Kito just released a neat little mix called Views From The SW2 via Mad Decent. It features “a few unreleased Kito things (…) plus a bunch of songs that I love”, to put it in her own words. Thank you very much.
Jack Ü, the supergroup composed of Skrillex and Diplo, just released their first official track. It is called Take Ü There and features lyrics by Kiesza. The song comes with an energetic video, dazzlingly covered in paint, showing the artists in action.
We’re constantly digging the vast abyss called the internet to find that new new for you.

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.

None other than Diplo is accompanying this announcement with the release of his debut album “Florida” via BitTorrent Bundles.
