Victor Niglio – Jiggy feat. Mr. Man (Original Mix)
Hailing from Mad Decent's hometown of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, Victor Niglio reps Diplo's label with ease on his latest original "Jiggy." On his Jeffree's debut, Niglio wastes no time flaunting the rowdy house style of his parent label, inciting an ass-shaking riot much the same way Diplo's done so many times in the past. Mr. Man takes over on lyrical duties and spits silky smooth verses over the track didgeridoo back bone while percussive flairs and its infectious hook twist and warp the mix into a twerk-friendly freakfest.

Diplo shares six hours of music on his Endless Summer playlist
When Vulture asked Mad Decent labelhead Diplo to curate the perfect summer playlist they didn't expect nearly 100 tracks and 6 hours of music, but that is exactly what they got. The perfect soundtrack to a summer pool party, Diplo's Endless Summer playlist is as eclectic as it is rowdy - featuring a collection of trap, future garage, hip hop, R&B and everything in between. Let Diplo provide the music for your next backyard barbecue, his playlist is guaranteed to set your party off on the right foot (and take it into the early morning hours). Fair warning; your neighbors might hate you.
Premiere: Jeffree’s 32: Foxsky – The Whip EP
Mad Decent's Jeffree's imprint celebrates its 32nd birthday with a 5-track remix EP of Foxsky's "The Whip." Just like my five-year-old self - mainlining rails of pixie dust while playing Super NES - Foxsky's original is an amphetamine-laced 8-bit monstrosity, one that kicks and screams at every game over. Diagnosed with ADD but never treated, Foxsky dabbles in a variety of genres, putting together a blend of dub and electro at a moombahton pace. The rest of EP is equally unique, enlisting ETC!ETC!, The Reef, Vass, and Udachi for remix duties. ETC!ETC! brings in the deep toms and trap flair, The Reef unleashes a hyperactive section of tribal percussion and newcomer Vass delivers a floor-shaking trap remix before Udachi's puts a bmore spin on the track's 8-bit aesthetic.
Diplo settles ‘Harlem Shake’ legal dispute, clears samples for Baauer
No one could have expected the "Harlem Shake" to blow up to the prodigious scale it did, and if you had to pick any song to go viral, at least it was a halfway decent track from a more-than-decent artist. The success of Baauer's ubiquitous single not only spawned a thousand internet spinoffs, it also incurred a lawsuit for copyrighted samples against Mad Decent.
