After being teased back in December, Diplo has finally unveiled his official remix for Psy’s viral sensation, “Gangnam Style.” The song features a reworked structure that strives to make the club-friendly song feel fresh once again, with new verses from 2 Chainz and Tyga added on top to hopefully earn a few extra clicks. You can stream and download …
February 23rd, 2013 Dayton O'Connor Major Lazer’s hotly anticipated Free The Universe has been pushed back before, and it’s getting pushed back again. The sophomore LP from Diplo’s electronic-dancehall side project was initially scheduled for release back in September of 2012.
However, circumstances beyond the band’s control forced a rescheduling of the release to February 19. But based on a statement from the group yesterday, it looks like fans are going to have to wait a bit longer still.
Our fans are the most important part of what makes Major Lazer what it is. It is with that consideration that “FREE THE UNIVERSE” will not

January 14th, 2013 Dayton O'Connor Yung king of trap Baauer describes his sound as, “Hip-Hop born from The Internet”. Well we like hip-hop and it goes without saying that we’re also fans of the internet. We’re guessing you are too.
We know, we know. We shouldn’t assume; it makes an ass out of you and me. But we’re guessing you’re probably reading this while you’re using the internet, right? Unless you’re some sort of wizard or something.
Anyways, Baauer has just graced his beloved internet with a new track. Premiered on Diplo’s BBC Radio 1Xtra show, “Slip” is more of what we’ve come to expect …

January 7th, 2013 Dayton O'Connor Diplo’s swag is unimpeachable.
The vaunted producer and one man braintrust behind international party sensation Major Lazer is known for his embrace of the outsized. His rider is amazing. His list of collaborators read like a who’s who of pop music’s most exciting contemporary figures. Did you know that he used to be a teacher? There’s nothing more ratchet than education!
He’s also a noted supported of alternative mass transit – he toured Canada by train earlier with Skrillex, Grimes, Pretty Lights and others of their ilk. Who could top that? Diplo could.
The week of January …

December 17th, 2012 Dayton O'Connor It’s one thing to be able to party all night. That’s impressive, if you’re a co-ed at a college rager. For seasoned vets like Major Lazer, the fun doesn’t stop until you’re on another continent.
The genre-mashing dance project, helmed by producer Diplo and featuring a rotating cast of merry collaborators (in this instance, British EDM whiz kid Flux Pavilion), just released the video for “Jah No Partial”.
The video, made up of footage taken from the Mad Decent Block Party Philadelphia, the Notting Hill Carnival in London, and Pukkelpop in Belgium, showcases The Major Lazer Experience in …

December 12th, 2012 Dayton O'Connor Page Six, the vaunted gossip section of the New York Post, got a hand on producer Diplo’s rider and boy, is it a doozy. Right up there with the great tour riders of yore from the likes of Mötley Crüe and Van Halen.
For those not in the know, the rider is a document that will outline requests and requirements that a band will need for their tour. This can be light arrangements and stage design schematics or, more infamously, alcohol, drugs, and if you’re Limp Bizkit, light fixtures with dimmer switches.
So what would a …
