There is literally no stopping Mad Decent founder, Major Lazer frontman, #1 most streamed artist on Soundcloud in 2013 (with over 3M followers) and Grammy-nominated producer Diplo on his ascent towards global takeover as he sets to release a deluxe collection of his biggest singles plus five remixes and two brand new tracks featuring collaborations from Waka Flocka Flame, Yellow Claw, Alvaro and more. The 12 track Random White Dude Be Everywhere compilation features Diplo's twerk anthem “Express Yourself” along with the meme-generation hit single “Boy Oh Boy” and chart-climbing “Revolution”, that recently broke the Top 50 Pop Chart at radio! "Revolution" is Diplo's biggest hit to date.
Over the past 10 years, Diplo has become one of the most called-on producers across multiple genres, collaborating with a huge list of superstar artists including Beyoncé, Usher, Justin Bieber, Snoop Lion, No Doubt, Pharrell, and Madonna, as well as Skrillex for the recently-announced and much anticipated Jack U project. His solo work and Major Lazer dancehall project have taken him to the farthest corners of the world and this year, Diplo's Mad Decent Block Party will not only hit 22 cities across North America as a ticketed event, but 2014 will see the inaugural launch of the Mad Decent Boat Party.
Not satisfied working solely in one medium, Diplo recently made his first foray onto the big screen in last week's #1 debut at the box office, 22 Jump Street. The soundtrack for the film, which debuted at #4 on Billboad's Dance / Electronic chart, features Diplo's "Express Yourself" as well as "Freak", his collaboration with Steve Aoki and Deorro. Diplo will also be found inundating smaller screens across America next month as the host of the Questlove-produced VH1 gameshow, "Soundclash", in between major ad campaigns from Doritos and Fiat that feature Diplo's "Express Yourself" and "Biggie Bounce" respectively.
Random White Dude Be Everywhere, eponymously titled after a comment that the omni-internet-present Diplo found in YouTube comment left on one of his videos, is set to drop July 28th via Mad Decent on CD and digital formats, as well as a 7-track vinyl package that includes a digital download of all 12 songs. Available for pre-order today via iTunes and Diplo’s website. Pre-order here: http://smarturl.it/DiploRWDBEbundle and preview the Danny Diggz Remix now on Diplo's Soundcloud soundcloud.com/diplo
