...]
Diplo's latest music video is like most his music videos in that it's visually absurd and features a lot of women dropping and shaking their assets. This latest piece of twerk hypnotism accompanies "Butter's Theme," a cut from his 2012 Express Yourself EP. It's the one of the first videos to appear on the POTATO YouTube channel , which he's sharing with A-Trak and Skrillex. Check it out below.
