What would you do if Diplo was sitting at the head of the conference table as you gave a presentation? Would you sweat? We turned it into a dance party and trashed the board room. Watch the video for “Diplo Hates You” by Dani Deahl and Oh Snap co-starring Diplo and Pete Wentz – shot in Red Bull’s so-Cal headquarters.

We guess that Diplo’s travel book sold mad decently, because publisher Rizzoli New York has now signed M.I.A. on to be the next musician to deliver an autobiographical title, according to Freshgood.com. The self-titled 192-page book, due out in October, will feature “monograph in collages made by the powerful and thought-provoking artist herself.” Given M.I.A. usual seizure-inducing art direction, you might want to take a Xanax before delving into a books worth of it.

DJs Diplo, Skrillex and A-Trak are on the cover of this week’s Billboard Magazine, the music industry’s biggest trade paper. Hardly surprising given dance music’s current overwhelming popularity in America. The three sat down for an interview during the cover shoot and bonded over playing festivals, running their own labels and a love of Twitter. They also promise a collaboration.
Of course, it’s hard not to look at the new Billboard cover and recall back to a cover of URB from 2006.

Diplo and his #1 homie Tiësto backstage at Coachella.
We’ve lost track of how many times Diplo has appeared on the Coachella stage over the year, first as tour DJ for M.I.A. in 2006, and at least once with his own act, Major Lazer. Throw in at least one solo DJ set in 2008, and you’d think he’d be a pretty big fan of the annual festival. Apparently he’s a bigger fan of talking trash on Twitter, like he did yesterday when he tweeted: “
“Maybe I’m just throwing shade but ‘Coachsmella’ looks pretty lame this year. You used to be a place to check out new bands/music.
“Besides Snoop and Dre that’s boss shit right there. Its like bootleg Ultra with a few bands that are safe.”
The tweet has been deleted, but what do you think? Is “Coachsmella” not cool anymore because Diplo said so? …MORE
