Super producer Diplo takes a crack at remixing the most viewed Youtube song of all time, Psy’s “Gangnam Style”. 2 Chainz and Tyga add a verse to the remix.

Diplo provides the production on this weak No Doubt track.

Vermont duo Lazerdisk Party Sex links up with Diplo for a track off of the upcoming June 12th release for his Express Yourself EP.

An obvious unfinished version of a Posner single leaked earlier today. It was first featured in that awkward Reebok commercial and now we hear the track in it’s (90%) entirety. Diplo and Benny Blanco on the boards? Jesus. Coupled with his production credits on Bieber’s “Boyfriend”, Posner may be making a comeback.

If you’ve ever watched a music video and thought, “I want what he/she is wearing,” the new hotspot technology from wireWAX  may be the answer to your problems. Here’s what SSENSE had to say about the video for “I Think She Ready”:

The music video premiere of ‘I Think She Ready’ featuring FKi, newly-signed Interscope rapper Iggy Azalea and Grammy-nominated Diplo debuts exclusively on SSENSE. The video was shot and produced in LA by founder of What You Steal, Alex 2Tone, whose previous video credits include Iggy Azalea’s “My World” and work with Dizzee Rascal and Danny Brown. The video was styled entirely by SSENSE, where you can shop Iggy’s, FKi’s and Diplo’s looks using interactive hotspot technology from wireWAX – every item featured is available to purchase directly through the video.

Azealia Banks drops off a freebie with Diplo on the boards. If you haven’t read the Diplo feature by Rolling Stone then what the fuck are you doing. Excerpt below is just a small preview.

Instantly, major-label A&Rs began begging Diplo for what he calls “Paper Planes Part 2.” By 2011, Kanye West was summoning Diplo to Watch the Throne sessions. “Kanye put me in a room with this Nigerian pop star, put on ‘Lift Off,’ told us, ‘Fix this track up,’ and left,” Diplo recalls. “Mary-Kate and Ashley were there, too, listening to stuff, like a litmus test for white America.” Recently, hitmaker Dr. Luke called Diplo in for three days of studio work. The dance titan Tiesto co-produced a house track with him. Last summer, true to genre-scrambling form, Diplo tapped the respected classical composer Nico Muhly to play on a whispery slow jam called “Climax” – it’s Usher’s new single.

Another Diplo collab, and another batsh*t crazy video to go with it. I can for sure get down to this song though, although probably not to the extent that this Dutch couple did.

Lead single from the upcoming Mad Decent mixtape.  Project drops January 23rd.

So is it that much of a surprise that the most well cultured man in electronic music is making his way into literature? No, no it is not.
