Get acquainted: TroyBoi – BBC Radio 1 Guest Mix – Diplo And Friends (Audio)

You’ve probably already been blown away by that video snipped of Diplo and TroyBoi‘s performance at Something Wonderful in Dallas, where they dropped their upcoming collabo. If not, check it out after the jump. We’ve been refreshing both artists’ Soundcloud pages by the minute ever since. It has not yet happened. To ease the wait, we’ve chosen this mix for Diplo And Friends on BBC Radio 1. It is inspired by the music TroyBoi used to listen to growing up.

Eat this: Diplo kicks off 2015 on BBC Radio 1 (Audio)

Diplo continues where he left off in 2014 with his weekly radio show Diplo & Friends on BBC Radio 1Xtra. Last Sunday the producer appeared on the first personal edition of the program to entertain the world for almost two hours with his unique mix of electronic, trap and rap music. We’re on our third way through, and still shaking our asses.

Food for thought: Streaming is the future – just not for the average artist

So streaming is the future? Yes, it is. It just isn’t for the average artist. We’re talking about the talented artists out there that have an actual fan base. The ones who have created a demand for their music that needs to be satisfied. It is those artists, who won’t be able to survive solely off streaming. It just won’t happen. It could, but it depends on so many factors coming into play, you might as well wait for a major label exec to just give you a share of his income to compensate you for the shitty deals that have been negotiated on behalf of artists and songwriters in the digital age.

Diplo is showing artists how to take their destiny into their own hands

It is only a matter of time before artists realize that they do not have to place their faith in others anymore. The revolution is constantly happening in the digital space. Now BitTorrent – once the music industry’s scapegoat, because people were using it for so called illegal filesharing – announced a distribution and payment model, where the artists and publishers keep 90 per cent of sales. None other than Diplo is accompanying this announcement with the release of his debut album “Florida” via BitTorrent Bundles.
